Retail Protection by Store Type
Different stores face different shrink patterns, merchandise risks, and operational constraints. QSC helps retailers match Sensormatic systems and consumables to practical store needs.
Supermarkets
Common challenges
High-volume checkout, packaged goods shrink, limited entrance control
Recommended approach
AM labels on high-risk items, entrance pedestals for apparel/electronics, deactivators at checkout
Pharmacies
Common challenges
Discreet protection for high-value items, regulatory compliance, customer experience
Recommended approach
APX sheet labels for packaged items, entrance coverage for OTC electronics, low-profile pedestals
Apparel stores
Common challenges
Open merchandising, high-value items, entrance/exit coverage, fitting room control
Recommended approach
Hard tags on high-risk items, entrance pedestals (Synergy or Ultra), fitting room monitoring
Specialty shops
Common challenges
Merchandise-specific protection, aesthetic considerations, entrance layout
Recommended approach
Tailored tag selection per product type, entrance solution matched to store design
Small chains & branch operators
Common challenges
Standardization across locations, supply coordination, consistent support

Unified system selection, centralized consumables ordering, multi-store rollout planning
Key Considerations for Your Store
Store Layout
Entrance count, exit points, merchandise zones, and fitting room placement determine system positioning and tag strategy.
Merchandise Profile
Product types, value ranges, and shrink risk categories guide tag selection and deactivation approach.
Operational Needs
Checkout speed, staff training, multi-store coordination, and supply logistics shape the practical solution.
