To achieve the best results, we combine partnerships with some of the world's leading loss prevention technology providers with the knowledge we've gained from working alongside retailers every day.
The challenges retailers face are rarely unique. Most share the same concerns around shrinkage, product protection and operational efficiency. Our experience across multiple retail sectors allows us to recommend proven solutions based on real-world results, helping our customers make informed decisions with confidence.
Every recommendation is tailored to each retailer's requirements, offering different approaches backed by practical experience and measurable performance.
Our Supermarket Loss Prevention Solutions
EAS Gates
In partnership with Nedap, we provide industry-leading RF and RFID technology for supermarkets, hypermarkets, fashion retailers, DIY stores, pharmacies, perfumeries and many other retail sectors.
Discreet, reliable and built for long-term performance, Nedap EAS gates protect merchandise while improving the day-to-day experience for both store teams and customers.
Always connected, our systems enable proactive remote monitoring and maintenance. If an issue arises, the system automatically alerts our technical team, allowing most incidents to be diagnosed and resolved remotely - reducing downtime, service costs and environmental impact.
RF, RFID & AM Labels
Adhesive security labels are an essential part of any loss prevention strategy. Different products require different solutions, whether displayed on open shelves, refrigerated or stored in frozen environments.
At STC Retail, we supply RF, RFID and AM labels manufactured to the highest industry standards, delivering outstanding detection performance, reliable deactivation and long-term durability.
Safers
Through Chromium—the only European manufacturer of polycarbonate security boxes—we provide loss prevention solutions specifically designed to protect high-risk products while keeping them fully visible at the point of sale.
Our portfolio includes more than 70 different safer designs for products such as alcoholic beverages, razor blades, deodorants, perfumes, Iberian cured meats, ice cream, coffee capsules, cheese, chocolate, olive oil and many other frequently stolen items.
Manufactured from premium transparent polycarbonate, Chromium safers allow customers to view the product clearly while protecting it against theft and damage.
We also offer multiple security levels, including exclusive locking systems that can only be opened using detachers supplied by STC Retail and our authorised distributors. Our safers are fully compatible with RF, AM and RFID technologies.
Loss Prevention Accessories
A wide range of reusable accessories is available to protect merchandise, and our extensive experience allows us to recommend the most suitable solution for every product category.
Our portfolio includes traditional hard tags, triple-alarm spider wraps, bottle tags, optical tags, cable locks and many other specialist accessories, ensuring effective protection across virtually every retail category.
We also supply the complete range of detachers and deactivators required to support every security solution.
Source Tagging
One of our core areas of expertise is RFID Source Tagging.
Source tagging protects products from the moment they leave the manufacturing facility, ensuring every item complies with the retailer's protection standards before entering the supply chain. This approach significantly reduces shrinkage throughout the supply chain while guaranteeing consistent label selection, placement and performance through strict quality control at source.
By applying RFID labels during production, retailers also reduce in-store labour costs, streamline operations and improve the speed and consistency of the tagging process.
Supermarket Loss Prevention Designed for High-Volume Retail
Supermarkets present unique operational challenges: high customer volumes, fast-moving products, multiple entrances and exits, and rapid checkout processes. Loss prevention technology must therefore do much more than detect theft - it must deliver continuous, accurate protection without disrupting the customer journey.
At STC Retail, we implement EAS and RFID loss prevention solutions specifically designed for supermarkets and large-format retail environments. Our systems protect everything from high-risk merchandise to fast-moving consumer goods, providing reliable detection even during peak trading periods while significantly reducing false alarms.
Our technology also integrates seamlessly with supermarket operations, enabling checkout deactivation control, real-time alarm monitoring and access to valuable operational data. The result is a robust, scalable solution that helps reduce shrinkage, improve operational efficiency and deliver a frictionless shopping experience.
