Checkpoint launches SFERO, a new customisable RFID as EAS Solution

Checkpoint Systems, a global leader in integrated RFID/RF solutions has launched a new, high-performing, modular RFID as EAS Solution for apparel retailers looking to minimise losses and maximise sales.

SFERO is its next-level retail solution that offers an EAS system built around RFID technology using antennas and overheads, providing the highest level of stock protection so far.

As retailers look to enhance their customer in-store experience, Checkpoint Systems has been investing in innovative technologies that answer demands for immersive store designs and layouts enabling shoppers to see, touch and try products, while also minimising shrinkage and loss.

Over the years, RFID technology has revolutionised modern retail operations by improving merchandise visibility and inventory accuracy. But its full potential remains untapped, because until now, it has been impossible to tailor protection depending on the size of a store’s infrastructure. This is where SFERO comes in. Characterised by its modularity, it offers retailers a tailored and customisable solution depending on their specific store requirements, moving away from a one-size fits all system when it comes to store security.

Our next-generation SFERO solution offers retailers a bespoke solution from the outset, meaning they needn’t be restricted by external parameters beyond their control. It’s about maximising security and protection, without compromising store design.

Checkpoint tailoring solutions to your store’s particular need

The revolutionary tech means retailers can choose the level of security visibility at store entrances and exits. For stores and brands where visible protection is a necessity, the antennas serve as a prominent visible deterrent, covering up to 10m entrance width, but with sleek designs that effortlessly fit in with the aesthetics of modern retail environments.

For retailers that prefer not to detract from their visual merchandising displays, the SFERO overhead-only solution offers an almost invisible doorway option, covering up to 3.5m in height, that does not deter from the store’s look and feel, whilst still offering that vital protection against theft.

As well as antenna or overhead-only based configurations, SFERO also offers a combined solution, upgradeable for stores with larger entrances or more complex requirements.

Modular RFID to future-proof your store in a cost-effective way

RFID as EAS has been designed with retailers’ current and future needs in mind. It can be scaled up or down to any level of protection performance at any time – also making it a more economical.

Stores will be able to ‘bolt’ on extra features to their initial investment as and when they wish, -without needing to change what has already been deployed. This enables stores to be agile, effortlessly transitioning their security needs as the business evolves.

Checkpoint Systems’ fully customisable, adaptable, and high-performance solution enables retailers to embrace game-changing RFID technology within their stores more easily, improving merchandise accuracy, reducing loss, and protecting the business’ bottom line.

SFERO offers retailers peace of mind combining extremely high detection rates with the ability to customise and adapt it as they please. As the in-store experience grows in importance for the consumer, it is crucial that retailers are constantly responding to this, or they risk falling behind.
