George Babich, Jr. President & CEO In an ever-growing retail market, companies are aggressively implementing theft preventive solutions to increase their product’s shelf life and gain a competitive edge. While reducing retail shrink remains a top priority, providing an appealing customer experience is also a challenge for retailers. “We help retail organizations tackle these challenges by enabling retailers to achieve accurate real time inventory and reduce theft, while improving the overall customer experience,” says George Babich, Jr., President and CEO, Checkpoint Systems. Checkpoint provides retail organizations with proficient data analytic engine, latest radio frequency technology, and market leading RFID hardware and software.
Checkpoint offers a broad product portfolio which includes Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems, Alpha high-theft security solutions, and RFID merchandise visibility solutions. Next generation EAS solutions from Checkpoint—the EVOLVE iRange— comprise of six different state-of-the-art antennas, a broad range of EAS labels and the Counterpoint iD deactivation unit for faster and consistent deactivation at point-of-sale (POS).
The EVOLVE iRange offers retail stores, enhanced detection capabilities, regardless of the size or position of the EAS label and thus reduces store shrinkage by 30 percent. Furthermore, the company has also introduced, EVOLVE-Store, a real time app for smartphones and tablets that supports
real-time EAS and Organized Retail Crime (ORC) event management. The app enables retailers to measure and improve consumer conversion rates through real-time visibility of the number of shoppers in stores. However, equipping stores with surveillance systems is not enough as it is estimated that retailers incur a loss of about 45B US Dollars annually to retail theft.

Alpha High Theft Solutions, a division of Checkpoint, comes to the rescue of retailers against theft by offering a wide array of products such as keepers, spider wraps, bottle caps, cableloks and other display solutions. Alpha’s solutions are designed to defend and enhance retailers’ bottom line and deliver lower shrink as well as higher sales figures. Extending their support to retailers, Checkpoint has come up with innovative shrink management solutions to help its customers increase sales and profits by improving their supply chain efficiency and building a secure, open merchandising environment. “With our Radio Frequency Tag and label development, as well as source tagging, we enable our customers to optimize their product security mandates and supply chain capabilities,” adds Babich.
Checkpoint has also beefed up its arsenal with the RFID-Based EAS Overhead 2.0 Solution – a smaller, more flexible, and easier to deploy platform that integrates merchandise visibility and loss prevention. Overhead 2.0 delivers real-time inventory and serves as an EAS system that alarms and identifies stolen merchandise, improving operations at the point-of-exit while enhancing the customer shopping experience. It leverages the OneTag approach, a single open-standard RFID tag for inventory visibility and loss prevention, simplifying deployment and reducing tag costs significantly.
Checkpoint products are developed and manufactured in-house by a set of prominent engineers who are provided with the best environment to strive and thrive in. The company aims to produce more eco-friendly products and support the use of renewable natural resources, to reduce their carbon footprint. Checkpoint’s foundations are laid on innovation and excellence which has been driving it for the past 45 years and still propels it forward.
