Case Study: Coop achieves reliable, modular IP protection for high-value retail goods with acre security

Vanderbilt’s SPC protects Coop retail chain in Switzerland

Coop, Switzerland’s largest retail network with more than 2,200 shops, CHF 19.2 billion in annual turnover and 47,000 employees, needed a reliable, SES EN–certified alarm solution to protect high-value in-store goods (electronics, phones, perfumes, jewelry) while supporting custom programming (e.g., overnight delivery) and modern communications to alarm receiving centers. acre security provided the SPC modular alarm system (SPC full-IP platform) to meet these requirements.

acre security deployed SPC across Coop sites together with PDM infrared detectors, seismic and glass-break detectors, and magnetic contacts, delivering cause-and-effect programming, self-monitoring and easy integration with fog systems, building systems and in-house alarm receiving stations. The solution simplified maintenance and staff training across Coop’s 2,200+ shops, improved alarm detection and reliability, and had a positive impact on operational costs while satisfying Coop’s custom security needs.
