Case Study: two major UK grocers reduce trolley push-out theft with Gatekeeper Systems

Two Major UK Grocers cut trolley push-out losses by 49% with Gatekeeper Systems

Gatekeeper Systems worked with two major UK grocers to address a significant challenge with trolley push-out thefts, a form of theft where stolen goods are wheeled out of stores using shopping trolleys. This type of crime was a major contributor to unknown stock loss, costing individual high-risk stores tens of thousands of pounds annually.

The solution implemented was Gatekeeper Systems' Purchek trolley wheel-locking technology. Following installation, the grocers saw a dramatic average reduction in both the number of incidents (49%) and the weekly value of losses (47%). Gatekeeper Systems' intervention provided an excellent return on investment, with a model showing a payback period of just over one year and a 70% internal rate of return for a typical store.
