In today’s retail world, the growing threats of in-store violence and theft demand both innovation and efficiency. At Gatekeeper Systems, we believe retailers must double down on using complementary technology solutions together as force multipliers that make the most of limited LP budgets and personnel.

Earlier this year, we acquired FaceFirst, the industry-leading face matching software that helps retailers prevent loss and enhance store safety and security. Now we’re bringing together FaceFirst’s real-time AI face matching platform and Gatekeeper Systems’ Purchek® technology and investigative services in a coordinated effort to deliver even greater value.

The Purchek pushout theft prevention solution acts as a core technology for an integrated set of managed services and advanced intelligence solutions to improve operations.

If a cart attempts to exit the store without proper authorization from a point-of-sale location, the Purchek system automatically disables the cart, sounds an alarm, and triggers a video of the event. The Purchek solution also supports egress cameras that record high-resolution video, which can be reviewed by Gatekeeper Systems’ Theft Intelligence Services to confirm attempted pushout events. The videos can provide enrollment-ready images from those confirmed events for enrollment in the retailer’s proprietary face matching database.

FaceFirst is trusted in leading grocery, home improvement, luxury apparel, and discount department stores. The addition of this proven face matching solution that provides active threat management and actionable intelligence amplifies the impact of stopping an attempted pushout theft at your door.

These complementary Gatekeeper solutions help retailers stop an attempted pushout theft at their door, quickly identify repeat offenders, build better cases faster, and protect their people and profits more proactively than ever before.
