Pick your store type and adjust revenue and loss rate to instantly see how much you lose each year, how much an anti-theft system can save, and how fast it pays for itself.
Remaining loss mostly comes from damage, internal theft or counting errors, which gates cannot fully prevent.
Soft tags are single-use and must be reordered. Example: a large apparel store ordering 3 times a year at about 100,000 tags each uses 300,000 tags a year.
Hard tags are reusable, so you only pay once with no ongoing tag orders. The cost is added to the equipment investment for payback.
Cumulative loss over one year, without and with an anti-theft system.

Reduction rates are based on Gold-Pick field experience: EAS gates plus security tags together reduce theft by 80%–90%; the remainder is mostly damage, internal theft or counting errors. Payback is conservatively calculated at 80%. This estimate is for reference only; actual results depend on store type, merchandise and site conditions.
