Pushout theft—where organized retail crime (ORC) rings fill a cart with high-value goods and walk directly out of the store without paying—is one of the fastest-growing theft categories. SmartCartLock prevents this via intelligent checkout matching.
How We Block Pushouts
Our system integrates with the POS checkout lines. If a shopping cart attempts to exit the store perimeter without a matching payment transaction logged within the last few minutes, the smart security alarm is triggered and the exit release is blocked.
Key Prevention Features:
- POS Integration: Real-time syncing with cash registers.
- Frictionless for Buyers: Paying customers exit smoothly without any delays.
- Staff Safety: Stops the cart automatically, eliminating the need for staff confrontation.
