Retailers test new shrink management system

THOROFARE, N.J. CVS, Kohl's, Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" US are among the retailers testing a new shrink management program from Checkpoint Systems, a manufacturer and marketer of identification, tracking, security and merchandising solutions for the retail industry and its supply chain.

According to Checkpoint, retailers are testing its new Evolve shrink management technology, which was introduced earlier this year. The Evolve system features improved Radio Frequency (RF) tag detection, Smart Alarm Management (SAM) to improve system integrity, and a Software Defined Radio (SDR) that can support multiple EAS and RFID tag frequencies, the company said.
