Source tagging is the process of applying security labels at the point of manufacture. Rather than waiting for the products to arrive at the shop or distribution center before they can be labeled, tagging them at the source ensures that there are no gaps in supply chain visibility.

It allows merchandise to arrive safely and prepared for the sales floor, facilitating open merchandising and increasing throughput at the point of sale.

A data-driven merchandise protection program that aims to improve the effectiveness of retail source tagging initiatives. Retailers may optimize their Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tagging technique with expert monitoring, resulting in greater sales, shrink reduction, and enhanced store labor efficiency.

This tool uses a methodical analysis of retailer data to uncover shrinking trends across departments, categories, vendors, and UPCs. By comparing results to existing item protection strategies, high-shrink products are identified for tagging, resulting in optimal placement and supplier engagement.

Enhanced Shopping Experience

Allows theft-prone items to be openly merchandised and accessible. Frees associates to assist consumers rather than tagging items. Increases throughput at the POS through consistent and correct label positioning.

Improved Profitability

Increases velocity of items to selling floor. Maximizes the commercial effectiveness of theft-prone goods. EAS labels are placed inside packaging, which prevents the hiding of brands or critical product information
