ADT Security Services To Provide Loss Prevention For K&G Fashion Superstores

  • Jan 28, 2010

K&G Fashion Superstore, a subsidiary of The Men’s Wearhouse Inc. in the United States and an affiliate of Moore’s Clothing for Men in Canada, has selected ADT Security Services to provide loss prevention and security solutions for all of its 107 stores across the nation. The retailer is replacing existing anti-theft systems with ADT’s Sensormatic anti-theft solutions to help protect merchandise and limit losses due to shoplifting and theft.

K&G Fashion Superstore will install ADT’s Sensormatic Ultra Max EAS anti-theft pedestals at store exits and will use the system’s anti-theft tags and labels on merchandise and products throughout the stores.

The retailer will also benefit from ADT’s industry-leading Sensormatic source-tagging program, where anti-theft tags are put on merchandise at the point of manufacture. More than five billion tags a year are placed on products or in their packaging by product manufacturers as part of the source-tagging program.

The move to the new system was prompted by K&G’s desire to continue to better serve its customers with higher quality brands at discounted prices, according to Frank Serra, director of loss prevention.

“It is important for us to provide our customers with quality merchandise, value for their dollar and a first-rate shopping experience,” Serra said. “To do that we need to use the best technology solutions available to protect our products while allowing them to be openly displayed and available for purchase at the lowest possible price.”

At selected K&G stores, cameras and digital recorders will be integrated into the loss prevention and security solutions. Some stores will also include public view monitors -- video screens placed in key locations that are a visual reminder to potential retail criminals they are being monitored.

ADT has provided K&G with burglar and fire alarm services for a number of years and is now expanding the relationship to include additional security as well as loss prevention services, according to Jeff Bean, vice president of retail sales and operations for ADT.

“Good loss prevention technology can more than pay for itself in reduced losses, increased profits and customer satisfaction,” Bean said. “Good security is simply good business.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
