How Does a Sensormatic SmartEAS System Work?
SmartEAS solutions offer a breakthrough in loss prevention and store operations, by allowing retailers to link and collect
vital information from the retail devices throughout their stores. Saving time and reducing operational costs, SmartEAS
solutions automate many of the functions required to collect, analyze, and report data.
The
SmartEAS concept has four components:
1. Collect valuable business intelligence data from store-level events in a centralized location.
2.
Analyze all collected data extracting key performance measures defined by retailers to help them more
effectively run their businesses.
3.
Report results of data analysis through exception-based reports that pinpoint high-risk or suspicious
occurrences and make it easier for retailers to take immediate action.
4. Manage problems and inefficiencies better, setting goals for store managers and sales staff as well as
protecting profits through optimized EAS system operation.
Primary applications of our
Sensormatic SmartEAS product line include EAS alarm management, digital video integration
and people-counting. Each of these applications is tied into the retailer’s IT network and sends data collected to
headquarters for mining and reporting using exception-based reporting package. By combining these applications
company-wide, retailers can further reduce external shrink, improve operational efficiencies, and automate EAS
maintenance and service through diagnostic capabilities. This also means that valuable POS and video data can be
merged together with EAS and people counting data, giving retailers comprehensive insight into the performance of
their stores.
IT Benefits
Our Sensormatic UltraLink™ SmartEAS system connects directly to the retailer’s network, which reduces
implementation costs by eliminating the need for extra modems, phone lines and separate networks.
With the UltraLink SmartEAS system, retailers have several network communication options including wired and DHCP
or fixed IP addressing. Data can be sent to corporate headquarters in real-time or polled at the retailer’s discretion to
ease any network traffic concerns.
We also provide a data transport and collection software that resides at corporate headquarters. This software collects
data from all
UltraLink units located at each store and across stores, maintains a database of that information, and
transfers it to the retailer’s reporting package. By providing all these components required for this application’s
implementation, our Smar
tEAS system ef
fectively minimizes the IT ef
for
t needed for implementation.
