How To Start EAS Implementation
                     How To Start EAS
Implementation
By Danway Emirates LLC
Introduction
• How do we start?" is the last question any store owner who is thinking about using 
EAS to stop shoplifting should ask. Find out the 5 easy steps
• You must be a pilot. If the solution is tested in a small number of stores with a small 
number of carefully chosen products, the retailer can learn a lot about how the 
solution might be used and how much money it could make when it is fully put into 
place.
• Even though it's not a full rollout, a pilot can seem like a big job for a store that 
doesn't know much about how EAS deployment works. Danway has five easy steps to 
help because of this:
1. Pick out the right stores to test.
When picking stores to test in, it's easy to be tempted to pick ones with a lot of 
shoplifting and loss. This will probably give the best results and make the best 
case for a full rollout. On the other hand, Checkpoint suggests picking five 
different stores to show the whole risk profile. This gives retailers a fuller picture 
of how EAS really affects them.
Danway has found out that using only high-risk, high-loss stores in an EAS pilot is 
bad in another important way. Most of the time, these stores have the busiest 
management teams, the most stressful places to work, and the most employees 
who leave. You can't say enough about how important it is for store management 
to be involved.
 2.   Choose protective products carefully
Retailers should choose products that are inflicting the most financial anguish. 
Selection should ensure the pilot's success, not hinder it. Start with simple 
products and add more complicated ones following success.
Accurate and up-to-date data on product losses is vital. If a shop doesn't know 
how much of a product is lost each month, piloting it is futile because they can't 
tell if the remedy is working. The pilot should be simple.
       3. In-store management participation.
EAS requires human interaction, like many other technologies. EAS is a 
deterrent that requires management support. When deciding which stores to 
pilot in (step 1), prefer stores with staff actively enhancing the shopping 
experience for honest customers.
As part of the pilot, they will be asked to undertake additional jobs, be patient 
with minor disruptions, and spend time to monitoring, management, and 
feedback. Pilots have failed because retail staff lacked enthusiasm and energy.
                    4. Measurements and timing
We recommend 3 to 6 months for an EAS pilot, and monthly shrinkage measures 
based on actual product SKU counts versus sales will be required.
No operational or merchandising modifications should be made now. Changing a 
pilot store's layout or merchandise placement may affect the EAS's effectiveness. 
Changes to personal information storage or the inclusion of new Loss Prevention 
measures beyond the EAS installation, such as a Contract Guard, could further 
cast doubt on the pilot results. Only the EAS installation should be added to the 
store during the pilot.
After a measurement period, some clients expand the range of products 
protected in test stores to assess RF protection. All of this adds to the overall ROI, 
but should only be done once good baseline data on the initial set of protected 
products is acquired and confirmed.
    5. Problem-solving feedback
The retailer should provide constructive, encouraging feedback on the trial process. 
Some initial unfavorable concerns with EAS system installation are common with 
new technology. Product labeling may seem laborious to the store workers because 
it's new.
Sharing and tackling these concerns is key to garnering overall support. Danway 
Emirates LLC has hundreds of store installation experiences and can fix concerns if 
feedback is shared.
