Our Solution

This is how Chirp Protect is able to help solve these challenges in the DIY and Hardware industry

High Value Theft

Power tools, batteries and accessories are attractive targets for thieves due to their high value, compact size and strong resale demand. Chirp Tags provide a visible deterrent while protecting products without restricting customer access.

Chirp Tags

Lost Sales

Customers want to pick up, compare and test products before buying. Unlike locked cabinets or tethered displays, Chirp allows shoppers to interact with products freely while keeping high-value items protected.

Costly Security Measures

Unlike traditional bulky floor-mounted EAS antennas, Chirp Protect is a cost-effective solution when only a small number of high-risk items need protecting. Our discreet plug-and-play hubs can be positioned exactly where protection is needed.

Late Theft Detection

Traditional security often only alerts staff when a product reaches the exit. Chirp Edge allows retailers to protect specific aisles or areas, detecting unauthorised movement earlier in the theft journey.
