Forecourts

By offering a comprehensive protection system tailored to high-risk categories, Chirp Protect safeguards key product lines without disrupting the customer experience. Whether it's through discreet deterrence or real-time alerts, Chirp Protect empowers retailers to reduce losses, protect profits, and maintain a secure, trusted shopping environment.

Cost-effective Solution

Our system is cost-effective, particularly when protecting a low quantity of goods. Our convenience store customers trust Chirp Protect to safeguard alcohol, meat and cheeses, detergents and baby formula.

Tamper-proof Technology

Our Tags will still alarm if cut or forcefully removed from the product, highlighting theft attempts immediately and acting as an early warning system.

Instant Theft Pinpointing

Our ITS Box is a clever optional extra that can amplify the sound of an alarming tag - perfect for busier and bigger stores.

Additionally, when it hears the sound of an alarming Chirp Protect tag, the box can trigger an external device such as CCTV, facial recognition systems and staff headsets to notify of theft attempts in real-time
