ITAB Group (ITAB) delivers loss prevention solutions in a large-scale roll-out program for one of Australia’s largest grocery chains. Initially the program covers system installations in some 650 stores, but with the aim of extending to over 800 stores. The installed value of the initial phase will be approximately EUR 25 million for the Group, with additional annual license fees for the ongoing data and software services.

The implementation has started and is planned to be finalized by the end of 2024. Loss prevention offerings for the retail sector is a core part of the ITAB portfolio, and demand for the Group’s innovative and unique solutions from retailers world-wide is increasing. The current loss prevention installations from ITAB in the Australian chain’s stores consist of entrance gate solutions.

These are now complemented by checkout exit flow solutions. The project covers store-by-store optimized exit gate solutions, for both manned and self-service checkouts, powered by ITAB’s patented Sesame sensor system. This system enables the tracking of customers to validate that they have made valid payment before allowing frictionless exits through the various gate solutions.

The installation program is carried out in co-operation with Radford Retail Solutions, ITAB’s local partner in Australia.
