Combatting internal theft

COMBATTING INTERNAL THEFT

Officially recognized but difficult to combat, internal theft (or internal leaks) constitute a phenomenon of concern for distributors who lack an efficient solution for combatting this observable financial loss.

In response to this fact, Exaqtworld requested its R&D department to engineer and design a reliable solution that makes it possibly to address the fraudulent manipulations of its malicious staff.

The proven foresight of Exaqtworld in this case has now resulted in an ingenious solution to eradicate this phenomenon. This is the Duraltag solution, combined with Smart Detacher technology, which prevents store staff (unless they have particular, identified authorization) from deactivating the Duraltag anti-theft device if the article has not been physically paid for.
