The tablets and phones at your checkout are valuable and within reach of customers and staff all day. GRiPZO secures them with mechanical mounts. The device stays locked in place during use, and staff release it with a key in seconds when they need it elsewhere.
Theft comes from outside and inside
According to the National Retail Federation (National Retail Security Survey 2023), US retailers lost an estimated $112.1 billion to shrink in 2022. Retailers in that survey attributed about 36% of shrink to external theft and about 29% to internal theft. These are US figures from 2022 and cover all retail, but they show that both customers and employees play a role.
At the checkout, this can mean a customer who grabs a tablet while staff are busy, or a device that disappears after closing time. In both cases, the device was easy to take.
Why software alone is not enough
Modern POS systems offer user rights, audit trails and transaction reports. These are important for spotting suspicious patterns. But software cannot keep the tablet or phone on the counter. That requires a physical measure.
How a mechanical mount helps
A GRiPZO mount holds the tablet or phone with adjustable steel grips and a mechanical lock. Removing the device without the key takes time, force and attention. That removes the easy opportunity, both for customers and for staff.
A visible, sturdy mount also makes an attempt less attractive. No mount can stop every theft attempt, but it helps lower the risk.
Because the system is fully mechanical, there are no alarms, batteries or cables involved. Staff release the device in seconds when they need it elsewhere or want to store it at night. See our tablet mounts and smartphone mounts.
Frequently asked questions
Why focus on physical security when everything is digital?
Digital tools protect your data, but not the device itself. A physical mount keeps the tablet or phone where it belongs.
Can a mount stop a determined thief?
No solution can promise that. A sturdy mount makes taking the device slower and more visible, which makes an attempt less attractive.
Does a mount affect how customers use the device?
No. Customers and staff use the screen as normal while the device stays secured.
