New GPS Tracking Solution Offers Protection For Retail Establishments Handling Pharmaceuticals And Electronics, Specifically Smartphones

New smaller, more flexible device enables improved tracking and greater concealment opportunities

Pharmacies, electronics stores, game stores - virtually every retail location is facing ever-escalating crime statistics...and criminals are getting more sophisticated every day. To help retail establishments combat this crime wave, 3SI Security Systems is pleased to introduce the  NextGen3 Electronic Satellite Pursuit (ESP) GPS tracking solution. This innovative system's global platform leverages multiple security and tracking applications and will deliver impressive apprehension (up to 70% of cases) and asset return (more than 87%) rates. 

By incorporating smart technology, the devices offer wide flexibility in deployment and improved data storage and organization. The Phone Tracker, used to target smartphone thefts, and the PharmaTracker, which focuses on thefts of pharmaceuticals, offer a compact profile which makes them easier to conceal from criminals.

Other key features of the new product include

• Motion trigger for reliable device activation;
• Greater RF range - makes apprehension of criminals easier as it pinpoints the location of the tracking device at a longer range;
• Improved data storage - automatically retrieved if cell connection is lost, improving reliability of tracking and increasing the likelihood of recovering the stolen items;
• Self test health check and maintenance improvements - deliver greater reliability / availability.

Mary Pifer, Vice President, International Marketing & Product Management at 3SI, said "The increase in demand for products to help our retail customers foil criminals has increased remarkably. Our PharmaTracker and Phone Tracker devices use cutting-edge design and technology and substantially increase the chances of catching thieves and successfully recovering the store's assets. 

We partnered with our retail clients to listen to what they wanted - and the NextGen3 products answer these needs: flexible in application, easy to conceal, and a proven success record." 

Retail organizations also use 3SI's NextGen3 Cash Tracker devices, released earlier this year, which can be deployed to catch thieves targeting cash registers and safes. Further products, specifically designed to meet the requirements of the ATM, Jewelry, and Law Enforcement industries, will be rolled out later this year.
