Founded in 1998, Gatekeeper Systems has built a global reputation for innovation in retail safety and asset protection. The company’s patented technologies help retailers reduce theft, improve store safety and enhance operational efficiency across large retail networks.

Its integrated solutions combine hardware, software and data insights to help retailers better understand theft behaviour, improve safety and optimise store operations.

Smart Solutions for Modern Retail

At Retail Show Australia 2026, Gatekeeper Systems will present several of its key retail security solutions designed to address some of the industry’s most pressing operational challenges.

• Purchek® is a push-out theft prevention system that creates an invisible barrier at store exits to stop unpaid trolley push-outs without the need for physical gates or confrontation. The system helps reduce theft while improving staff safety.

• FaceFirst® is a real-time facial matching platform that alerts retailers when known high-risk or repeat offenders enter a store, enabling staff to respond more safely and proactively.

• CartControl® uses smart wheel-locking technology and boundary detection to prevent shopping trolleys from leaving store premises, reducing trolley loss and retrieval costs.

• CartManager® is a motorised trolley management solution designed to improve operational efficiency while reducing the risk of injuries associated with manually moving large trolley stacks.

Global Impact Across Retail Networks

Gatekeeper Systems’ technologies are currently deployed in over 25,000 stores across 58 countries, helping retailers improve safety, reduce shrinkage and enhance operational performance.

Solutions such as Purchek have been shown to reduce push-out theft attempts by up to 80%, while complementary systems such as FaceFirst, CartControl and CartManager provide retailers with a comprehensive approach to store safety and loss prevention.
