Chirp Protect is a next-generation retail security company that helps retailers protect their most vulnerable products and reduce losses.

The intelligent tagging system is more than a deterrent - it’s a smarter way to prevent theft. Tags provide early warning when items are tampered with and trigger post-exit alarms if products leave the store, giving retailers visibility at every stage.

Beyond protection, Chirp tags can sync with in-store systems such as audio alerts and time-stamped CCTV, creating a connected layer of intelligence. This enables retailers to respond quickly, protect profits, and deliver a safe, seamless shopping experience.

Since installing Chirp Protect, theft of tagged items has dropped to zero. Installation was smooth, staff training simple, and the system now deters theft while letting us fully stock shelves.
Ben Lawrence, Lawrence Garages
Chirp has given us another level of protection for higher-value goods that our conventional security tagging system did not provide. Its alarm when tags are tampered with in-store has already prevented multiple high-value thefts.
Patrick Fairweather, Fairweathers Garden Centre
Since introducing Chirp Protect, would-be thieves don’t even attempt to steal high value items. The system has restored our confidence. Staff feel safer and more in control, and I can finally fully stock the shelves without worrying about losses. It’s made a significant difference to how we operate.
David (Team Leader), Morrisons Daily Tonbridge
 

Why Speak to Chirp Protect About Your Store Security?

We exist to help independent retailers protect their profits, reduce stress for staff, and keep customers safe. With theft on the rise, our smart security solutions give you the freedom to focus on running your business — confident that your most valuable products are protected.

1. Ask the Experts

With over 20 years of experience in retail and supply chain, we understand the pressures independent retailers face. Our team works directly with you to identify your highest-risk products, install protection quickly, and provide training so your staff feel confident from day one.

2. Focus on What Matters

Our approach isn’t about tagging everything on the shelf. We help you apply the 80/20 rule — protecting the small number of products that account for most of your losses. This means targeted protection, less disruption, and rapid results.

3. Save Time and Reduce Stress

Traditional systems often leave staff chasing CCTV, investigating shrink, or dealing with false alarms. Chirp Protect is different. Our self-alarming, anti-tamper tags deter theft at the shelf, cutting incidents and freeing your team to focus on serving customers.

4. Independent, Innovative Solutions

We’re not tied to old technology. Chirp Protect offers the most robust, magnet-proof tags on the market, with connectivity to staff headsets and CCTV systems for real-time alerts. Our independence means we design solutions that genuinely work for you, not just the system manufacturer.

Deterring Theft Protects Your Staff

Retail crime is rising, and many independents have now adopted a non-confrontation policy to keep colleagues safe. But traditional security tags only sound at the door — too late to prevent loss, and too often leaving staff feeling powerless.

Chirp Protect works differently. Our anti-tamper tags trigger an alarm the moment they are cut, loosened or interfered with. This brings instant attention to the theft attempt, acting as the “voice” of your staff without them ever having to step in.

By exposing shoplifters at the point of attempt, our system changes behaviour. Thieves don’t want attention — most abandon the theft and move on. In practice, this means:

  • Fewer theft incidents escalating into confrontation.
  • Reduced risk to staff and a safer working environment.
  • Improved colleague confidence, knowing the system supports them.

As offenders are forced to look for easier targets elsewhere, your store becomes a harder place to steal from, delivering a positive improvement for both staff and business.

Improving ROI Across Other Loss Prevention Investments

Chirp Protect is more than just a security tag — it’s a smart, connected system. Unlike traditional EAS, our Intelligent ITS Box communicates directly with each tag, delivering a louder alarm to deter theft immediately.

But the benefits don’t stop there. The ITS Box can also be integrated with:

  • CCTV systems – automatically trigger a time-stamp at the point of theft, making it easier to populate facial recognition databases and quickly locate footage for reporting.
  • Staff headsets or radios – alert colleagues in real-time so that they can respond or monitor the situation safely.
  • Warning lights or speakers – further deters offenders and signals that the store is protected.

This connectivity enhances the effectiveness of existing security investments, reduces time spent chasing incidents, and improves operational efficiency. By acting as a force multiplier for your other systems, Chirp Protect not only protects stock but also delivers measurable ROI, helping you get more value from every loss prevention initiative.

Versatile Security for Your Store

At Chirp, we understand that every store is unique — there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to theft prevention. That’s why we take the time to listen to your challenges and design a system that works for your environment.

Whether it’s a specific high-value item, a problem area where tags are frequently removed, or unprotected exit routes such as restaurants or pathways to the car park, we can create a tailored solution:

  • Edge Versatile System – establish a fixed perimeter around your store for robust protection.
  • Zonal alarm areas – define specific zones that trigger alarms if products leave without authorisation.
  • Tag-only solutions – integrate our self-alarming tags with your existing EAS antennas, requiring investment only in the tags and deactivators.

Retailers are increasingly turning to Chirp Protect to solve complex theft challenges, reduce losses, and protect staff and customers alike — all with a solution that fits their store, rather than forcing the store to fit the system.
