Industrial Security Solutions (ISS) has been the industry leader in custom EAS solutions for over twenty years, creating one-of-a-kind solutions for retail’s toughest shrink problems. Whether it be a high-shrink item with solutions that no longer perform or a hot new item with no solution that is flying off the shelves in quite the wrong way, ISS can help.
What Does it Mean to Be an ISS Partner?
First and foremost, it means you have someone who will listen to you. We don’t push a set catalog of the same old solutions. Of course, we have those, but we want to know exactly what you need. If the solution to your specific shrink issue does not exist, we are going to invent it.
No need to worry; custom solutions with ISS aren’t a long, drawn-out process. In fact, our process of design, prototype, test, and deploy is now down to as little as four months! That is what over twenty years of specialized industry experience will get you.
Are you ready for the best part? Once we create your solution, it is going to be in stock when you need it, and it is going to stay in stock. Part of ISS’ philosophy of listening intently includes regular meetings with our partners to plan and forecast, and we take those very seriously. If you tell us you will need something, it will be there waiting for you when you need it. Sadly, this is no longer the industry standard.
Two More Patents Secured in 2023!
Keeping with tradition, ISS is happy to announce two new patents added to the lineup last year. Both are the result of listening closely to LP professionals who need more than they are getting from their current providers. We listen to the grumbles at the tradeshows, the sighs of disappointment at seeing the same old solutions, and we hear opportunities to improve and innovate—opportunities to make your work easier!
Introducing the Retractable Stingray
Box wraps are great and have long been a staple of EAS rosters for major retailers and boutique stores alike. They provide an enhanced level of security for high price point items that cannot be secured with a traditional tag and pin combo. Even better, they keep those items on the shelves easily accessible for customers to inspect, also avoiding the need for a revamp of the planogram to accommodate locked glass cabinets. As it always goes, times change, and so do the issues facing LP professionals.
ISS recently had a conversation with a partner who was struggling with box wraps being defeated after they were taken to secluded areas within various stores. ORC grab and runs were on the rise as well. There wasn’t enough money in the budget to roll out locked cabinets, so they had resorted to securing the box wraps to store shelving with the addition of a cable lock—a two-part solution that was both frustrating and, in our opinion, solvable in a more affordable fashion.
So, the Retractable Stingray was born, a patented all-in-one box wrap and retractable cable lock solution. The Stingray will be familiar to any professional who has used either of the separate solutions combined within its innovative and affordable package. Where the Stingray really shines is in its flexibility, allowing professionals to apply it in a variety of creative ways.
The box wrap design allows the Stingray to be applied to the box in any direction, providing the ability to secure the item to an anchor point above, below, behind, or on either side. Stingrays may also be chained together, creating security where there is no available fixture to be used as an anchor. The retractable cable allows for the item to be secured loosely or tightly depending on your needs for that particular item.
The Stingray can also be manufactured in any size, length, or with any custom branding desired.
Of Course, We Made a Slide Tag! Why Wouldn’t We?
Slides have historically been a difficult item to secure. An exhausting balancing act of weighing cost, convenience, and damage to the item usually leaves these sometimes pricey items unsecured. Well, all it took was for someone to contact ISS to ask for it, and now here it is!
The reusable, affordable, and easy‑to‑use
tag features ink as an added deterrent. But that’s not all! Its swinging arm design makes it exceptionally quick to apply and remove. It also allows the customer to try on the shoe for fit and fashion without the worry of a trip hazard created by cabled solutions. And did we mention it was pinless?
Just like the motivation behind the patented design of the Spur Tag, the Slide Tag leaves the shoe damage-free after removal, making it the perfect fit for high-end footwear. There is no pin, meaning less pieces in your stockroom and less worry for your customers.
Improving Existing Solutions: The Concealed Pinless Tag
Sometimes, there is a solution that just needs a little improvement. We do that too!
The concealed pinless tag has been all the rage over the last few years. It’s a godsend for those looking to reduce labor and save time at checkout. We understood there was room for improvement, though, and that’s why we upgraded the security and performance of our Concealed Pinless Tag.
Not only does it come with the option to add ink for additional deterrence, but we also improved the internal mechanisms over others on the market. Tests have shown that these improvements make the ISS Concealed Pinless Tag more difficult to defeat than its competition.
Like most of our all-star lineup, it comes in a variety of options and colors to fit your needs perfectly.
