The farm park faced challenges with ensuring their security system was both effective and minimally disruptive to their busy operations. They needed a solution that could cover two shop exits, provide various options for different types of merchandise and be installed without causing disruptions during peak hours.
CSS recommended the Ultra 1.8m ABS Pedestal System from Sensormatic, known for its affordability and reliable anti-theft capabilities.

This modern and durable system offers a visual deterrent against theft, with a design that blends into the retail environment.

The CSS team also suggested a mix of retail tagging such as hard tags, lanyards and sticky labels to provide comprehensive protection for all types of merchandise.

Paul from CSS visited the site to assess the situation firsthand. He demonstrated the Sensormatic system, ensuring it met the specific needs of Heads of Ayr Farm Park. The installation was meticulously planned to avoid disrupting the farm park’s operations, with an early 7am access time arranged to minimise shop traffic.
