Premium Boutique Retailer Opens 4th Store in Manchester
Our long-standing client, a premium denim boutique retailer, recently launched their fourth store in Manchester. Known for their high-value merchandise, including luxury denim jeans and fashionwear, the client required an effective yet space-efficient Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) solution to deter shoplifters and protect their profits.
Having successfully installed AM security systems in the retailer’s previous three locations, Tagmax was once again chosen to deliver a reliable, discreet and professional solution.
Customer Requirements
Due to the boutique’s compact layout, the retailer needed a visible but space-saving tagging solution. It was essential that the EAS system maintained the high-end aesthetics of the store while clearly signalling security presence to deter theft.
Specifically, the client requested:
- A visible AM-based security pedestal to act as a deterrent
- Discreet installation to preserve floor space and visual appeal
- Protection focused on high-value items, such as premium denim jeans
- Minimal disruption during installation
Tagmax Solution: X Clear Pedestal Behind Door Swing
After a site consultation, our team recommended the X Clear AM pedestal, installed strategically behind the door swing. This placement offered a smart balance between store aesthetics and theft deterrence, keeping the unit out of direct sightlines while still functioning effectively.
Given the constraints, we advised the client to expect a coverage zone of approximately 1.2 metres, which was ideal for the store’s entrance size and allowed for single-panel operation.
Key Installation Highlights
- System Installed: X Clear AM pedestal
- Positioning: Discreetly behind door swing
- Power Supply: Located beside pedestal – no major cable runs required
- Coverage: Approx. 1.2m – suitable for single door entry
- Finish: Clean, professional installation
- On-site Coordination: Worked closely with store staff to ensure minimal disruption
