RTF... Transforming Vision

RTF changes the Retail Display Security Industry again

2011-12-01T07:25:00.001-05:00

Over the course of 15 years RTF has separated itself from the competition leading our industry in key initiatives.

In 1997 RTF patented the first modular connector, detachable sensor that made merchandising easier reducing overall costs for the retailer. The year 2001 RTF introduced the first universal, mechanical locking claw and still to date supplies this iconic part that is reaching one million units sold. 2007 was the year of alarmCharge where a hybrid approach of electronic and mechanical display security still provides the best value, most attractive loss prevention solution.

Today, December 1st, 2011 it will all change again... significantly. Since November 2010 RTF has been developing technology that will simplify and strengthen in store security of Smartphone and Tablets.

The team at RTF is very proud to introduce the future in device security ... appSiren. appSiren is an application loaded to a Super phone or Tablet that becomes the alarm and renders the device useless without the proper password.

Today Smartphone theft is ridiculous and brazen thieves are stealing devices at an alarming rate but it is time to deny the benefit and to lock the Smartphone so thieves cannot sell these stolen devices on the street illegally.

Also appSiren alerts staff or head office of the theft via SMS or email and appropriately uses the on board camera to send photos of the environment.

appSiren is available for download today at the Android market and simply search appSiren.

Applications for Apple, Blackberry and Microsoft will be available in the first quarter of 2012.

For any questions regarding this amazing, new technology please contact our President - Bill Dandie

Virgin Mobile relies on RTF for Smartphone and Tablet Display Security

2011-11-24T16:14:00.001-05:00

Apple iPhone 4S

In Canada the quickly recognizable brand, Virgin Mobile is owned by the telecom giant Bell. RTF's history dates back to 1997 when RTF designed an innovative loss prevention system for Bell.

At that time store anti - theft systems where big, bulking and employed zip ties to lock the sensor down on the cell phone. RTF's introduction in to the shoplifting prevention industry started with a small and appealing recoiler and a flexible sensor that detached from the retractable tether and was the first of its kind.

This patented technology set the standard for the retail display security industry and to this day was the first company to incorporate a detachable sensor.

Samsung Galaxy Tablet

RTF's growth has been strong since the alarm Charge system in 2008 and now works with some of the most prestigious wireless carriers worldwide providing secure displays, charge, alarm and digital media via its lift+Touch technology.

RTF's sales doubled in 2011 and sets its sights on being #1 by 2014.

Its success is attributed to delivering what global customers demand which is a mechanical and electronic alarm system that at any time be locked virtually eliminating shop loss.

Currently RTF supplies its patent pending alarm Charge system to secure and attractively display and power the Apple iPhone 4 S and the Samsung Galaxy Tablet at Virgin Mobile all across Canada.

Smarter Software means less False Alarms in Retail Stores

2011-10-18T19:05:00.000-04:00

By Bill Dandie

Sydney, Australia

False alarms not only desensitize staff to the intent of the electronic line alarms; to alert store employees of shoplifting, but customers also are seriously inconvenienced.

It's hard to enter a Best Buy in Canada, the Carphone Warehouse in the UK or a Dick Smiths in Australia and not hear multiple merchandise alarms echoing while you shop.

The sound of these annoying beeps are mostly caused by honest customers simply lifting displayed Smartphones and Tablets only to be surprised by an alarming sound. On occasion this has happened to me and I look at everyone around me pleading my innocence.

Recently a RTF employee brought his 6 year old son to a neighborhood store and explained what Daddy does at work. The electronics shop had competitor's equipment and he describes "Daddy sells sensors that attach to products on display and if a theft is attempted, the alarms sounds". My friend picks up the closest display, setting off the alarm and his 6 year old cries out "Daddy are you stealing it"!!!!

This is a serious issue in our industry not only because store employees have no faith in the annoyance but customers are negatively affected by the overall store experience.

Throughout the last 14 years RTF has introduced technologies to reduce false alarms and intends by 2014 to reach a 0% false alarm and a 100% customer and employee satisfaction rating.

We are moving quickly towards the goal and one of our current innovations has incorporated a "spinning head" to alleviate any cable strain in the recoiler therefore greatly increasing its life. Also we will introducing smart Alarming in early 2012 that will use intelligent firmware to manage false alarms.

Our intent is to reduce all the noise and increase the customer experience while giving the store staff faith again. Watch us... we are transforming vision.

A simple solution to lock down Superphones and stop retail shoplifting

2011-09-22T16:31:00.002-04:00

Picking up Smartphone

RTF has thousands of installations worldwide using the innovative alarm CHARGE retail security system. This effective loss prevention display solution allows the customer to interact with a live, powered Super phone while it's attractively merchandised and secured.

Within the system a recoiler offers full, unencumbered product interaction enhancing the customer buying experience through the ability to lift the Android, Apple or Blackberry to a comfortable position.

Interacting on display

A trend is emerging where customers are content to no longer pick up the mobile phone, but investigate the new Smartphone technology while the device remains seated on display.

RTF has introduced a technique to greatly reduce theft and still provide customers what they want... a live, functioning Smartphone to play with.

Quick connect cable stop

With a simple cable clamp, the end user can bypass the recoiler and easily stop the cable from retracting therefore essentially locking the Smartphone in place.

This flexible solution is trouble-free, doesn't harm the cable and clips on and off in seconds.

All of RTF's satisfied customer base can now choose between the full lift of the recoiler or the lock down advantage.

Cable locked into position by
the clamp

The new locking cable clamp works with our line of electronic and mechanical recoilers, mounts and brackets.

In order to increase security and reduce cable cutting or disconnection this Smartphone locking technique is simple, secure and very cost effective.

Mobile Phone, Smart Phone and now Super Phone Retail Shoplifting Prevention

2011-09-11T13:59:00.002-04:00

Technology circa 1997

By Bill Dandie

Back in 1997 when RTF first offered loss prevention systems to reduce shoplifting in retail stores we developed a solution for Bell Canada. During that period the first digital cell phone was being launched and RTF was entrusted to supply the display security alarm to protect the new cell phone technology while on display.

From that point RTF was born and Bell alongside RTF continue to work closely battling theft in their retail locations across Canada.

Palm Pilot

Shortly after the launch of the new digital technology the PDA [Personal Digital Assistant], notably the Palm Pilot was one of the first digital methods to track our calender and contacts.

Most of us for years carried a cell phone, PDA, camera and a MP3 player...then the Smartphone changed all that.

Smartphones like the iPhone or devices offered by Blackberry, Motorola, LG and Samsung now combine the parts and provide all of our tech needs in the palm of one hand.

Since the arrival of Smartphones, RTF launched a intelligent system - alarm CHARGE. This retail display security system powers the Smartphone and provides a safe, constant charge allowing positive customer interaction in stores.

alarm CHARGE secures the Smart Phone with industry leading pre THEFT technology and smart ALARMING where intuitive software calculates whether the alarm occurrence is a valid theft or a false alarm.

Adding to the alarm CHARGE system, lift TOUCH enhances the customer experience permitting digital media content to be streamed to LCD Monitors aiding in the engagement of users and ultimately the sales conversion.

Samsung Galaxy S II

2011 is the Year of the "Super Phone" ... So what is a Super Phone? Google may have latched onto the term, but the concept of a "superphone" is simply a description of an even smarter smartphone that combines cutting-edge features that mobile phone users and technologists alike want. For example; faster processors, bigger, more clear screens, higher pixel digital cameras and therefore longer lasting batteries.

We have recognized this trend for quite some time and instead of reacting to our clients needs RTF Global and its subsidiaries, such and RTF Europe are prepared to assist worldwide retailers with active solutions to help reduce shoplifting and promote sales in their stores.

Through the RTF Superphone Security Solution, Super phones are securely displayed in a manner that attract customers and sales and deter thieves and theft.

Samsung Galaxy PC Tablets are safe from shoplifting worldwide

2011-08-31T13:42:00.002-04:00

Recent European installation

The Samsung PC Tablet, the Galaxy seems to be the strong second place contender to the Apple iPad.

RTF works with Samsung all around the world helping their resellers safely place fully functional, charged PC Tablets in front of customers.

Theft of expensive Tablets is increasing and RTF has developed a hybrid solution to positively promote the live, powered Tablet while protecting it from shoplifting or theft.

VISE3-X Locking Bracket

The mechanical advantage of the four arm locking claws ensures a strong defensive against "Grab and Run" type thefts.

RTF's mechanically electronic recoiler allows full customer interaction and free range of use so the buying experience is heightened. The strong mechanical nature of the recoiler coupled with the electronic alarm properties of pre THEFT catch thieves before products are stolen.

When the system needs to be set at a higher "DEF-CON" security level RTF's innovative, secure and cost effective solution, liftACT can be implemented quickly. liftACT is a "limited lift" solution that provides free movement of the Smartphone or Tablet. Customers can pick up the consumer electronic and lift it marginally reducing interactivity level slightly while greatly increasing security, longevity and reducing costs.

RTF's loss prevention system now incorporates a lock down option that at anytime the user can fasten the locking claw of the VISE3 into the display fixture. This provides the highest level of Tablet or Smartphone anti-theft protection but reduces the customer experience.

Nearly 30,000 pulls tested with the new RTF Mechanical and Electronic Recoiler

2011-08-28T11:45:00.001-04:00

New, on board Micro USB for direct
plug mechCHARGE

The newly redesigned mechanical and electronic aircraft cable cord minder includes an on board Micro USB charging port, integrated mounting tab and greatly improved durability and longevity.

RTF recently tested the new electronic retractable tether and found the results to indicate a strong increase in the number of pulls over early versions.

Recoilers are installed behind retail store displays and through constant customer interaction recoilers undergo extreme conditions and therefore have a tendency to wear and break down leading to false alarms along with customer and staff frustration.

RTF Recoiler Tester

The engineering team at RTF recently overhauled the recoiler and reviewed the use of longer lasting, highly conductive materials. Our manufacturing team also developed techniques to ensure consistency through the production process resulting in excellent testing data.

Close to 30K pulls

A pull testing machine that trials three recoilers simultaneously was used to determine retracting and returning rates. A track attached to a pneumatic rod provides the simulated environment of a retail store and the initial results are very encouraging. [Watch the youTUBE video of the machine at 20,000 mark].

At the high end, the new recoiler lasted nearly 30,000 cycles and only through a mechanical condition stopped to operate.

By introducing innovative software incorporated in our next generation alarm and charging HUBS the recoilers will last longer as well as cause far less irritation in retail stores for staff and customers.

Also to ensure complete customer satisfaction and value RTF is considering to offer a second replacement cartridge with the purchase of a recoiler. That means the recoiler life will in essence double.

New 12 Degree Lockable
iPhone 4 S Mount

RTF has lead the loss prevention market by launching the alarm Charge system back in late 2008. This advanced, anti-shoplifting system combines both aesthetically pleasing mechanical claw security with leading edge electronic monitoring incorporating the unique pre Theft feature.

RTF can stop a theft before it happens through many innovative elements including a pre Cut siren that alarms when the thief is attempting to cut the aircraft cable.

iPad and Tablet Lock Down Solutions

Back in 2008 RTF was first to market with a hybrid locking claw system that not only securely holds and protects the Smartphone but also charges and alarms the Motorola, Samsung LG, Nokia, Apple and Blackberry device.

Now wireless retailers all around the world will not settle for a anti-theft system that doesn't mechanically and electronically secure expensive consumer electronics.

RTF recently introduced a simple yet effective solution to reduce theft when Smartphones, like the iPhone 4 S are hit by heavy shop loss. Now the retailer can select between the RTF cord winder, fully retractable or a locked solution.

Locks in under 10 seconds

The flexibility to choose is up to the user and the Smartphone or Tablet can be locked into position in under 10 seconds.

If the theft can unlock the Smartphone the redundant security of the electronic tether is the second layer of defense.

This new high risk theft solution to protect Smartphones and Tablets is being used worldwide in some of the most dangerous retail store environments successfully.

RTF Europe moves into new, larger offices

2011-08-19T16:54:00.000-04:00

RTF Europe's Offices

Over the last 4 months since RTF Europe entered the European loss prevention market, its growth has been astounding. Under the guidance of David Smith, RTF Europe is poised to be the leader in retail display security and in turn help European retailers reduce shop loss while increasing sales.

Over the next of couple months, many European wireless retailers will be moving to RTF because its anti-shoplifting systems suits the retailers needs precisely. Our European customers are asking for attractive, mechanical and electronic retail display solutions that have a strong, cut resistant aircraft cable recoiler to ensure Smartphone's such as iPhone 4 and Tablets are perfectly presented and protected from theft and shoplifting.

Not only do wireless retail shops want to have the retail security solutions fully mechanical and electronic, but require the system to be scalable so if retail security needs are heightened, the Smartphone or PC Tablet can be locked down.

RTF Global's unique approach to driving the best and most innovative loss prevention products is based on putting our staff in environments that stimulate creativity and efficiency. The new office just outside of London perfectly mirrors that mind set and with our newest employee Liam Cross, RTF Europe will continue to satisfy and support our European market directly.

The Mobile Shop Markets all of Canada's Wireless Products

2011-07-15T17:30:00.009-04:00

The Mobile Shop Display

Located in Loblaws stores throughout Canada is a display that merchandises Smartphones for all of Canada's wireless retailers such as TELUS, Bell, Rogers, Fido, Virgin, Solo and Public Mobile.

Close to a year ago this retail display landed in stores and today looks like it was recently delivered. The success of the roll out can be attributed to experience, planning and selecting the right team.

ISPA was entrusted to build the display fixtures and through years of knowledge in manufacturing displays for mobile retailers ISPA enlisted RTF to provide the smartphone security.

The system that was implemented has been used worldwide by many wireless retailers to present and secure non working cell phones. The boomerangPAD system uses rare earth magnets to perfectly straighten phones after the customer has interacted with them. Like a boomerang that comes back to the same spot so does the merchandised cellphone.

Smartphones sit perfectly straight

ISPA through years of practice engineered the display to incorporate RTF recoilers in a fashion that guarantees a long life for the recoiler. With a recoiler properly positioned not only is the customer interaction heightened but also the recoiler will last longer without needing to be replaced.

ISPA and RTF continue working in unison to provide complete solutions for Loblaws as well as other retailers.

RTF's iPad 2 and PC Tablet anti-shoplifting system is an extension of years of success displaying and securing Smartphones. The VISE3 system is celebrating over 10 years and with over 750,000 installations across the globe, RTF decided to implement a proven technology.

Built on the solid chassis of the VISE3 platform, RTF's approach to secure a PC Tab is utilize 4 interchangeable arms [VISE3-X] and grip the corners of the Tablet tightly, while allowing unencumbered customer use of the iPad 2 or Tab.

The universality of the VISE3, 2 arm system is legendary and our "one size fits all" Smartphone success hasn't been replicated in our VISE3-X Tablet formula to date.

VISE3-X Over Mold Pad

RTF has introduced a plan where the majority of security components are reused and the 4 VISE3-X arms can be disconnected and replaced.

Due to the speed that new Tablets are brought to market, RTF has revealed an interim strategy that while form fitting arms are produced, customers will have the confidence to display and charge a Tablet using the new VISE3-X Over Mold Pad.

This simple and effective approach provides a high level of display security, quality and interacts with the same mount as the VISE3-X. Using a large surface area of 3M VHB tape, the Over Mold Pad is introduced and utilized until the 4 arms solution can be produced and delivered.

Once the arms arrive, the Over Mold Pad is removed and the new arms installed. This tactic guarantees live, functional, charged Tablets and iPads that are securely merchandised until a time when the full time solution is available.

This is an easy to manage, short term measure that allows live, working Tablets to be displayed resulting in increased customer interaction and sales.

Invisible Tablet Security for Trade Show and Low Risk Environments

2011-06-16T18:09:00.001-04:00

Front

RTF has introduced a retail display security solution to hold and secure a tablet so it virtually looks as if it is floating in air. The ACER tablet as shown in the image, rests on its own base and is tethered to a recoiler by RTF's world famous.......boomerangPAD.

The boomerangPAD provides a tape point and adheres to the tablet using a very high bond 3M two-sided tape.

Back

A secure display is incorporated to position the tablet perfectly and attracts customers enhancing the overall interaction and experience.

Great for trade shows and exhibitions, visitors can lift the tablet to explore the technology and when the PC tablet is returned, the aircraft cable is recoiled back into the pull box and the tablet again, sits perfectly straight.

This attractive and affordable iPad or Tablet display security system is extremely easy to install and only takes a couple of minutes.

Independent recoiler tests show the durability of RTF's design and manufacturing

2011-06-10T15:17:00.002-04:00

DCI Test Equipment

An independent study conducted by DCI to determine the best recoiler for customer use has left RTF leading the list.

Perin Shaw, from DCI in Milwaukee, WI developed an apparatus to test a wide range of recoilers on the market today. A recoiler is a cable management system that retracts aircraft cable onto a spool within a plastic housing. Pull boxes, Tethers, Cord Reels or Retractors, all related names for recoilers typically are used in retail stores to control merchandise and to reduce shoplifting.

These recoilers are pulled by customers many times within a day and a spring ensures that the cable retracts back into the housing.

Some recoilers, especially China based product have a tendency to prematurely failure therefore needing to be replaced and additional cost [Staff Time, Equipment and Shipping].

Through the recent testing Perin found that the RTF recoiler lasted 10X longer than the competition lowering the long term, overall cost.

When longevity, strength and quality are key to your next retail display security project choose RTF to save costs and increase customer satisfaction.

RTF Simplifies its Retail Display Security Product Line

2011-05-17T07:06:00.010-04:00

Scalable, Anti-Shoplifting Products made easy -
By Bill Dandie

In efforts to reduce confusion and help customers understand RTF's full loss prevention solutions, categories have been introduced that allow customers to scale their security charging and display requirements.

Today your store environment maybe safe from shoplifting, but times change and RTF's anti-theft retail system allows the end user to set the DEF-CON level. If a certain Smartphone, such as the iPhone 4 S is the hardest hit and stolen, the RTF system can be escalated to a higher level to defeat the next attempt at theft.

Our current, Scalable Defense retail store security product line is as follows:

mech		Mechanical display security incorporates a series of aircraft cable recoilers, tape pads, end fittings such as boomerangPad or Vise3 to secure consumer electronics with a strong mechanical advantage. These systems are low cost and provide excellent display quality and customer interaction.

mechCharge		Add to the ability above, charging and the Vise3 system now mechanically grabs Smartphones and Tablets with a high level of security, but also charges the device using its own power cable. This mechanical loss prevention system is very cost effective when displaying expensive consumer electronic in low numbers.

alarm		To alert staff to theft before it occurs, RTF introduced pre THEFT. This is a technology that alarms before the merchandise is removed from the display.

alarmCharge		Live, fully functional Smartphones and Tablets attract customers and drive sales. Add charging to your alarm for the greatest customer experience and forget about bringing power cables to your display every night.

liftACT		RTF's new technology allows "limited lift" and therefore greatly increases security because recoilers are not exposed to cutting. The result is a great customer experience along side a stable charging and security system.

lift+Touch		Interactive digital media is key in capturiing the customer's attention and converting sales. To maximize this medium, RTF has added lift + Touch to our entire product line to ensure your digital signage plan can be implemented today or in the future.

secureDisplay		RTF offers a full line of retail display options to promote the displayed merchandise while securing, alarming, charging and lift + Touch enabling through an attractive and affordable fixture.

Same great retail display solutions with a European flare

By Bill Dandie

Paris

A team from RTF Global and RTF Europe spent weeks travelling Europe to ensure the promise of the best loss prevention product, along side of leading support and service can be realized.

While on the European tour, visiting five countries RTF listened and understood customer’s demands. As a result, exciting and industry-changing projects are underway that again, will impact the Retail Display Security market!

RTF is aware of the need to be flexible, listen to our customers and deliver the most innovative solutions to display and secure Smartphones and Tablets in retail shops.

Barcelona

The merchandising and security needs of our North American customers are not always the same as the shoplifting issues in Europe. RTF distinguishes these differences and is focusing on retail security systems that harmonize with our customers in the regions they conduct business.

Barcelona

RTF intends to support local European business communities and utilize area expertise in design and production to ensure loss prevention products meet the customer’s expectations locally.

From an installation and maintenance prospective, RTF is training teams to follow through and support in-store roll outs, as well as establishing maintenance programs to ensure the display security product is running at peak capacity.

RTF's two weeks in Europe allowed our team to focus on being the most flexible, innovative display merchandising and security company, together with supporting our customers locally through RTF's team of trained professionals.

HP Slate is a true PC Tablet at Risk of Shoplifting in Retail Stores

2011-04-25T15:36:00.001-04:00

iPad or PC Tablet?
By Bill Dandie

The New HP Slate feels like a personal computer and actually needs a Stylus to operate its touch screen functionality. During the first night of play I wasn't even aware that a Stylus was required and became frustrated by the unresponsive touch interface.

After the iPad launched in April 2010 it set the stage for responsive touch screen interaction and to regress back to a Stylus left me putting down the HP Slate and picked up my iPad 2

I actually needed to tether the "AAAA" battery operated Stylus to the leather carrying case because the HP Slate doesn't have an on-board slot to accept the Stylus when not in use.

The HP Slate is quite heavy in comparison to the iPad 2 and for an upcoming European trip the iPad 2 and the Motorola Xoom made the short list to accompany me but because I want to travel light the iPad 2 will visit Paris, London, Milan, Barcelona and Athens with me.

Also I have grown accustomed to a Tablet being a Tablet and not a personal computer. There is a reason why PC sales are down and Tablets and iPads way up because I believe people are ready for a change.

When I powered up the Slate and saw the little Microsoft logo I thought it would be running the new Mobile 7 which would have grabbed my attention and allowed me to linger longer with the Slate. But no, it booted up Microsoft 7 and instead of using a cool new Tablet with a new operating system I interacted with a flat PC with a Stylus on a string - not very exciting.

So as a lucky guy, having tech all around me in my Tablet playground my current FAV's are iPad/ iPad2, followed by the Motorola Xoom [Big fan of Google] and just over the weekend I started to play with the new BlackBerry Playbook and at first impression ... I like it.

RTF is designing a solution to protect the HP Slate in retail stores by utilizing our TWO CLAW VISE3 system. This mechanical CLAW will lock to the PC Tab and be electronically secured with a merchandise alarm that alerts staff to theft. With our pre THEFT technology built into ever RTF system before the cable is cut the siren will sound and the theft thwarted.

Currently RTF has loss prevention solutions to help secure and protect the iPad/ iPad 2, Motorola Xoom and the Blackberry Playbook.

mechCHARGE stops false alarms that frustrate customers and discourage staff

2011-03-30T11:40:00.002-04:00

mechCHARGE - a simple, attractive, cost effective system to display, secure and charge consumer electronics.

By Bill Dandie

You may have experienced this - enter a retail store, walk up to a displayed Smartphone, iPhone or Tablet and pick it up. The alarm goes off and everyones head in the store turns to you - your face turns red and you leave the retailer with and negative impression, embarrassed and feeling like a common criminal.

The store staff quickly becomes jaded and loses confidence in the noise making annoyance and ultimately unplugs the loss prevention system rendering it useless.

RTF creates retail environments where embarrassment and nuisance are stopped and positive customer experiences lead to long term and happy clients.

mechCHARGE secure Apple, Android, Blackberry and Mobile 7 Smartphones by clamping an aluminum reinforced claw around the wireless devices gripping the handset as well as securing the battery.

The aircraft cable RECOILER uses a thick, 3mm diameter cable that makes cable cutting with scissors impossible and still allows an enjoyable customer interaction while holding the smartphone.

The iPad, Tablet and Smartphone not only is mechanically secured but also it is fully charged and a RED LED is illuminated to create the impression of an active alarm system.

Today professional thieves enter retail stores with tools in order to steal expensive consumer electronics and after severing the cable an alarm serves only as an alert that the merchandise has been stolen. Staff's safety is much more important than the attempt at retrieving a Smartphone.
