Vensafe Select & Collect – Now With Digital Retail Media
Vensafe provides a secure in-store collection point for age-restricted and high-theft products purchased via self-checkout or staffed checkouts. Now featuring integrated digital screens, it also serves as a retail media platform, helping retailers reduce theft, prevent sales to minors, improve staff safety, and drive new in-store advertising revenue.
Reduce theft
The products are accessible only after payment, virtually eliminating the possibility of theft. The system also tracks all door openings and stock changes, reducing shrinkage from internal theft to nearly zero.
Remove security tags
The solution allows retailers to steer clear of on-item security tags for items that can be stored in Vensafe. According to our insights, retailers can experience a 5-10% increase in sales compared to using security tags which often results in greater friction.
Increase efficiency
Since all products are stored at one collection point your
replenishment is much easier and faster. As the system keeps track of your stock you do not risk being out of the key
products and you do not have to take stock manually.
Gain control
The system monitors all
products loaded into the Vensafe dispenser, providing complete real-time control over high-value, age-restricted, and high-theft items stored within it.
What’s new?
Integrated Digital Screen
Promote products or run brand advertisement
directly on the unit and on the shelf-embedded screen to influence shoppers at the point of decision.
Shelf-Embedded Design
Save space and enhance the shopping experience with Select screen kiosks placed exactly where purchase decisions happen, right at the shelf.
Customisable Branding
Tailor both the on-screen content and the physical display around the screen to match your branding, run targeted promotions, or offer it as an additional at-shelf advertising opportunity.
How does it work?
Step 1: Select
Browse and select your product at the shelf using the screen embedded in the shelf, right where you’d normally pick it up.
Step 2: Pay
Receive the printed voucher and bring it to the staffed checkout or self-checkout and complete your purchase.
Step 3: Collect
Collect your voucher at the Vensafe dispenser and securely receive your item, no staff assistance required.
Efficient and responsible sales of age-restricted items
Vensafe by StrongPoint offers a responsible and secure method for selling age-restricted items without the need for physical products at each checkout.
The solution means that certain products can be hidden and only accessed after full payment. If using product cards or dummy boxes, items can be purchased in a as close to normal shopping journey as possible.
Securing age-controlled and high-value products
Ensure security for age-restricted and high-value products, including pharmaceuticals, beauty products, razor blades, knives, lighters, matches, and tobacco products.
Customers can get items using product cards, dummy boxes, or a screen
Making it easy to sell high-theft items, and restrict the items you want to restrict. Software updates keeps the system ready for new legislations. Vensafe also reduces
visibility to minors for age-restricted items.
Public safety information
The customer screen can be configured to include public health and safety warnings to help deter tobacco consumption.
Combine with self-checkout
Vensafe is a natural companion to self-checkout solutions, allowing customers to access high theft or age-restricted products faster and easier.

Can be combined with self-checkout and AI-based automatic age verification
Age-restricted items can be purchased via self-checkout with AI-based age estimation. This eliminated the need for staffed age checks, making the process faster and easier for customers and store staff. Following age verification at the self-checkout, the customer retrieves the receipt and scans it at the Vensafe dispenser where a second age verification step ensures additional security. Upon successful verification, the items are dispensed. Watch the video below to see how it works!

What our customers say
Read what StrongPoint’s Vensafe customers are saying about the Vensafe solution and the benefits it has given them.
“Yes, I would recommend Vensafe. The benefits are numerous, not least the security and safety it brings to the staff. When we had established routines for refilling the Vensafes, we experienced higher sales, in addition to other advantages. It’s also good financially with reduced shrinkage as a bonus.” Anna Löwström, Store Manager of ICA Supermarket Åsa
Vensafe has helped us a lot with theft. We use it to handle small products with a high price, such as pregnancy tests, tobacco and razor blades. Customers think it’s great and it is very easy to understand. Madelene, Business Manager at ICA Maxi Kristinehamn
“With Vensafe, we always know what products we have and can fully reduce losses. One of Vensafe’s many benefits is that we can track every transaction in real-time and maintain complete control 24/7. With Vensafe we have a completely overview of performance, orders, and processes, which has made a huge difference. It’s a whole new and improved world for us.” Øyvind Dahl, Store Manager at Rema 1000 Stavset in Trondheim
