Partner Spotlight: Gate Security AS Norway – Prioritizing Customer Needs in Retail Theft Solutions

Gate Security AS in Norway is a standout partner in the retail theft prevention sector. Founded in 2003, the company has been offering innovative, user-friendly security solutions for the retail, private, and public sectors. A key to their success? A strong commitment to understanding each customer’s unique needs and delivering tailored solutions that make a real difference.

A Customer-Centric Approach to Retail Theft Solutions

At Gate Security, customer satisfaction is the core of everything they do. They understand that retail theft solutions need to go beyond just preventing loss. These solutions must also align with a store’s operational needs, enhance the customer experience, and be adaptable to changing security challenges.
“Every retail environment has unique challenges, and we always start by listening to the customer,” says Daniel Nilsson, Country Manager for Norway. “When we craft the right solution, the return on investment is clear, and price becomes less of a factor.”

Tailored Solutions: Customer Needs Outweigh Costs

Many businesses are drawn to cheaper security solutions. However, Gate Security knows that these “quick fixes” often fail to address broader needs. While some providers focus solely on security or price, their solutions can feel imposing or restrictive. Gate Security takes a holistic approach, balancing cutting-edge security with a positive shopping experience.

Rather than simply installing a system, Gate Security starts by sitting down with customers to understand their unique needs. This tailored consultation ensures they provide solutions that protect both assets and enhance the customer experience.

“Many cheaper systems focus on security alone but fail to account for the retail environment and customer needs,” says Nilsson. “At Gate Security, we ensure that protecting assets doesn’t come at the expense of the shopping experience. We create solutions that keep products secure while also enhancing the customer journey.”

Investing in high-quality systems like the OnePOD provides significant value right from the start. With fewer theft incidents, smoother operations, and a more welcoming atmosphere, the solution quickly proves its worth.

“While cost is always a consideration, our customers see the return on investment from comprehensive, well-designed solutions,” says Nilsson. “Cheap alternatives often create a sterile or overly-monitored environment. With Gate Security, we offer top-tier security that keeps customers comfortable and engaged.”

Gate Security’s approach ensures businesses receive more than just a product. They provide comprehensive solutions that safeguard assets while maintaining a welcoming environment for customers.

Balancing Security with Customer Experience

One of the biggest challenges in retail theft prevention is balancing security with a pleasant shopping experience. Retailers want protection from theft but don’t want to compromise the store atmosphere. Gate Security addresses this by offering systems that provide top-tier security without feeling intrusive.

“It’s important for us that security doesn’t feel intrusive,” explains Nilsson. “Our solutions integrate seamlessly into the store, protecting assets without making it feel like a fortress. We pride ourselves on fitting the store layout and customer flow, so security works for both the business and the customer.”

Real Success in Retail Theft Prevention

A standout success for Gate Security came during the iPhone 16 launch. A customer, facing theft by organized gangs, reached out after struggling with a competitor’s system. Gate Security quickly implemented the OnePOD high-security system. Within two weeks, the customer was so impressed they expanded the solution to the entire store.

This highlights how Gate Security’s customer-first approach provides solutions that not only prevent theft but also enhance the shopping experience. By building solutions based on customer needs, they solve critical problems and build lasting, trusting relationships.

Recent Projects: ICE Mobile’s Enhanced Store Security

Gate Security’s customer-centric approach is evident in their recent work with ICE Mobile. By replacing older systems with the OnePOD solution, they significantly improved security and operational efficiency. The implementation of OnePOD, StopLok, and InVue’s patented OneKEY ecosystem has streamlined operations and enhanced both security and the customer experience.

“The results were clear from day one. ICE Mobile’s stores are now more secure, and the staff can focus on customer service instead of worrying about theft,” says Nilsson. As a result, OnePOD will be rolled out to all of ICE Mobile’s stores next year.

A Strong Partnership with InVue

The partnership between Gate Security and InVue is a natural fit. Both companies are committed to innovative technology and enhancing the customer experience. InVue’s solutions, like the OnePOD, not only secure high-value merchandise but also seamlessly integrate into store layouts, ensuring security remains unobtrusive.

By combining InVue’s industry-leading technology with Gate Security’s customer-first approach, the partnership offers cutting-edge solutions that address security challenges while improving the retail environment.

“Our collaboration with InVue has been a great,” says Nilsson. “At InVue’s European Business Partner Meeting, it was inspiring to see how we’re all solving similar security challenges in different markets. Together, we’re creating effective, tailored solutions that deliver real results for retailers across Europe.”

The Future of Retail Theft Prevention: Smarter and More Effective Solutions

Looking ahead, Gate Security sees a future where advanced technology plays an even larger role in retail theft prevention. With AI, automated surveillance, and smart alarm systems on the rise, the industry is moving toward more intelligent and scalable solutions. Gate Security, in partnership with InVue, is at the forefront of this trend, ensuring customers continue to receive the most innovative and effective solutions.

Looking Ahead: Innovation in Retail Theft Solutions

As the retail theft landscape evolves, Gate Security is dedicated to staying ahead of emerging challenges and trends. By investing in new technologies, collaborating with industry leaders like InVue, and prioritizing customer needs, Gate Security is always prepared to provide the most advanced and effective solutions across Europe.
