Vensafe Select & Collect: Including Digital Retail Media
For high-theft and age-restricted items bought through staffed or self-checkout checkouts, Vensafe offers a safe in-store collecting location. With its integrated digital screens, it now doubles as a retail media platform, assisting businesses in lowering theft, preventing sales to children, enhancing employee safety, and generating additional revenue from in-store advertising.
Reduce theft
Since the products may only be accessed after payment, stealing is virtually nonexistent. Additionally, the system keeps track of all stock changes and door openings, minimising shrinkage from internal theft.
Remove security tags
For products that can be kept in Vensafe, the technology enables shops to avoid using on-item security tags. Compared to the usage of security tags, which often results in more friction, our research shows that shops can notice a 5–10% increase in sales.
Increase efficiency
All of the products are kept in one location, making replenishing considerably simpler and quicker. Because the system manages your inventory, you don’t have to manually take inventory or run the danger of running out of essential supplies.
Gain control
The system monitors all
products loaded into the Vensafe dispenser, delivering total 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
Touchscreen kiosks, strategically placed right at the shelf where purchase decisions occur, help conserve space while enhancing the overall shopping experience.
Customisable Branding
Customise both the on-screen content and the physical display surrounding the screen to align with your branding, launch targeted promotions, or leverage it as an additional at-shelf advertising platform.
How does it work?
Step 1: Select
Use the built-in screen on the shelf to browse and choose your product—right at the spot where you’d usually grab it.
Step 2: Pay
Collect your printed voucher and head to either a staffed or self-checkout to complete your purchase.
Step 3: Collect
Pick up your voucher from the Vensafe dispenser and retrieve your item securely—no staff assistance needed.
Smart, Secure, and Compliant Sales of Age-Restricted Products
Vensafe by StrongPoint offers a safe and compliant way to manage the sale of age-restricted items, without the need to keep physical stock at every checkout.
By keeping selected products securely stored and only accessible after purchase, Vensafe helps retailers maintain regulatory compliance while minimising shrinkage. When paired with product cards or dummy boxes, the system allows customers to shop as they normally would, preserving a familiar and seamless in-store experience.
Protecting Age-Restricted and High-Value Items
Safeguard age-controlled and high-value products such as pharmaceuticals, beauty items, razor blades, knives, lighters, matches, and tobacco, ensuring both compliance and security.
Simple and Secure Access for Customers
Customers can purchase items using product cards, dummy boxes, or directly through a touchscreen interface, making it easy to manage high-theft or restricted products.
Vensafe streamlines compliance by minimising visibility of age-restricted items to minors and supports evolving regulations through regular software updates.
Public Health Messaging
The customer-facing screen can be customised to display public health and safety warnings, helping to discourage tobacco use and promote informed choices.
Seamless Integration with Self-Checkout
Vensafe pairs perfectly with self-checkout systems, giving customers quicker and easier access to high-theft or age-restricted products, without compromising security.

Integration with Self-Checkout and AI-Powered Age Verification
AI-driven age verification enables customers to purchase age-restricted items via self-checkout, eliminating the need for staffed age checks and streamlining the process for both customers and store staff. After completing the age verification at self-checkout, customers retrieve their receipt and scan it at the Vensafe dispenser. A second age verification step ensures added security before the items are dispensed. Watch the video below to see it in action

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
