Description
Fresh USA Anti-Theft / Inventory Software
Windows software for anti-theft monitoring, tagged-item tracking, inventory management, Smart Shelf applications and authorized issue / return operations. The $299 package includes one lifetime software license for one Windows computer and one compatible connected Fresh USA reader. No mandatory monthly Fresh USA software subscription is required.
Anti-Theft / Inventory Software Package
Fresh USA Anti-Theft / Inventory Software combines anti-theft monitoring, tagged-item tracking, inventory management and compatible Smart Shelf operations in one Windows software environment.
Compatible Fresh USA equipment can report detected tags to the software, allowing registered merchandise, equipment and other assets to be identified, monitored and recorded.
The software is designed for expandable multi-reader systems. Multiple compatible readers can operate through the same software and database while being assigned to different operational functions and monitored zones.
A single system can therefore combine functions such as:
- ✓ Anti-theft monitoring at protected exits
- ✓ Inventory monitoring and tagged-item management
- ✓ Smart Shelf monitoring
- ✓ Multiple Smart Shelf zones
- ✓ Multiple entrances and exits
- ✓ Authorized checkout and return
- ✓ Tagged-item movement and transaction history

Computer-specific lifetime license
The software license file is tied to the motherboard of the specific computer for which it is issued. The license cannot be transferred to another computer. Installation on a different computer requires a new software license.
Anti-Theft Monitoring
When compatible Fresh USA detection equipment is connected to the software, tagged merchandise and assets detected within a monitored entrance, exit or other configured detection zone can be identified and recorded.
Depending on the connected equipment and system configuration, anti-theft functions can include:
- ✓ Real-time display of detected tagged items
- ✓ On-screen anti-theft notifications
- ✓ Audible computer alarms
- ✓ Identification of registered merchandise or assets
- ✓ Detection-event records
- ✓ Searchable tagged-item history
- ✓ Monitoring of multiple protected entrances or detection zones
- ✓ Centralized monitoring of multiple compatible connected readers
Inventory Management
Anti-theft monitoring and inventory functions operate within the same software environment, allowing compatible tagged merchandise, equipment and assets to be registered and managed in one database.
Inventory functions can include:
- ✓ Registration of merchandise, equipment and other assets
- ✓ Assignment of compatible tags to individual item records
- ✓ Bulk tag scanning using compatible equipment
- ✓ Current inventory balances
- ✓ Item movement and transaction history
- ✓ Searching for registered items
- ✓ Issue and return documentation
- ✓ Authorized checkout and return operations
- ✓ Data exchange with compatible mobile inventory equipment
Smart Shelf Mode
Fresh USA Anti-Theft / Inventory Software can also operate with compatible Fresh USA Smart Shelf systems.
Smart Shelf readers can be connected to the same Windows software system together with other compatible anti-theft and inventory readers.
Multiple Readers — Including Smart Shelf Zones
The software is not limited to one reader or one type of monitoring point. Multiple compatible readers can be connected to the same software database and assigned to different operational functions.
- ✓ Anti-theft exit readers — monitor tagged merchandise or assets at protected exits.
- ✓ Inventory readers — support inventory and tagged-item management workflows.
- ✓ Smart Shelf readers — support Smart Shelf monitoring, fast inventory and tagged-item management within configured shelf or display zones.
- ✓ Multiple Smart Shelf zones — additional compatible Smart Shelf readers can be added as the installation expands.
- ✓ Mixed reader configurations — Smart Shelf, anti-theft and inventory readers can operate within the same software environment.
This allows one Fresh USA software environment to combine several protection and inventory functions instead of requiring a separate software platform for every monitored area.
| Reader / Zone | Typical Software Function |
|---|---|
| Protected Exit | Anti-theft detection, tagged-item identification and unauthorized-removal event records. |
| Inventory Zone | Inventory scanning, tagged-item records, balances, movement history and related inventory operations. |
| Smart Shelf Zone | Smart Shelf monitoring, fast inventory and tagged-item activity within the configured Smart Shelf area. |
| Additional Smart Shelf / Reader Zone | Can be added to the same software system with an Additional Reader Connection License. |
Smart Shelf requires compatible Smart Shelf hardware and tags.
Smart Shelf operation uses its own compatible reader configuration and application-specific tags. Jewelry Smart Shelf tags are designed for the Smart Shelf system and should not be treated as standard tags for a conventional overhead anti-theft exit system.

Combined Smart Shelf + Exit Anti-Theft Protection
Smart Shelf monitoring and conventional exit anti-theft monitoring can complement each other within the same software environment.
For example, a system can use Smart Shelf readers to monitor high-value tagged merchandise at display locations while separate compatible anti-theft readers monitor protected exits.
Both types of reader activity can be managed through the same Anti-Theft / Inventory Software system when the project is configured with the required compatible equipment and reader licenses.
Authorized Checkout and Return
The software supports an authorized checkout and return workflow for tagged items that normally remain protected by the anti-theft system.
| Operation | Software Action |
|---|---|
| Authorized checkout | A checkout document is created and the item’s tag is scanned. The item is temporarily removed from active anti-theft protection for the authorized transaction. |
| Item leaves | The authorized item can pass through the monitored exit without generating the normal unauthorized-removal alarm. |
| Inventory record | The inventory balance and transaction history reflect that the item has been issued. |
| Return | When the returned item’s tag is scanned, the transaction is reconciled and the item is returned to inventory. |
| Protection restored | The returned item becomes active again in the anti-theft workflow. |
Multiple Readers, Smart Shelf Zones and Multiple Computers
The software can be expanded for projects with multiple protected entrances, inventory monitoring points, Smart Shelf zones, connected readers and Windows workstations.
Different compatible readers can perform different functions while operating within the same Fresh USA software environment.
| Configuration | Licensing / Operation |
|---|---|
| 1 Windows computer | One Anti-Theft / Inventory Software license. |
| 1 connected fixed reader | Included with this $299 software package. |
| 2 connected fixed readers | First reader connection included + 1 Additional Reader Connection License. |
| 4 connected fixed readers | First reader connection included + 3 Additional Reader Connection Licenses. |
| Smart Shelf readers | Compatible Smart Shelf readers can be connected to the same software system. The first reader connection is included; each additional connected fixed reader requires one Additional Reader Connection License. |
| Multiple Smart Shelf zones | Multiple compatible Smart Shelf readers can be assigned to different shelf or display zones within the same software system. |
| Mixed reader configuration | Anti-theft, inventory and Smart Shelf readers can operate within the same software environment according to the project configuration. |
| Additional Windows computers | Each additional Windows computer running the licensed software requires its own software license. |
1 Reader Connection Included — Expand to Multiple Reader Types
The $299 Anti-Theft / Inventory Software package includes activation for one Windows computer and a license for one compatible connected Fresh USA reader.
The included reader can be part of an anti-theft, inventory or compatible Smart Shelf configuration.
Additional compatible fixed readers can then be added to the same software environment as required by the project.
Each additional fixed reader connected to the software system requires one Additional Reader Connection License.
