Atlanta, GA (April 23, 2013) – M2SYS Technology, a global biometrics identity management company, announced today that RadioShack® has deployed M2SYS’s biometric identification software at select stores to capture the fingerprints of customers engaging in the sale of second-hand merchandise through RadioShack®’s “Trade & Save” Program. The biometric software deployment is meant to help stop fraud and establish a concrete audit trail of transactions.

Designed to limit fraud and the resale of stolen items, some U.S. jurisdictions require retail establishments that are licensed to accept trade-in merchandise to capture customer fingerprints. RadioShack® recently began accepting second-hand merchandise at select stores throughout the country and was seeking a convenient, affordable, user-friendly way to capture customer fingerprints and comply with the law.

Impressed with its affordability, plug-and-play practicality, and ease of deployment, RadioShack® turned to the M2SYS Bio-Plugin™ Image Capture Software solution to capture and create a raw image file from a scanned fingerprint.

“Since we already have a relationship with another vendor who provides a solution for pawn shops and gold buyers that includes our Bio-Plugin™ image capture software, we were familiar with this market and the need for retailers to adopt a simple, easy-to-use product,” said Michael Trader, President of M2SYS Technology. “The increase of fraud and theft has prompted many retailers to deploy biometric identification technologies to establish a concrete audit trail and fight back against criminals.”
