Graham Partners Completes Continuation Vehicle for Gatekeeper Systems

6777 PCA Graham Partners - Gatekeeper Systems NT

Engagement Overview

Industry Group: Industrials
Areas of Focus: Industrial Technology, Communication and Connectivity

Harris Williams advised Graham Partners on their single-asset continuation vehicle with Gatekeeper Systems. Headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California, Gatekeeper Systems provides proprietary IoT-enabled loss prevention solutions that help retailers combat theft, while enhancing employee and shopper safety.

Retail theft is a persistent problem that is adversely impacting profits, worker safety, and legal liability for retailers, supporting increased adoption of loss prevention solutions like Gatekeeper. Unlike other retail theft solutions, Gatekeeper actively stops pushout theft while reducing the risk of violent confrontation for employees and preserving the customer experience.

Gatekeeper’s loss prevention and cart containment solutions utilize patented locking technology to put an end to cart-based shoplifting and shopping cart loss. Deployed in many of the largest retailer chains, including 48 of the top 50 cart-based retailers in North America, the company’s solutions are rapidly gaining share in a market that is only ~6% penetrated globally due to the strong ROI it provides to retailers.¹

This transaction represents an opportunity for Graham to continue its partnership with Gatekeeper. Graham believes there are additional organic and inorganic value creation opportunities for Gatekeeper and looks forward to working alongside the company through their next phase.
