Our partner for more than 10 years PERIFEM welcomes us today in its premises to allow us to present our new product : the THOOBEE®.

PERIFEM is a recognized interlocutor who puts in contact public authorities, major retailers and suppliers of solutions for stores so that they can exchange on their experiences in the fields of technology, safety and innovation.

The THOOBEE® is a product that fits perfectly into this framework. Validated by an INPI patent, our company developed this new system at the request of Galeries Lafayette who wanted a global solution for securing their stores, without wires and easy to install.

The THOOBEE® allows to manage emergency situations in a store : thefts, incivilities, aggressions... Thanks to a simple button placed at the checkout, the hostess can call the security agent who will be warned by a pre-established message on his pager and will know immediately at which checkout to intervene.

The THOOBEE® improves customer service with the implementation of a sales call button for closed windows and a call button that allows the customer in the fitting room to contact a salesperson without leaving the room for a size change for example.

The THOOBEE® is an innovative product presented exclusively at PERIFEM today !

In 2016, Jacky Thoonsen, CEO of the company, decided to diversify his activity. This motocross and BMX enthusiast, who was the president of the Moto Club Castelroussin (36) for 10 years, wanted to combine his passion with his professional activity by using the structures and logistics already in place in his company. This is how the MOXO® brand of electric bikes was born.

This diversification allowed us to become experts in electric motors and batteries. When we presented MOXO® products to our customers, they asked us to work on a home delivery solution by bike. The BICYCARGO® project was born.

The MOXO® by Thoonsen brand then established a partnership with the Intermarché shop in Clichy, near Paris, to test the patented prototype of the cargo bike and to perfect it in order to propose a finalized version in the coming weeks.

The current model can already deliver an average of two orders per trip effortlessly thanks to the electric assistance and with great workability, especially on bends, according to feedback from our partners

Since 1896, "Les Galeries Lafayette" have been one of the most emblematic French stores for luxury goods. Their concept is a department store offering in one place excellent brands of clothes, leather goods, jewelry... They were recently awarded 2014 "International Store of the Year" by the British newspaper "Retail News", which proves once again their worlwide prominence.

Thoonsen Trading is proud to become an official supplier for "Les Galeries Lafayettes" for the supply of anti-theft antennas and tags. This new partnership consolidates the firm's strategy and strengthens its position on the National market. The Galerie Lafayette stores in Orléans and Nice are already equipped by Thoonsen.

On May 13, 14 and 15, the first edition of the international distribution exhibition in Shanghai, the C-Star, took place. On this occasion, Thoonsen was able to present its latest innovations. We would like to thank the organizers of the show for the great welcome we received, and the visitors of our booth during this edition.

On December 19th, the “Top de l'Innovation” trophy was awarded to Thoonsen by the local newspaper “la Nouvelle République”. For 10 years, Thoonsen's has been specializing in offering antitheft solutions to the Retail market. But the company’s main point of strength is its ability to innovate. For its founder Jacky Thoonsen this is in fact the key to their success « If we hadn’t started innovating, the firm would be closed ».

By giving this award to Thoonsen “la Nouvelle République” has acknowledged all the work that the company has put in to innovation with, to its credit, 5 patents in France, 1 in China, 1 in the United States and more patents pending in Europe, Brazil, Russia, China and the United States.

With the advent of e-commerce, retail outlets have to rethink their business model if they want to keep up because stores experienced little technological progress in 20 years. The solution is to offer more customer service. To achieve that, you need to have sales staff on hand to answer queries rapidly with a quality service.

In light of this context, Thoonsen will be presenting a range of new complementary shop technologies that are ready to increase your profits & customer satisfaction, manage your stock and lower shrinkage. One technology consists in wireless call buttons for customers who need advice and service in your fitting rooms & departments. This technology can be combined with RFID+EAS dual technology security hard tags to identify and quickly find the right products that your customers need, to improve store management and inventory processes. These security tags come with an automatic opening feature for self check-outs so they can be taken off safely by the customer once payment has been made.

Meet us at Level 1 - Hall 1A - Booth #1619 to discover our new range of  anti theft tags!
