Smarter Trolley Control for Retailers
Retailers are under increasing pressure to reduce trolley loss, improve collection efficiency and provide customers with a more convenient shopping experience. Traditional coin locks and manual trolley recovery processes are becoming harder to manage, especially as labour costs rise and trolley fleets become more expensive to replace.
TDMN® gives retailers a smarter way to manage trolley control with two practical solutions: sMart Lock™ & Track and sMart Track™.
Smarter control starts with visibility
You cannot manage what you cannot see.
When trolleys leave the store car park or are abandoned in surrounding streets, teams often rely on manual checks, customer complaints or council notices to locate them. This creates unnecessary labour, increases replacement costs and makes trolley management reactive rather than controlled.
TDMN® helps retailers turn trolley management into a measurable, technology-led process.
With real-time trolley visibility, store teams can identify where trolleys are, recover them faster and reduce the time wasted searching. This helps improve productivity, reduce loss and support a cleaner, safer local area around the store.
sMart Lock™ & Track
sMart Lock™ & Track combines digital trolley unlocking with GPS visibility.
Customers can unlock a trolley using a simple digital process, removing the need to carry coins while still encouraging trolley return and locking behaviour. For retailers, the system provides location visibility and better control over trolley movement, helping reduce loss and improve fleet management.
The result is a better experience for customers and a smarter operational tool for retailers.
sMart Track™
For retailers that do not require digital locking, sMart Track™ provides real-time trolley location visibility.
It helps store teams identify abandoned trolleys, improve recovery runs and reduce the time spent manually searching across surrounding streets, car parks and local areas. This gives retailers a practical way to improve collection productivity without changing the customer trolley access process.
Built for real retail operations
TDMN® technology has been designed for the realities of supermarket and retail environments. It supports stores by helping reduce trolley loss, improve collection efficiency and provide clearer data around fleet movement.
Whether a retailer needs a full digital unlock and tracking solution, or a tracking-only system, TDMN® provides a practical path toward smarter trolley control.
