Inexpensive and Easy Way
to Reduce Retail Shrink
with S-TRON
According to the annual National Retail Security
Report, every year, the consistent largest single source
for retail shrink is due to employee theft. In 2012,
this report estimated 44% of overall loss was due to
employee theft and 13% was caused by employee
administrative error. Of the shrink loss, approximately
57% of the loss is caused by internal mismanagement and
employee theft combined.
Other causes for shrink include vendor fraud (5%) and
shoplifting (36%). This survey reported that the
remaining causes for shrink loss were unknown.
A system dedicated to reduce retail shrink has been
developed by ScanCam. S-TRON, a certified authorized
dealer of ScanCam reduces shrink loss from where most
retail shrink occurs, the point sale terminal where
employees process the sales transactions. Retail shrink
can occur when:
| •
|
The barcode
scan is not registering |
| •
|
There are
unauthorized discounts by an employee to
customers |
| •
|
Employees
make up fraudulent returns |
| •
|
There is a
fraudulent manual entering of making a
no-sale, in which the cashier opens the cash
counter without registering a sale and
pocketing the cash. |
 ScanCam prevents fraud and mistakes by identifying
each successful barcode scan transaction with a flash of
a green light from the register. The green light is
shown as confirmation that the transaction was recorded
in the cash register.
Video playback is easier than reading a cash register
text over video since the viewer can easily confirm
transactions each time the green light flashes.
The ScanCam system is not difficult to install. There is
no need to run new wires from the cash registers back to
an existing DVR. ScanCam can be inexpensively installed
with an existing or new camera system.
