Loss prevention & compliance · Multi-location retail
Control shrink and pass audits without the admin.
Shrink surfaces in the quarterly variance long after the cause is cold. The LP analyst hand-builds exception reports from POS voids and refund logs across dozens of doors.
The reality
Shrink is an exception problem.
Loss prevention lives in the exception report — no-sale opens, void patterns, refund-without-receipt, negative on-hand — pulled door by door from the POS and inventory systems. When a threshold breaks, the analyst opens an audit, assigns corrective actions, and then loses the thread on whether the store actually closed them.
The operator monitors the shrink signals continuously, flags the door that breaches threshold, raises the audit, and tracks every corrective action to completion — keeping the policy-exception log clean and the audit defensible.
