Retail Loss Prevention

Efficient way to reduce inventory loss at self-checkout and employee-staffed counters. Energizing retailers to cost-effectively decrease inventory loss at store checkout lanes with AI-driven software and hardware technology.

Retail organizations have long recognized the financial blow of inventory that is deemed missing or lost. A 2017 Money magazine article assessed that inventory loss from stores cost the U.S. retail industry nearly $48.9 billion for the previous year.

Industry professionals recognize five major categories of retail inventory loss:

• 1. Internal employee theft
• 2. External shoplifting theft
• 3. Paperwork and operational errors
• 4. System issues
• 5. Supplier fraud

Majority of the financial impact due to inventory loss in the retail marketplace occurs in stores are system issues.

The combined loss from the warehouse, from the store and from supplier fraud is less than the loss from the actions of both employees and customers at the POS. Preventing scan fraud activities such as scanning errors and UPC barcode switching at the POS is crucial to decrease the major source of inventory loss. Omni Business Solutions provide optional solutions that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce inventory loss that is caused by either accidental or intentional conduct during checkout.

Omni Business Solutions hardware portfolio provide server options that runs state-of-the-art product recognition technology, the solution can be used in most retail stores to reduce inventory loss during POS use at both self-checkout (SCO) and employee-staffed checkout lanes. Cameras that are positioned around an SCO kiosk capture real-time video of product items as they are scanned.

The products are cross checked with purchases that are recorded by the POS system. All servers within our portfolio have a well-integrated management suite that makes them ideal as edge nodes in distributed retail environments. The recommended server product line will support video decoding and product recognition. The GPUs provide the throughput and fast response times that a retail checkout system requires. The software offering is designed for distributed deployment, monitoring, and management through Microsoft Azure IoT Hub and the NVIDIA EGX stack.
