IDIS has released a free-to-download new eBook that details how brick-and-mortar retailers can leverage the power of next-gen video surveillance and AI-powered analytics to re-emerge more competitive and profitable post-pandemic.
One of the biggest hurdles that retailers must scale is shrink, which continues to plague loss prevention managers with few stores keeping rates below 0.5%.
Managers face wide array of shrink challenges
The 2020 National Retail Federation (NRF) survey results show that losses from theft, fraud, and other shrink factors rose nearly 22% from 2018 to 2019, with the latest 2020 figure remaining above the five-year average.
Currently, security and loss prevention managers are dealing with a wide array of shrink challenges, ranging from staff, returns and multichannel fraud, internal theft, deceptive self-scanning, and organized crime.
