Security

Shrinkage, or the loss of product between manufacturer and the point of sale, is one of the major reasons for loss of revenue for a business owner. And loss at the POS terminal is one of the major contributors to shrinkage. How do we combat this problem? Old methods were to record employees with surveillance cameras or have staff monitor the POS terminal. However, with current technology, POS terminals can monitor and deliver automatic updates for possible fraudulent activity known as POS Exceptions. The POS terminal can inform the manager about unauthorized discounts, no-sales, fraudulent returns and manually manipulating prices. The POS terminal can sort the information by employee, refunds, terminals and other criteria to further help the merchant locate the source of shrinkage. Do not let more money slip out of your pockets. Talk with us about POS terminals and how they can prevent shrinkage for your business.
