Shrink: Why relying on POS data isn’t enough for retailers

Relying solely on POS data leaves retailers blind to the root causes of shrink, which often occur before or beyond the checkout. Inventory misplacement, operational errors, and supply chain inefficiencies all contribute to losses that POS systems simply can’t track. By combining POS data with real-time insights from BrainOS®-powered AMRs and data-driven robotics, retailers gain a smarter, more proactive approach to shrink—reducing stockouts, improving accuracy, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
