What Is Shrink?
Shrink refers to the percentage of loss of products between manufacture and point-of-sale. The average shrink percentage in the retail industry is somewhere between 1% and 2% of sales. The following numbers are taken from the Sensormatic Global Shrink Index:
Total global shrink in 2018 cost retailers $99.56 billion, with $42.49 billion lost in the US alone. 34.34% of shrink is attributed to shoplifting and organized retail crime, which leaves over 60% due to internal errors.
The 5 Main Causes Of Internal Shrink
- Training and re-training challenges
- Theft and dishonesty
- Inappropriate or poorly-designed transaction processes
- Management challenges at point-of-sale
- Poor work habits
StoreVision's solutions document, manage, control, and reduce the costs associated with these risks.
