Shrinkage in retail is a significant issue, with losses from theft, mislabeling, and fraud costing retailers billions. The challenge is particularly pronounced in the 'in-between' stage, where products can go missing between distribution centers and stores. To combat this, retailers are leveraging AI and advanced technologies to enhance visibility and tracking of inventory.
The 2023 Retail Security Survey revealed a staggering $112 billion in losses due to shrink, prompting retailers to adopt innovative solutions like RFID and AI. These technologies not only help in tracking products but also in preventing fraud and identifying suspicious behaviors. By integrating AI with existing systems, retailers can create a more secure and efficient supply chain.
