“PayVue has made it easier to
monitor cash operations. My staff
likes it because it helps them see what
they are taking in and giving back.
This has resulted in fewer shortages,
and ultimately higher profit. It’s good
for us all.”

Protecting the Goods
SECTION 2: PROTECTING THE GOODS
Physical Security is an element of the POS structure that has been
embedded from the very beginning. The invention of the cash
register was predicated upon the fact that storekeepers needed
a way to protect their profits from being pilfered. Back then,
storekeepers were attempting to protect their sales earnings from
employees. Now, even though more than 34% of the $44B in retail
theft in 2014 was due to employee theft (2015 NRF Retail Study),
there are so many other “trackable” factors that contribute to profit
loss, including shoplifting (37% of profit loss in 2014), vendor fraud
(6.8% of shrinkage), administrative errors (16.5% of shrinkage), etc.
All of these causes of shrinkage can be aided by an informed and
trusted advisor, like an RSPA VAR. In this section, we’ll hear about
the strategic journey of a major retailer, and, in an effort to hearken
back to the old days of the first cash registers, learn how to help
merchants get more of their earnings into their bank accounts.

There are many causes of shrinkage, in all verticals. For
many of RSPA member customers—SMB merchants—
they can ill afford the losses that shrinkage causes. If
you’re not selling security options outside of the POS, in
what ways can you start that overall security conversation
with your customer? Should you be thinking about video
surveillance options? Are there new mobile applications
that allow them to monitor on-the-go?
Trying to keep up in the

while trying to keep your costs
