ShrinkShield Scan

ShrinkShield Scan is a mobile scan-and-go layer for mid-market grocers and convenience chains that want the speed benefits of scan-and-go without getting crushed by shrink. Shoppers scan items in-app, pay, and exit, but the system continuously scores each basket for risk using signals retailers already have: POS history, item-level shrink hotspots, time-in-store patterns, and random audit rules. High-risk baskets trigger lightweight interventions (e.g., “please rescan last 3 items,” “associate quick-check,” or “route to staffed kiosk”), while low-risk baskets get a fast exit. The app includes an associate companion mode for quick basket verification and incident logging. This is not a magic “theft-proof” solution; it’s a pragmatic control system that reduces losses enough to make scan-and-go financially viable for retailers who can’t build Amazon-level tech.
