About Loss Prevention Analytics

Tell us what you think about Loss Prevention Analytics by completing the Survey.

Loss Prevention Analytics is an analytical tool that enables you to get a clear view of retail operations, identify and reduce the number of errors and theft. Loss Prevention Analytics combines different sources of information, such as transactional and video data, analyzes it, sets rules and produces documentation and reports. You can then work with these reports to get detailed information about the store operations in the real time and in the past.

Loss Prevention Analytics can help you to:

  • Discourage theft with verifiable proof
  • Identify employee training issues
  • Quickly verify transactions, risk events and employee claims

Loss Prevention Analytics provides you with access to accurate and timely data from any Internet-connected device. You can drill down into reports, view the associated video footage and filter data by date, location, employee, item, event and type of transaction.

To be able to use Loss Prevention Analytics, need to have PJR file processing enabled for cash registers. For details, see Enabling PJR Files.
