How to Stop Inventory Theft with Smart POS Software
Inventory shrinkage costs businesses billions every year. Discover how advanced POS features can prevent internal theft.
Internal theft and inventory shrinkage are massive problems for retailers around the world. Without proper checks and balances, it is incredibly difficult to pinpoint where stock is disappearing.
Using strict role-based access control (RBAC), blind shift closures, and detailed activity logs, MRKS POS helps you secure your assets and prevent unauthorized access.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Not every employee needs the ability to void transactions, apply massive discounts, or modify stock quantities. RBAC ensures cashiers can only ring up sales, while only managers can approve sensitive actions.
Detailed Audit Trails
Every action in the system—from opening the cash drawer without a sale to deleting a previously saved item—is recorded with a timestamp and the user’s ID. This makes it impossible to cover up suspicious activity.
Blind Shift Closures
Instead of telling cashiers how much money should be in the drawer at the end of their shift, force them to count and input the actual cash. The system will then highlight any discrepancies to management, effectively preventing skimming.
