Loss prevention that works
behind the scenes of every checkout

shopreme’s successful loss prevention is built on a multi-layered strategy. Embedded into every shopreme solution, a refined, software-based selection process lies at its core. It continuously analyses basket data, shopping patterns, and risk profiles in real-time to select shoppers for spot checks, ensuring that staff only intervene when necessary.

This holistic approach minimizes losses without interrupting customer journeys. 
shopreme’s loss prevention stands on three powerful pillars:

Introducing shopreme sentry

While every shopreme solution includes advanced loss prevention, the AI-powered add-on sentry continuously learns from transactions and basket behavior, enhancing detection precision over time. 

No additional hardware required

shopreme sentry is integrated with your existing POS system – no extra cameras, no guards, no scales.

Invisible to the customer

No one likes to be monitored or filmed. shopreme sentry is invisible to the customer.

Less spot checks at more prevented loss

AI makes spot checks cutting edge and accurate, becoming all more efficient.

Increased comfort for employees

Our system picks customers for spot checks automatically, so employees don’t have to.

“They excel at adaptivity, flexibility, and fast development”

“At REWE, we are very glad that we chose shopreme for our Scan & Go solution.

They excel at their adaptivity, flexibility for custom solutions, and their fast development cycle"

Spot checks & smart re-scan

One a check has been triggered, the employee is notified to perform the check. During a guided, smart re-scan, the employee can mark the basket as OK or not OK. This flexibility takes, on average, 38 seconds.

How can AI improve loss prevention in Self-Checkout systems?

In short: AI improves retail loss prevention in Self-Checkout by analyzing transaction data and shopping patterns in real-time. AI can detect anomalies and reduce scanning errors while continuously improving to prevent loss without disrupting checkout flow.

AI improves loss prevention in Self-Checkout by analyzing shopping behavior in real time. It detects anomalies and prevents shrinkage more effectively than traditional methods. Unlike static, hardware-heavy solutions, AI continuously learns and adapts to each store’s patterns, becoming more effective over time.

How AI works in retail loss prevention

  • Real-time data analysis: Tools like shopreme sentry silently analyze shopping basket data, shopping patterns, and risk profiles in real-time.

  • Targeted spot checks: Suspicious baskets can trigger spot checks, reducing theft before it happens and avoiding unnecessary interruptions for honest customers.

  • Error reduction: Intuitive UX design and AI-driven reminders (e.g., in smart carts with camera vision) prevent scanning errors, such as forgetting to scan an item, by providing gentle reminders.

Examples of anomalies AI can detect

  • Rapid or unusually slow scanning

  • Repeated scans

  • Items removed from the cart before checkout

  • Suspicious time gaps between scans

Proven results with AI loss prevention

Running silently in the background, shopreme’s AI-enhanced retail loss prevention tool sentry prevents four times more shrinkage than random methods.

What are the most effective deterrents in retail loss prevention?

In short: Effective retail loss prevention combines psychological, technological, and human deterrents. Combining UX design, smart technologies, and trained staff reduces shrinkage more effectively than relying on traditional hardware-heavy methods, protecting margins while maintaining a smooth checkout experience.

The most effective deterrents in retail loss prevention combine psychological, technological, and human pillars. From our experience with leading retailers, success comes from aligning deterrents with store setup, culture, and customer experience.

Three key pillars of effective loss prevention

Psychological: Registration, onboarding, high-quality UX design, spot check awareness, checkout layouts, or communicating penalties.

Technological: Exit gates, AI-powered loss prevention, facial intelligence, scales, employee apps, or camera vision.

Human: Well-trained staff who understand both fraud and Self-Checkout technology.

Significantly, in Self-Checkout, deterrents should not unnecessarily disrupt the user journey. Random spot checks or overly intrusive measures damage customer loyalty.

Common deterrents in retail loss prevention

Retailers worldwide often use a mix of:

• Security staff
• CCTV and surveillance systems
• Electronic article surveillance (EAS) tags
• Exit gates and barriers
• Random spot checks

While common, these methods are often hardware-heavy, costly, and disruptive. That’s why more retailers are shifting to software-driven deterrents like shopreme sentry to maximize efficiency and protect margins.

shopreme’s approach

shopreme combines proven user experience (UX) design with AI-enhanced loss prevention software that operates invisibly in the background to minimize shrinkage while protecting customer trust.

Additionally, AI-powered camera vision adds an extra layer of security to smart carts. In Self-Checkout zones, the shopreme vector Exit Terminal can be introduced as a physical barrier to ensure a controlled checkout process.

What does loss prevention mean in retail?

Retail loss prevention, also called shrinkage prevention, is the strategy retailers use to reduce profit loss from theft, fraud, and operational errors.

Effective retail loss prevention combines people, processes, and technology to detect and prevent shrinkage while protecting margins. To do so, retailers use tools to identify their causes and implement hard- and software-based solutions to detect and prevent shrinkage.

Traditional loss prevention methods

• Security staff & CCTV monitoring store activity.
• Electronic article surveillance (EAS) & exit gates prevent unpaid items from leaving the store.
• Weight scales at checkout validating scanned items.

Regarding Self-Checkout, there are several hardware- and software-based approaches to retail loss prevention, such as AI-powered video analytics, weight scales, and software-based loss prevention tools. Most common tools are hardware-heavy and thus associated with high costs. Modern solutions strategically combine hardware and software to reduce shrinkage more efficiently.

Modern loss prevention in Self-Checkout

Retailers increasingly use AI-powered camera vision, real-time basket checks, and software-based monitoring to detect anomalies more efficiently. These solutions reduce shrinkage while keeping customer experience smooth.

shopreme’s approach to retail loss prevention

shopreme combines psychological, technological, and human pillars:

Psychological: clear, intuitive UX reduces unintentional errors.
Technological: AI-driven basket analytics and smart algorithms minimize fraud while requiring fewer spot checks. Smart carts are equipped with AI-powered camera vision to provide an extra layer of security.
Human: well-trained staff supports fraud detection and customer guidance.

The result for retailers: higher spot check accuracy, lower shrinkage, and a frictionless shopping experience that builds trust and loyalty.

• Electronic article surveillance (EAS) & exit gates prevent unpaid items from leaving the store.
• Weight scales at checkout validating scanned items.

Regarding Self-Checkout, there are several hardware- and software-based approaches to retail loss prevention, such as AI-powered video analytics, weight scales, and software-based loss prevention tools. Most common tools are hardware-heavy and thus associated with high costs. Modern solutions strategically combine hardware and software to reduce shrinkage more efficiently.

Modern loss prevention in Self-Checkout

Retailers increasingly use AI-powered camera vision, real-time basket checks, and software-based monitoring to detect anomalies more efficiently. These solutions reduce shrinkage while keeping customer experience smooth.
