Nedap (AMS:NEDAP) today announces the launch of iSenseGo, a suite of solutions that enables grocery, health and beauty retailers to secure every form of checkout.
iSenseGo enables retailers to offer fast and frictionless checkouts without uncontrollable shrinkage levels. The suite of solutions consists of labels, deactivation, EAS and a data analytics platform that all work together so retailers can offer the checkout experience their shoppers want, without comprising on security.
‘New retail experiences like 10-minute grocery delivery apps or ‘checkout-free’ store concepts, in combination with radically different lifestyle and working patterns have changed the way we shop’, said Robin van Stenis, Global Marketing Director. ‘Shoppers now seeking to experience the same fast and frictionless checkouts they do online when visiting physical stores. Focusing on self-service and the speed of checkout can meet these expectations, but it can come at a high cost. Studies have shown that stores with self-checkout options are experiencing double the shrinkage levels that traditional checkout stores have.’ ‘
We envision a world where technology leads to zero waste and no losses for retailers, concludes Robin van Stenis. “This means innovation is key. By focusing on four key loss prevention areas, preventing theft does not have to be in conflict with a seamless shopping experience. It’s about putting the needs of the shopper first, and then look at technology and data to protect retailers from theft.’

What is shrinkage in a grocery store?
Inventory shrinkage or shrink refers to the existing value of inventory the store technically owns but that can't be sold. Many grocery store managers end up dealing with hefty losses because they are either ordering the wrong amount of products, the wrong products or facing other issues such as theft.
