Beverages https://cspdailynews.com/technologyservices/how-cloud-based-ai-video-security-helps-minimize-loss-fraud?utm_source=How%20Cloud-Based%2C%20AI%20Video%20Security%20Helps%20Minimize%20Loss%20and%20Fraud%20&utm_medium=cspdn-feed&utm_campaign=RSS-Feeds A lot can happen at convenience stores that can result in profit loss, such as shoplifting, chargebacks at the pump and even employee fraud. An effective surveillance system can help c-store retailers minimize loss and fraud. Strategically placed cameras, both inside and outside stores, can provide owners with an extra set of eyes where they are needed, and make them feel more confident in protecting their assets and maximizing their profits. Loss prevention solution C-stores are busy places where multiple customers are in multiple locations at the same time—pumping gas, making purchases inside the store or getting their cars washed. With so many areas that may frequently get left unattended, it is very possible for c-store retailers to experience a potential theft problem. Using security cameras integrated with managed video can be the solution retailers need to monitor products and to also serve as a deterrent for shoplifters. Cameras can be placed anywhere theft could be a threat—behind the counter pointing at the register, in beer coolers, pointing at the lottery ticket area, as well as outside to monitor gas pumps and protect retailers from fraudulent chargebacks. Irregularities and suspicious activities such as voided transactions, discount abuse, refunds and dishonest cash handling can also hurt bottom lines. With a managed video solution, retailers can quickly spot potential issues without sifting through a lot of data. A surveillance system that handles safety as well as operations Having a cloud-based video storage system is a good idea, as it allows footage to be stored for extended periods of time in case a slip and fall, or an accident occurs that results in a lawsuit months or years after the incident. Security cameras with AI capabilities may be just what c-store owners need when suspicious or unwanted activity is happening at their store. A quality surveillance system that not only identifies issues, but allows c-store owners to easily save and share video clips with external personnel—such as law enforcement—can serve as proof if needed when issues like shoplifting, altercations and vandalism arise. Theft prevention isn’t the only use for security cameras. Monitoring store operations is another benefit. A managed video solution can also keep a watchful eye on matters such as: Cleanliness and safety—to ensure clean surfaces, food safety and accident prevention. Employee conduct—to monitor professional behavior and adherence to safety rules. Opening and closing—to verify operating hours and proper procedures. Office duties—to ensure secure cash handling and also verify vendor deliveries quickly. In addition, cameras at convenience stores with unmanned car washes can take the place of having an additional employee at the car wash area. AI-enabled security solutions With Envysion’s Cloud-Based AI Video Security System, c-store retailers can access real-time footage across all of their store locations anytime and anywhere across all devices. Envysion combines video with data from stores’ POS systems, so whether retailers are logging in from their store or on the go via a mobile device, video access is a quick click or tap away. Envysion’s Managed Video Solution is easy to use, and keeps video evidence safe and secure. It also has other features that c-store retailers may find beneficial, such as the ability to focus on an exact interaction with video motion search and detection, or filtering recorded video by transaction, location, day and time with advanced technology to pick up on anomalies—such as an employee or customer being somewhere they normally aren’t supposed to be. Additionally, Envysion also has a reporting tool that can help minimize loss by identifying c-store transaction discrepancies. Its exception reports include: daily transaction reports; voids and returns reports; age-restricted item monitoring; discount and gift card redemption; and sales by inventory. Manage loss prevention, safety and store operations with Envysion by adding a layer of protection to c-stores and profits. For more information, click here.

Whether it’s a small family-operated store or a large multi-store chain, software automation that does the heavy lifting for repetitive, manual tasks can be a breath of fresh air for daily operations. Not only does automation give management countless hours back, but it also streamlines processes like shift reporting, inventory movement, scan data processing, reporting, and more. Pricebook management that creates efficiency and profitability Using automation with pricebook management is one of the best ways for stores to ensure they are profitable and staying competitive within the industry. With automation, vendor-cost files can be imported, avoiding manual updates and potential mistakes. The pricebook can also be managed centrally with retail calculated based on target margins, and then sent electronically to each of the stores, ensuring retailers are ringing up the correct prices at the register and maintaining their margins. Shift reporting that is comprehensive yet easy to use Automated shift reporting that is clear and digestible can help save time. By updating automatically from a POS system, manual number entry is avoided. With this task eliminated, shift reports are not something laborious and time-consuming for the manager. In the home office, they become streamlined and managed by exception. Discrepancies are clearly pointed out and remedied efficiently. Make inventory management seamless with automated scanning One of the most important goals of software automation is to eliminate human error. The days of recording inventory with Excel sheets or pen and paper are gone. Retailers can make inventory management less arduous by letting software do the work for them. Utilizing scanners makes inventory management efficient and, more importantly, accurate. Direct store delivery (DSD) can be scanned to help retailers have a better understanding of supplier actions and better control of the products in their stores. Scanning can also help track waste, giving retailers an opportunity to reduce shrinkage and improve overall inventory control. Transfers from store to store are never lost because scanning tracks these movements, helping those who manage inventory see the whole picture. Exception reporting and automatic notifications to drive focus Data analytics are important for measuring a business's profitability. While many marketing strategies may be used to increase sales, there are thousands of products to stay on top of in order to have a successful business. This is where exception reporting comes into play. Management by exception lets retailers set acceptable parameters. Scheduled reports that are automatically emailed can highlight anything that falls outside of these standards. This lets managers truly know there is something that needs attention. Rather than wasting time reading rows and rows of data, managers will know when it is time to act. Like exception reporting, automated alerts delivered in real-time can save hours during a work week. Alerts can be configured to be sent whenever a data point is out of an acceptable range. Write-offs, cash discrepancies, frequent voids and more can be sent, allowing any business outliers to be solved quickly. Use scan data to be more competitive Implementing an automatic export of scan data can save retailers money and make stores more profitable. POS scan data can be easily shared with distributors, manufacturers and marketing firms. They then offer discounts that can be passed right back to customers, allowing stores to be more competitive in their pricing. Tobacco scan data programs come with financial incentives to increase customer counts, sales and basket sizes. Vendors will also often use this data to help retailers with reordering and maintaining sponsored promotions. Software automation offers convenience stores a competitive edge. Streamlining essential tasks, enhancing efficiency and enabling data-driven decisions leads to more accuracy and profitability. Automation empowers managers to focus on customer service and management to focus on strategic growth initiatives, helping their operation run smoother and smarter than before.
