Because RetailNext integrates your transaction data with other sources, the platform offers powerful capabilities that are beyond the norm for POS exception reporting systems.  And by combining this capability with other necessary in-store functions like traffic counting and loss prevention video systems, you can realize extreme savings in capital expenditures and ongoing service and maintenance.

Use cases

POS exception reporting can help you in these areas:

THEFT REDUCTION.  By giving you greater visibility to what’s going on at the register and highlighting suspect behaviors, POS exception reporting is an indispensable tool in reducing shrinkage, internal theft, credit and gift card fraud, and cash shortages.  Not only it is easier to resolve known cases and perform audits, but knowing that these capabilities are in place has been shown to reduce the frequency of employee dishonesty.

FASTER RESOLUTION OF CASES.  By giving you instant access to searchable, sortable data and video on 100% of transactions, a POS exception reporting system can enable the fast resolution of cases and reduce your own LP staff’s time invested.

TRAINING AND OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENT.  Exception reporting offers an excellent view into the KPIs that drive your stores’ success.  Use this functionality to find and act on systematic inefficiencies or opportunities for improvement.  Plus you can easily identify low-performing stores and cashiers for additional training and focus – or high-performing ones for recognition and to discover new best practices.
