Sensormatic Solutions has been recognized for its innovative approach to loss prevention. One of the brand’s newest LP solutions—Shrink Analyzer—was named Retail Security Solution of the Year at the 2025 RetailTech Breakthrough Awards, which honor the top companies and technologies shaping the future of retail.
Retailers continue to face critical challenges from shrink, fraud, and organized retail crime, all of which undermine revenue and erode customer confidence. According to the 2024 Impact of Retail Theft & Violence report by the National Retail Federation, shoplifting incidents increased by 93 percent between 2019 and 2023, with a 90 percent rise in dollar losses during the same period.
Shrink Analyzer helps retailers take control back from bad actors by providing actionable insights into loss events across store locations. Beyond merely tracking losses, the tool empowers retailers to identify the root causes of shrink and take proactive steps to mitigate them. By analyzing data from RFID systems and item-level inventory, Shrink Analyzer offers a clear view of where, when, and how shrink occurs—enabling targeted interventions to reduce loss and improve operational efficiency.
The latest enhancement to the platform, launched in January 2025, extends its functionality beyond store exits and into other critical areas, such as employee entrances, receiving doors, and buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS) locations. This expanded scope allows retailers to integrate more data into the analytics engine and better contextualize total retail loss. With this expanded visibility, retailers gain a comprehensive view of loss hotspots and can act with greater precision to address vulnerabilities.
Retailers can now:
-
Monitor point-of-entry-specific inventory distortion for more accurate loss tracking
-
Detect employee-driven loss, which accounts for a significant portion of shrink
-
Generate actionable insights into the financial impact of shrink, including detailed cost analyses by category and department
-
Strengthen defenses against ORC while maintaining a seamless in-store customer experience
Shrink Analyzer is more than just a tool—it is a game-changer. By transforming how retailers approach and combat shrink, it improves security and drives profitability.
