Shrink Management Solutions

Shrink: the high cost of retail theft

Retailers are facing increased pressure on their profits from the high cost associated with shrink, which cost them $115 billion globally* in 2009. Not only does shrink erode retailers’ profit margins by as much as nearly 40%, it also wreaks havoc on shelf availability and inventory accuracy. And as industry research has shown, if customers cannot find the product they are seeking at one store, they often buy it at a competitor's store or web site.
