Self-Checkout Loss Prevention Solution

Reduce self-checkout loss, while keeping shopping frictionless. Real-time vision AI-based solution enables retailers to detect loss patterns, whether accidental or intentional, as they happen. Built with privacy by design.

Prevent loss without friction

Don't choose between reducing self-checkout loss and keeping the lanes flowing. Do both.

>75% losses recovered or deterred

Soft nudges, associate notifications, and per-store loss visibility recover or deter the majority of loss at the lane, accidental and deliberate.

Prevent known costly loss patterns

Tackle the patterns behind 90% of self-checkout loss: missed scans, intentionally skipped items, items left in basket, and abandoned transactions.

Built with privacy at its core

Item-based detection, no facial recognition or biometric identification. Designed to support retailers' GDPR obligations, ISO 27001 certified.

The self-checkout stand-off

  • As self-checkout grows, so does loss. Shoppers want to self-serve, it now handles 54% of transactions, where it’s available. Stores that run it carry losses 33% higher than those without (source).
  • Mistakes and deliberate loss look identical. Most missed scans are accidental, but retailers cannot reliably tell which is which, so associates must attend every flag.
  • The usual fixes punish everyone. Receipt gates, scales, item limits, and spot checks that can take over two minutes frustrate honest shoppers, tie up associates, and break the self-checkout promise.
  • Legacy detection is slow to deploy. Incumbent systems often need purpose-built AI hardware and months-long pilots to retrain their models, making them costly to scale.

How it works

Vision AI matches what the lane camera sees against the scanner and POS data, flagging potential loss before checkout completes so shoppers can self-correct in the majority of cases.

Monitor every checkout session

  • A lane camera powered by vision AI follows each self-checkout session in real time.
  • It correlates what it sees with the scanner and POS data stream.
  • It reads items and movement, never identifies shoppers, and runs locally in the store.

Prevent loss without friction

Loss prevention without the heavy infrastructure, complexity, or surveillance.

Privacy by design

Designed with privacy at its core. Analyzing items and transaction activity only means no facial or biometric identification. Video is processed on the station, designed to support retailers in meeting their GDPR obligations, backed by ISO 27001.

Software-first, hardware-flexible

Deploys as a lightweight API, integrating with existing POS and self-checkout software. It works with existing infrastructure, including cameras above the lane, eliminating purpose-built AI hardware to lower TCO.
