Shrink Kills Profits Quietly.
We Help You Expose and Eliminate It.
At McCausey Security Group, we understand that inventory shrink is more than just a loss-it's a silent threat to your profitability, operations, and credibility. Shrink hides in small details, unnoticed behaviors, and gaps in process-and when left unaddressed, it adds up quickly.
That's why we offer a system-wide, data-informed approach to shrink reduction that goes beyond surface-level fixes. Our solutions combine auditing, analytics, awareness, and accountability to detect, analyze, and eliminate loss across your business.
Our Shrink Reduction Services Include:
1. Comprehensive Shrink Audits
We perform in-depth reviews of your processes, inventory systems, point-of-sale data, and frontline behavior to identify where shrink is occurring and why. These audits uncover both procedural gaps and behavioral risks.
2. Exception Reporting and Exception-Based Management
We leverage exception reports from your POS, inventory, and CCTV systems to detect unusual patterns in returns, voids, markdowns, and no-sales-enabling faster investigations and proactive interventions.
3. Employee and Manager Awareness Training
We train your team to recognize red flags, follow best practices, and understand their role in shrink prevention. Our sessions are practical, scenario-based, and adapted to your business environment
4. Anti-Theft Technologies (EAS, CCTV, RFID)
We consult on the design, placement, and optimization of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies to deter and detect theft.
5. Cash Handling, Receiving, and Return Policy Improvements
We help tighten the controls around high-risk functions by reviewing and improving your cash handling procedures, receiving processes, and returns authorization systems to close common shrink loopholes.
6. Vendor Fraud Detection
We identify patterns and behaviors associated with supplier-based loss, including short shipping, overbilling, substitution fraud, and collusion-protecting your supply chain integrity.
7. SKU-Level Investigation Programs
We design programs that allow for the tracking of losses at the item level, helping identify trends and pinpoint problematic SKUs, departments, or shifts where loss is concentrated
8. Item History Data Collaboration
We work with your internal data team to analyze the history of high-shrink items across store locations, identifying patterns and contributing factors for targeted, permanent solutions.
9. Focus Using the 80/20 Rule
We help your organization apply the Pareto Principle to loss prevention-targeting the top 20% of items, processes, or behaviors that contribute to 80% of your shrink for maximum impact.
10. Shrink and Safety Action Plans
We guide the development of action plans that outline corrective steps, assign responsibility, and set measurable, time-bound goals to ensure that improvements stick.
11. Regular Shrink Meetings and Monthly Awareness Campaigns
Accountability drives change. We help you establish a rhythm of shrink-focused team meetings supported by monthly themes and awareness campaigns that reinforce best practices.
