Loss prevention, built into every lane
Always-on AI that detects and intervenes on loss events as they happen, on the checkout hardware you already own.
Recorded in store: a non-scan is detected, the shopper is prompted, the item is recovered.
Shrink is not one problem. It is a dozen small failures repeated thousands of times a day, most of which nobody sees until the stock count. Edgify catches them at the moment they happen, while the shopper is still at the lane.
What it detects
- Non-scans: item enters the bagging area with no corresponding scan
- Barcode switching: a cheaper barcode presented for a more expensive item
- Mislabelling: wrong PLU selected on a self-service scale, deliberately or not
- Items left in trolleys: bottom-of-basket goods never presented
- Sweethearting: suspicious assisted transactions at staffed lanes
How intervention works
Detection without intervention is just reporting. Edgify closes the loop on the device: the shopper sees an on-screen prompt to re-scan, or an attendant is alerted, before the transaction can complete. Most events resolve without human involvement and without accusation.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 01. Scan & Detect | Edgify analyses every checkout interaction in real time, on the terminal. |
| 02. Event Detected | Item placed in the bagging area without being scanned. |
| 03. Intervention | Shopper is prompted on-screen to re-scan; attendant alerted only if needed. |
| 04. Loss Recovered | Item re-scanned, event logged, recovered value attributed to the lane. |
Measuring it

Every intervention is logged with its outcome, so prevented loss is reported as a number rather than asserted as a benefit. In production, Edgify recovers 85%+ of the retailer loss it is deployed against.
Pilot on hardware you already own
A 12-week pilot runs on your existing self-checkouts and lanes. No new terminals, no server room, no rip-and-replace. That is the whole point: the objection to in-store AI has always been capital cost, and there isn't one here.
