RETAIL INDUSTRY
Stop shrinkage where it starts — at the tills and scales.
CURA connects directly to your store’s back-office server — already live on both the Spar and Pick n Pay networks — and pulls every till transaction and scale operation. That means complete visibility over the exact moments where most retail fraud actually happens.
THE PROBLEM
Retail shrinkage is a quiet profit killer
For most retailers, shrinkage is invisible until it shows up as a gap in the numbers. Cashiers, supervisors, scale operators and receiving staff carry out dozens of high-risk transaction types every day. Without proper verification, you simply do not know where the losses are happening.
Void fraud
A supervisor voids a transaction after items have already left with the customer.
Return manipulation
Returns are processed for products that were never actually handed back to the store.
Scale abuse
High-value items are weighed and sold under cheaper product codes, creating immediate losses.
Sweethearting
Cashiers allow friends or family to leave with unpaid or deliberately under-scanned items.
Double scanning
Receiving operators scan the same crate or item twice to conceal theft or stock discrepancies.
Margin erosion
Service departments repeatedly miss projected gross profit with no clear operational explanation.
THE SOLUTION
CURA — your shrinkage management system
CURA integrates directly with your retail network — already live on both Spar and Pick n Pay — connecting to your local store’s back-office server to automatically pull and analyse every transaction in real time. No manual exports. No guesswork. Just complete, auditable oversight of your entire front line, from every till to every scale.
HOW CURA WORKS
From transaction capture to verified evidence
01
Connect to your back office
CURA integrates directly with both the Spar and Pick n Pay networks with no disruption to operations and no unnecessary hardware complexity.
02
Capture every transaction
Till and scale transactions are pulled automatically and continuously, including voids, returns, sales, scale weights and related activity.
03
Analyse and flag anomalies
CURA’s rules engine classifies transactions and surfaces activity that needs a second look before suspicious behaviour becomes a pattern.
04
Video audit flagged events
Flagged transactions are matched to CCTV footage and reviewed by trained video auditors, delivering verified evidence rather than suspicion.
05
Receive incident reports instantly
Incidents are logged, timestamped and sent to the right people with transaction data and video attached, ready for action.
06
Compare and benchmark
See how your store’s shrinkage performance compares with similar retail outlets and identify exactly where improvement is required.
