Shoplifting and Opportunistic Theft
Retailers constantly face small-scale but frequent thefts from individuals who exploit crowded store environments or distracted staff. These incidents can add up to significant losses over time and are difficult to predict or eliminate completely.
Organized Retail Crime (ORC)
Sophisticated groups target high-value merchandise, often stealing in bulk and reselling goods online or through illicit markets. ORC is harder to detect and prevent because offenders are coordinated, fast, and knowledgeable about store layouts and vulnerabilities.
Employee Theft
Internal theft ranging from discount fraud and refund scams to stealing inventory remains one of the largest contributors to shrinkage. Preventing it requires a careful balance between trust, monitoring, and strong internal policies.
