Shrinkage is a growing challenge for retailers worldwide, with losses estimated at $121.6 billion globally in 2024. Beyond financial impact, shrinkage erodes customer trust and strains store operations.
This is where DN Vynamic
® Smart Vision | Shrink Reduction delivers transformative results. Retailers leveraging this AI-powered solution can achieve:
- Up to 70% shrinkage reduction at self-checkouts
- 15% improvement for store colleagues’ efficiency due to reduced interventions
- Increased throughput as a result of faster processing due to improved accuracy
- An overall frictionless, improved customer experience
However, deploying AI effectively requires more than technology; it demands a clear, measurable business case.
A Structured Consulting Framework for Measurable Retail Outcomes
DN Advisory Services ensures retailers achieve this through a structured consulting framework:
1.
Discovery. We begin by understanding the retailer’s business strategy, goals, and objectives. This includes analyzing current shrinkage levels, operational workflows, and customer experience pain points. From these insights, we create a baseline business case that quantifies potential savings and efficiency gains.
2.
Develop Custom Strategies and Solutions. Next, we design tailored strategies and integrated technology solutions that directly support the defined objectives. This includes:
- Optimizing store layouts and workflows for efficiency
- Ensuring AI enhances convenience and customer experience
- Aligning technology deployment with operational realities
The result is a blueprint that balances shrinkage reduction with improved shopper satisfaction.
3.
Execute and Track Progress. With strategy and design in place, we move to implementation. Our structured rollout begins with a silent-mode pilot, validating functionality without disrupting operations. Once live, we measure progress against predefined KPIs such as:
- Shrinkage reduction rates
- Throughput and processing time improvements
- Reduction in store colleague interventions
This ensures the business case is validated in practice.
4.
Improvement Cycle. AI adoption is not a one-time project. We provide ongoing support and optimization to ensure sustained success. This includes:
- Continuous performance monitoring
- Training and enablement for store teams
- Scaling solutions responsibly based on proven results
