Shop Shrinkage & Cashier Fraud Risk Quiz
7 quick questions. Indian retailers typically lose 1-3% of revenue to shrinkage — theft, billing gaps, and unrecorded stock loss — often without realising it. Find out your risk level.
1. Do you personally count the cash drawer every single day, without exception?
2. Can more than one staff member give discounts or cancel a bill without your approval?
3. Do you physically count inventory less than once a month?
4. Is there ever a gap of more than a few minutes between a sale happening and it being billed in your system?
5. Do you rely on staff memory/notebooks instead of a system for tracking "on credit" (udhaar) sales?
6. Has your recorded stock ever not matched your physical stock, and you weren't sure why?
7. Do you have CCTV or camera coverage at the billing counter?
Close these gaps automatically
Astra Atlas locks discount/cancel permissions per staff role, timestamps every transaction, and flags stock mismatches the moment they happen — so shrinkage gets caught, not discovered months later.
Frequently asked questions
What is retail shrinkage?
Shrinkage is inventory loss from theft (by staff or customers), billing errors, unrecorded damage, or poor stock tracking — the gap between what you should have and what you actually have.
How much shrinkage is normal?
Global retail benchmarks put shrinkage at 1-2% of revenue; unmonitored small shops in India often run higher due to manual billing and shared cash handling.
