NDIS for Retail · Employee Fraud & Loss Prevention

Catch employee fraud. Close investigations in minutes.

Most retail shrink walks out with the people you trust — through refunds, voids, sweethearting, discount abuse and cash handling at the register. NDIS correlates POS & EPOS exceptions with synchronized CCTV and access events, so loss-prevention teams move straight from a flagged transaction to the exact video, build the evidence, and close internal investigations without scrubbing hours of footage.

Most shrink doesn't walk in — it works here.

A large share of retail loss is internal — and it rarely looks like theft. It looks like a refund, a void, a markdown, a no-sale: ordinary transactions, run by trusted staff, hidden inside thousands of legitimate ones every day. The evidence to prove it exists, but it's scattered across the point-of-sale system, the camera network and the access logs — three systems that were never designed to talk to each other.

Three systems that never talk to each other.

The POS records the transaction. CCTV records the lane. Access control records who was in the cash office and stockroom. Each lives in its own silo, on its own clock — so confirming that a refund was fraudulent means manually matching a transaction timestamp to a camera, then scrubbing footage to find the exact moment it happened.

Meanwhile the tell-tale patterns — repeat refunds to the same card, post-voids after cash tender, no-sales, markdown overrides — sit buried in exception reports that no one has time to review. Cases stall waiting for someone to line the evidence up by hand, and the behavior continues.

// The cost of fragmentation

In retail, the gap between suspicion and proof is measured in hours of footage review per case — time that lets fraud continue and pushes most internal-loss cases to the bottom of the pile.

From flagged transaction to closed case — in minutes, not days.

Internal investigations stall because the evidence is scattered. NDIS does the stitching for you — binding every POS exception to the camera that saw it and the access events around it, so an investigator opens one connected record instead of cross-referencing three systems by hand.

Stop scrubbing footage by hand.

When an exception is flagged, the matching video is already pulled to the exact second and the relevant access events are attached. No timestamp matching, no manual footage review — the moment is waiting when the investigator opens the case.

Refunds, voids, discounts and cash events that fit a known fraud pattern surface automatically, grouped by cashier, register and store. A manual hunt becomes a prioritized queue; a multi-day review becomes a single, audit-ready case file.

POS & EPOS exceptions and known fraud patterns are flagged automatically across every register and store.

// 02

Link

Each exception binds to the synchronized camera and access events for that lane — clip cued to the second.

// 03

Build

Transactions, video and access logs assemble into one connected, tamper-evident case file as you work.

// 04

Resolve

Export an audit-ready evidence package for HR, loss prevention or law enforcement — consistent every time.

The patterns that drive internal loss — each one tied to its evidence.

These are the transactions that look ordinary until you see the video behind them. NDIS recognizes each pattern, links it to the camera and access events that prove it, and assembles the case — so loss-prevention teams act on facts, not hunches.

// CASE 01P1

Refund & return fraud

Refunds with no customer present, returns credited to a cashier's own card, and fake returns against fictitious receipts — flagged and matched to the lane video the moment they post.

Triggers: POS · refund · CCTV
// CASE 02P1

Voids & no-sale cash theft

Post-voids after a cash tender and no-sale drawer opens used to pocket cash — correlated with the register video and cash-office access so the skim is provable, not just suspected.

Triggers: POS · cash · CCTV
// CASE 03P2

Sweethearting & scan avoidance

Goods passed to friends, items skipped past the scanner, and pretend-scans at the register — surfaced where the item count and the basket on camera don't agree.

Triggers: POS · analytics · CCTV
// CASE 04P2

Discount & price-override abuse

Unauthorized markdowns, repeated manager-override use and employee-discount sharing — grouped by cashier and register so abuse stands out against the team's baseline.

Triggers: POS · override
// CASE 05P2

Gift card & loyalty fraud

Cards activated without payment, balances siphoned at the register and loyalty points diverted — tied to the transaction and the operator behind it.

Triggers: POS · gift card
// CASE 06P3

Back-office & after-hours access

Stockroom, cash office and safe entries that fall outside a shift's pattern — surfaced with the verifying camera and access log, so internal theft away from the till doesn't go unseen.

Triggers: ACS · CCTV
