Inventory Shrinkage & Loss Prevention Dashboard

Overview

Inventory shrinkage is one of the biggest hidden costs in retail — caused by theft, damage, or operational errors. Data about these losses is usually scattered across POS systems, warehouse databases, and spreadsheets, making it hard for teams to pinpoint where and why losses occur.The Inventory Shrinkage & Loss Prevention Dashboard built with Retool centralizes this data into one live view. It connects to your sales, inventory, and operations systems to display shrinkage by product, location, or category. Teams can identify patterns, track losses over time, and respond fast when shrinkage spikes — reducing waste and protecting profit margins.
