Stop Employee Theft Before It Starts: Tools You Already Have

Turn Everyday Features Into Powerful Theft Deterrents.

POS Features That Detect and Deter Internal Theft

Stay in control of sales, staff, and shrinkage with these essential daily and weekly POS reports.

User permissions allow you to control what each employee can do in the POS system. Not every staff member should have access to sensitive functions like voiding sales, applying manual discounts, or opening the cash drawer without a transaction.

How it helps:

  • Prevents unauthorized discounts or voids.

  • Limits the ability to manipulate transactions.

  • Ensures only managers can approve critical actions.
