Cashier Theft Detection
Cashier theft detection helps retailers identify sweethearting, pass-throughs, suspicious discounts, no-sales, voids, and refund behavior with video evidence attached.
Cashier theft often looks normal until video and transaction context are reviewed.
Store teams do not have time to review hours of video or chase alerts that turn out to be nothing. Panoptyc combines AI-assisted detection with human verification so retailers can focus on incidents that are worth action.
Sweethearting
A cashier intentionally fails to scan or undercharges someone they know.
Refund and void abuse
Questionable transactions are reviewed with camera context.
Repeat cashier patterns
Incidents can be grouped by employee, shift, lane, or store.
The signals that separate real loss from normal store noise.
| Signal | What Panoptyc looks for | Why retailers care |
|---|---|---|
| Pass-through | Items leave the lane without being scanned or paid for. | Loss becomes visible before it compounds. |
| Suspicious exception | Voids and refunds connect to void and refund abuse detection. | LP teams can focus on risky activity. |
| Verified clip | Panoptyc sends evidence after review. | Managers can act with confidence. |
How this turns into store-level action.
Detect the signal
Panoptyc connects existing cameras and store context to identify behavior that looks like loss.
Verify before action
Human review filters the event before an alert reaches a store team, reducing false positives and wasted labor.
Send usable evidence
The store gets a clear incident clip, the theft pattern, and enough context to coach, deter, document, or escalate.
