Intelligent Fraud Prevention

Alfred SCO offers several features for loss prevention during self-checkout.

Items can be verified by using one or several of the following anti-theft solutions:

 
  • EAS/RFID tag deactivation
  • A security scale in the bagging area that verifies that the scanned item’s weight matches the weight database
  • Intelligent tri-light with an integrated security camera that detects which product it being scanned and uncovers any type of scan avoidance and other types of schemes.

Any discrepancies are recorded and the self-checkout attendant as well as the store’s security team can be alerted.

Partner Tech’s SCO solution also offers the option of a cash management module with coin and paper bill recycling.
 







SCO Software that Adjusts to Your Needs

Partner Tech’s SCO solution includes self-checkout software modules with intuitive step-by-step instructions for the shopper. It has a customizable flow and easy-to-configure GUI.

Integration with Peripherals and AI for Loss Prevention
The software controls all peripherals such as scale, bar code scanner, tri-light, and security cameras and with the AI software module retailers are able to  artificial interpret data and prevent different theft scenarios. As an example, the item’s weight can be checked against the weight data base and footage from the security camera can be used to validate that all items are scanned and paid for.

Integration with POS via API
Partner Tech offers an API toolkit that enables a faster and easier integration with the retailer’s POS and loyalty systems as well as other ISV solutions. The system is easily scalable and upgradeable at a later time.
 


Real-time Monitoring

Partner Tech’s cloud-based SCO monitoring software gives retailers real-time visibility to how their stores are performing. It proactively tracks activities at the checkout, including:
  • Interventions
  • Number of transactions
  • Average basket size
  • Cash vs. credit card transactions
  • Associate productivity
  • System health
  • How many SCO stations are open
  • and more
 
Certain events can trigger an alert to be sent to a store associate, store manager, or the store’s IT support.
 
  • Smarter decisions based on facts

    With better insights, retailers can make smarter decisions and take action to improve the performance and profitability of the SCO system. This valuable data makes the difference between failure and success. As an example, with visibility to the top items that cause interventions, retailers can take measures to reduce fraud and make small adjustments to make the SCO more efficient to use.
  • Dashboard and Detailed Data

    Partner Tech's monitoring module provides both a real-time dashboard with a quick overview of current issues as well as detailed reports with ability to benchmark stores against each other and view the historical data.
     

    Retailers can choose to manage the SCO monitoring themselves, but we strongly recommend that Partner Tech or a certified partner assists during the startup phase to ensure a successful rollout
