Inventory shrinkage reduction

Documented eligible loss at cost × an improvement you choose or observed in a pilot. No default 'typical' recovery percentage is supplied.

Your numbers

From your own stock records, valued at cost. Not an industry estimate.

Loss in areas a camera actually covers. The rest cannot be affected.

Start at zero. Use a figure a pilot measured, or your own judgement — no default is supplied.

Scenario, not a forecast

Eligible lossLoss not entered
Scenario benefit

Improvement is zero until you set it. That is deliberate: there is no typical recovery rate that is honest to apply to someone else’s shrinkage.

Treat the output as a hypothesis to test in a pilot, and keep it out of the cash line of a business case until measured.

How it is calculated

Scenario benefit = eligible loss × improvement. Reported as a scenario, never as cash saved.

Worked example

Documented loss ₹2,00,000 a month, half of it in areas cameras cover, and an assumed 20% improvement.

₹1,00,000 eligible, so the scenario benefit is ₹20,000 a month — as an assumption to test, not a forecast.

What this does not tell you

Loss must be documented, not estimated from industry averages. Cameras do not by themselves prove causation.
