Shrink costs retailers $100 billion annually and 64% of retail shrink is associated with operational shrink, including cashier errors, waste and scan file errors. By adding Digimarc Barcode to thermal labels, you can make it easy for cashiers to scan damaged and ripped labels, avoiding the need for cashiers to manually hand key product codes that can result in errors and lead to operational shrink. And when Digimarc on packaging is used in conjunction with Datalogic’s LaneHawk LH5000, retailers can easily detect bottom-of basket items and reduce shrink.
