Case Study: a leading home improvement retailer achieves reduced inventory shrinkage with Centific's computer vision platform

Leading Home Improvement Retailer - Customer Case Study

Centific assisted a leading home improvement retailer that was facing a major challenge with inventory shrinkage at the point of sale, which was costing an estimated $300 million. The retailer needed an effective way to identify and reduce these significant losses.

Using its platform, Centific deployed an advanced computer vision solution that integrated one IP camera per checkout lane with NVIDIA edge computing for real-time analysis. This implementation led to automated early detection of potential shrink events. The results were substantial, including a reduction in shrinkage worth $180 million per year and a saving of 75 labor hours per week across 175 participating stores.
