Before Glimpse, even with a manager on the floor or with secret shoppers, some employees found a way to cheat the system. Now they know we’re watching and it’s black and white

Inventory Counting Services

Frequent inventory comparisons to POS whether done by employees or outsourced services do not give management more information than they have by comparing purchases to POS over a time period. These services, scales, applications, and scanners serve to support the inventory status. Such services do not assist in reducing the loss problems.

POS Sales Data Analysis

Analysis of POS data results in closer tracking and highlighting of anomalies such as frequency and time of comps, voids, check adjustments etc. The reports are helpful in understanding areas of concern and drilling down to potential employee issues, however the anomalies reported back may not be relevant (as no infraction took place) and will constitute poor time investment for the operator having to review this reporting. Furthermore, this solution is equally ineffective as only data that has been registered can be analyzed, the actual sales transactions that are not registered are excluded. (product that is being served and not rung up).

Script Insertion Systems — Inserting pos data in video

Script insertion is used to ascertain sales concerns after the fact. POS data is inserted into video so that a search of a product item from the register will bring up the related video when the cash register was used. These systems focus on the area of the cash register, they do not track sales transactions before being registered.

Why Your Traditional Gadgets are Obsolete

Guns and Tethered Rings

Because these systems control the point of sale they have a negative customer impact and therefore are rarely used in casual or fine dining. They are efficient for delivering quick service and allowing for the inventory to remain in a remote location. The class and type product controlled by such systems is limited.

Wireless Pour Spouts, Bottle Rings

These systems can be gamed, the hardware is easily lost and vandalized, batteries are required. Hassle, training and attention is required to manage databases and hardware. The systems are limited to wine and liquor bottles. The reports are often inaccurate and require training and time to work with.
