Retail inventory shrinkage isn’t just caused by external shoplifting—internal cashier fraud and unmonitored overrides account for a significant percentage of retail losses across Africa.

Key security safeguards every modern POS must enforce:

1. Mandatory Supervisor Approval: Require manager PIN approval for line-item voids, bill cancellations, and manual price overrides.

2. Blind Cash Drawer Reconciliation: Cashiers enter total physical cash counted at end-of-shift without seeing expected POS totals beforehand, preventing cash tampering.

3. Immutable Audit Trails: Every drawer open event, receipt reprint, and discount application is timestamped and tied directly to the logged-in staff member.

With Pixel Point Now, security controls are configured at the role level, ensuring complete auditability and peace of mind for business owners.
