A cannabis retailer’s guide to reducing shrink and inventory variances

Shrink is a double-edged threat for cannabis retailers – it drains profit and puts compliance at risk. In an industry where every gram is logged and regulated, even small discrepancies can become major financial and regulatory problems.

This guide looks at five key ways that cannabis retailers can leverage AI-driven video intelligence to prevent loss, protect compliance, and drive measurable ROI:

  1. Detect and verify suspicious activity with video proof.
  2. Unify data from cameras, POS records, and METRC logs.
  3. See the context behind every inventory variance.
  4. Automate daily audits and stay compliance-ready.
  5. Scale AI-driven loss prevention across multiple stores.

Most cannabis shrink and inventory variance issues aren’t caused by a lack of data, they’re caused by disconnected data. Traditional systems weren’t designed for the industry’s’ unique blend of compliance pressure, high-value product, and mandatory audit trails.

Cloud-based video intelligence is transforming how cannabis retailers prevent shrink, verify compliance, and manage multi-location operations. When video is paired with POS and seed-to-sale data, operators get a complete picture of every discrepancy – not just the numbers, but the story behind them.
