āFraud doesnāt announce itself. It hides in the gap between what a receipt says happened and what a camera shows actually happened,ā said Michael Scott, CMO of Solink. āWhen an employee processes a return with no customer in frame, Solink flags it instantly, pairing the POS transaction with timestamped video and routing it directly to loss prevention for investigation. No manual digging, no delay. The calculus around committing fraud changes entirely when you know every transaction has eyes on it.ā

Solinkās AI continuously scans data across all connected locations, flagging anomalies in real time and instantly pairing them with corresponding timestamped video footage, eliminating the manual, time-intensive investigation process that has long defined retail loss prevention.
