Do you actually know how much of your store inventory is walking out the door?

Inventory counts are done quarterly or annually, so theft & loss spreads silently.

POS sales don't get reconciled against purchase receipts & scan data, so you can't tell the difference between theft, miscounts, and vendor short-ships.

High-shrink categories (tobacco, energy drinks, beer) are lumped in with low-shrink categories — so the real problem hides.

Without a shrinkage % benchmark, you don't know if 2% is great or terrible for your mix.

Store shrinkage tracking requires category-level c-store inventory management — a blended inventory number tells you nothing about where the loss is happening.

Without proper convenience store accounting for inventory, gas station owners can't separate internal theft from vendor shorts from scan-data errors — and each requires a different fix.
