Inventory differences

• Losses of 3.9 billion euros due to inventory differences in 2014
• Goods to the value of 26 euros are stolen per German citizen
• Every 200th shopping trolley passes the checkout without the goods being paid for

According to the study by the EHI Retail Institute, "Inventory Discrepancies 2015", inventory losses across the German retail sector totalled approx. 3.9 billion euros in the 2014 financial year. Around half of the losses can be attributed to shoplifting by dishonest customers. When viewed from a purely statistical point of view, the study therefore shows that each German citizen steals around 26 euros worth of retail goods per year. Projected to the food industry, this means that around every 200th shopping trolley passes the checkout without the goods being paid for. Wanzl can help you to reduce your inventory differences for the long term with the help of future-proof systems.
