SHRINKAGE TRACKING
Shrinkage tracking software that shows where margin goes
Shrink is the gap between what your books say you have and what is on the shelf. Capsultory records every loss with a reason, finds unexplained shortages through cycle counts, and values it all at cost by product and store.
What you get
Loss by reason
Waste, damage, theft, donations and count corrections each have their own reason.
Valued at cost
Loss is valued at cost so it matches your books, not retail price.
Unexplained shortages
Cycle counts that come up short are shown separately as unexplained loss.
By product and store
See which products and stores lose the most, and which reasons drive it.
Full history
Every adjustment records who made it, when and why.
Activity export
Export the activity history as CSV or PDF for loss prevention reviews.
How it works
Record known loss
Log expired, broken or donated stock as it happens.
Cycle count
Count high risk items weekly with a phone.
Review the dashboard
Check loss by reason and product each week.
Act on patterns
Move, lock or reorder differently where loss repeats.
A practical guide
Known loss versus unknown loss
Waste and damage you can see. Unknown loss shows up only when a count comes in short. Tracking them separately tells you whether the fix is handling or security.
Value it at cost
Retail value overstates loss. Cost value is what the shrink actually took out of your margin.
Count the right things often
A weekly count of the 50 items most likely to walk out finds more shrink than a yearly count of everything.
