Retailers worldwide are losing over $100 billion per year to shrinkage, and half of that is happening in North America. [Intelligent video analytics (IVA)](https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/autonomous-machines/intelligent-video-analytics-platform.md) can accurately and efficiently reduce shrinkage. By improving asset protection at points-of-sale and reducing shoplifting throughout the store, employees can work to stop loss in real time. Using existing camera systems, retailers can install IVA applications from NVIDIA software partners to improve asset protection and significantly reduce shrinkage.

Virtual worlds are essential for the next era of retail. Retailers such as [Lowe’s](https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-retail-nvidia-omniverse-assets/digital-twins-of-stores) are exploring how [NVIDIA Omniverse™](https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/omniverse/enterprise.md) can help them improve their stores with digital twins, simulation, and advanced tools that remove friction for customers and associates. #### Autonomous Shopping Provide a check-out free experience to shoppers. Intelligent grab-and-go stores, where customers use their mobile phones to check out, are jumping in popularity. Solutions range from AI-enabled shopping carts, to nano stores and smart cabinets, to fully [autonomous stores](https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-aifi-briefcase). With these solutions, retailers can provide customers with frictionless and faster shopping experiences, while increasing revenue and margins. #### Customer and Store Analytics Gain actionable store insights. Online-shopping data and in-store data generated from point-of-sale transactions, cameras, and sensors are rife with insights that help determine customer preferences. IVA data can provide demographics and create heatmaps to reveal popular traffic areas inside stores. Retailers are using this data to better understand customer behavior and buying preferences, deliver revenue-driving online and in-aisle promotions, and create enhanced shopping experiences.

When U.S. consumers are confronted with empty shelves, 20 percent postpone their purchase, 10 percent purchase the item elsewhere, and 16 percent shift to an online source, leading to retailers losing 46 percent of possible sales. Large retailers are using AI to handle critical, repetitive tasks such as inventory counts or scanning for [out-of-stock situations](https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-cooler-screens/cooler-screens-digit). [NVIDIA Metropolis](https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/autonomous-machines/intelligent-video-analytics-platform.md) can scan items to check stock levels and alert associates to restock, correct shelf location, and even adjust prices when needed. ### Success Stories ## Explore the Real-World Impact [More Success Stories](https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/case-studies.md) ## Solutions ## The Solutions—From Data Center to Edge to Cloud Learn about the AI hardware and software for retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG). ### Transform Data Into Valuable Insights With Metropolis, retailers can improve customer satisfaction, in-store analytics, and business efficiencies.
