EthicAI Recommendations Action items for July 2026
-
🚨
URGENT Add a second floor monitor on Fridays and Saturdays
61% of all high-priority events occur on weekends. A single additional staff member visible on the floor on these two days is estimated to reduce shoplifting events by 35–50%. ROI: immediate. Cost: one part-time shift. Savings: est. R5,000–R8,000/month.
-
⚠️
URGENT Review staff member on Till 2 — sweet-hearting suspected
Clip from 11 June (14:33) shows multiple items scanned as single item on three separate transactions over a 6-day period. Total exposure: est. R2,400. Clip has been preserved and is ready for HR review and CCMA-compliant disciplinary action.
-
📋
ACTION Raise formal short-delivery dispute with ABC Foods
Cam 5 verified shortfall of 8 units (24 June delivery). Invoice vs. received count: documented. EthicAI has prepared a clip and written summary ready for supplier dispute. Estimated recovery: R1,240. Supplier contact details on file.
-
🕐
ACTION Implement a cash drop policy at R3,000 — not R5,000
Till 2 had three instances of over R4,000 in the drawer for extended periods. Reducing your cash drop trigger to R3,000 minimises exposure in the event of a till breach. EthicAI will monitor compliance and alert if tills exceed the threshold.
-
💡
INSIGHT Open a 3rd till between 11:30am–1:30pm daily
Peak footfall (12pm–1pm avg 219 customers) with only 2 tills active on 11 of 22 weekdays caused queues of 8+ people on multiple occasions. Customer abandonment estimated at 4–7 lost transactions/day. Estimated lost revenue: R3,200–R5,600/month.
-
📈
INSIGHT Perimeter lighting is inadequate — west fence, Cam 8 zone
Both perimeter breaches occurred at the same section of the west fence between 02:00–04:00 AM. Improved lighting in this zone reduces breach probability by an estimated 70%. EthicAI can configure a motion-trigger alert for that zone exclusively after 11pm.
