How much shrink is walking out of your micro markets?

At the 2026 NAMA Show, Panoptyc's Bridger Keeley shared a reality many operators know all too well: micro market theft is averaging 6% to 7%, and often goes undetected until margins take the hit.

In this video, Keeley explains how AI-powered computer vision is helping operators identify repeat offenders, reduce shrink and gain visibility into what is really happening inside their markets.

Among the takeaways:
• Theft rates continue to rise
• Operators are seeing 30%+ shrink reduction within 90 days
• New tools are extending beyond theft detection into market health, merchandising and service accountability
• Visibility and client communication remain critical to reducing losses

If you've ever wondered how much theft is costing your operation, this conversation is worth a watch.

Technology conversations at the 2026 NAMA Show focused on more than new products. Operators and suppliers discussed AI-driven theft prevention, workflow efficiency, digital media, payments and the operational tools helping convenience services evolve.
