Monitor Suspicious Transactions with
Anti-Theft Alerts
for Your POS
Get instant notifications when suspicious activities happen at your NRS POS system. Monitor canceled transactions, manual discounts, refunds, and no-sales in real-time.
Why Your Store Needs
Anti-Theft Alerts
Every canceled transaction could be hiding stolen merchandise. Every unexplained refund might be cash walking out your door. Anti-Theft Alerts turns your NRS register into one of the most innovative POS systems for theft prevention, by sending instant notifications to your phone the moment these suspicious activities happen—whether it’s a voided sale in the middle of the day or a no-sale drawer opening at closing time.
For independent retailers juggling customers, deliveries, and inventory counts, these red flags slip by unnoticed. That’s precisely when profits disappear.
What is Anti-Theft Alerts?
Anti-Theft Alerts is an NRS Premium Feature that provides real-time monitoring, directly through your POS system. It watches for these specific red flags:
Canceled Transactions
Full transaction cancellations that could hide theft
Manual
Discounts
Significant price reductions entered manually
No-Sale Drawer Openings
Cash drawer access without a sale happening
Processed
Refunds
All refund transactions, discreetly tracked as they happen
The instant any of these activities occur, you receive a detailed push notification on your smartphone, via the My NRS Store app.
You’ll see exactly who did what, when they did it, and at which terminal—all within seconds. No more discovering problems at the end of the day when it’s too late. No more wondering why your drawer came up short. Just instant visibility into every suspicious transaction, wherever you are.
Powerful Features That Keep
You Protected
Instant Notifications for Suspicious Activity
Never miss another red flag. The moment your POS detects a canceled transaction, a manual discount, a no-sale drawer opening, or a processed refund, you receive a detailed push notification. See exactly who did what, when they did it, and at which terminal—all in real-time on
your phone.
Real-Time Oversight in the My NRS Store App
Transform your smartphone into a command center for loss prevention. The My NRS Store app displays comprehensive transaction details, including employee user info, terminal number, timestamp, and transaction type. Review suspicious patterns, track repeat offenders, and maintain complete visibility of your POS activity from anywhere.
Reduce Inventory Shrinkage & Protect Your Bottom Line
Industry studies show that employee theft accounts for 30% of business failures and costs retailers over $50 billion annually. Anti-Theft Alerts helps you join the fight against inventory shrinkage by identifying theft patterns early. Stop losing inventory, false refunds, and cash skimming before these small losses become significant problems.
Peace of Mind for Store Owners
Running an independent retail store means wearing many hats. Anti-Theft Alerts lets you focus on growing your business while maintaining security oversight. Whether you’re meeting with suppliers, spending time with family, or managing multiple stores, you’ll know exactly what’s happening at your POS terminals.
Empower Your Management & Improve Staff Accountability
When employees know their transactions are monitored, behavior improves dramatically. The Anti-Theft Alerts Premium Feature creates a culture of accountability without being invasive. Honest employees appreciate the protection from false accusations, while those considering theft think twice, knowing every suspicious action triggers an instant alert.
How it works:
Step 1:
Suspicious Activity Detected
Your NRS POS can continuously monitor for key risk indicators: canceled transactions, manual discounts, no-sale drawer openings, and refund processing. When any of these events occur, if designated for some or all of these alerts, the system instantly flags the transaction for review.
Step 2:
Instant Push Notification
Within seconds, you receive a detailed alert on your smartphone via the My NRS Store app. The notification includes the employee’s name, terminal ID, exact time, store location, and specific transaction details—everything you need to assess the situation immediately.
Step 3:
Review & Respond
Open the alert to see complete transaction details. Compare against sales reports, review patterns over time, and take appropriate action. Whether it’s a training opportunity or a serious violation, you have the evidence needed to address the situation professionally and effectively.
Don’t wait for suspicious patterns to become severe losses. Anti-Theft Alerts is available as a standalone Premium Feature, or included FREE in the Advanced and Elite software plans.
