How can fingerprint biometrics help to reduce staff theft?
To date many retailers have installed a range of digital locks with pin numbers, prox cards or swipe cards systems. Undoubtedly, these approaches provide a level of security. However, they can be easily compromised. As these systems only confirm the card or pin number is correct, rather than the actual person, a lost, stolen or even borrowed card can be used by a bogus user to gain access. Fingerprint biometrics proves they are who they say they are. This enhanced security is not restricted to back-end operations. EPOS biometrics is key to dealing with front-end fraudulent activities that occur on a daily basis. By eliminating staff impersonation, refunds, mark downs, discounts and gift voucher fraud can be dramatically reduced and the overall security infrastructure of the retailer strengthened.
