Loss prevention, staff access, checkout and inventory run from one connected platform, so shrinkage goes down, and the customer experience never suffers for it.
The reality of running a store
Not theoretical threats, but the things store managers deal with every shift.
Staff theft is one of the largest and hardest-to-detect sources of stock loss in retail.
Busy sales floors need deterrence and evidence without making customers feel watched.
Seasonal and part-time staff need fast, secure onboarding and equally fast access removal.
Slow, card-heavy checkout processes cost sales at exactly the moment a customer is ready to pay.
Backrooms and cash offices need tight control without slowing down busy shop-floor staff.
The same security and reporting standards need to apply identically across every location.
The integrated solution
Retailers lose more to shrinkage than almost any other cause of operating cost, and it rarely comes from one place. Staff theft, shoplifting, till discrepancies and stock loss all need catching at the same time, often across dozens of stores.
Arana connects access control, checkout, time & attendance and CCTV into one platform, so a shift change, a stock discrepancy or a suspicious transaction all show up in the same place.
Loss prevention works best when it’s built into the till, the door and the stockroom, not bolted on as a separate system.

Why Arana
We’re a specialist integrator, not a call-centre-scale vendor. You deal directly with senior engineers from the first site survey onwards, and with a team that takes the time to understand how your organisation actually operates.
Speak with the engineer who set up your stores, not a support queue starting from zero.
New stores, staff and till changes are actioned in days, not a vendor’s quarterly release cycle.
Systems built around your tills, stockrooms and store layouts, not a generic retail template.
The team that installs your systems is the same team accountable when stock goes missing.
Tell us how your store runs, and we’ll show you what a fully connected, loss-prevention-ready system looks like on your floor plan.
