The Sweethearting detection module is designed to prevent cases of intentional employee theft by scan avoidance at the cash register (sweethearting). The module works together with POS-Intellect software and Intellect Web Report System subsystem.

The Sweethearting detection module provides the following functions:

  1. Recognizing the events of scanning at cash registers in real-time video.
  2. Recording events of successful scanning to the event log. 
  3. Recording events of successful scanning to the database.

Theft facts are displayed in the Intellect Web Report System in the Sweethearting report. When creating the report, events from POS-Intellect and the Sweethearting detection module are compared. If the detection tool recorded the carrying the goods, but events from POS-Intellect were not recorded at that time, then the theft occurred. Other cases are considered normal. For more information about how to configure and work with POS-Intellect and Intellect Web Reports System, see POS-Intellect. Administrator's Guide and Intellect Web Report System. User guide (the latest versions of these documents are available in the AxxonSoft documentation repository).

The real theft detection probability is 50% in order to avoid frequent false triggerings of the detection tool. Though, multiple theft attempts will be detected with a 90% probability. Mainly theft detection probability depends on whether the requirements given in the Requirements for the Sweethearting detection module section are met.
