What We Do

End-to-end analytics for retail loss prevention

POSI 4 — Point-of-Sale Insights — delivers specialist data services that surface suspicious transaction patterns across large retail environments. Our work is built for investigation teams, not dashboards.

01

Transaction Pattern Analysis

We apply a rules-based analytical engine to point-of-sale data, identifying patterns consistent with known loss scenarios — including staff-facilitated fraud and procedural breaches.

02

Automated Data Pipelines

From source system to structured output, we build and maintain robust ingestion and transformation pipelines on AWS cloud infrastructure — reliable, scalable, and low-maintenance.

03

Investigation-Ready Reporting

Outputs are designed for the people who act on them. Filtered, prioritised, and formatted to support field investigations — minimising false positives and maximising lead quality.

How We Work

Precision over volume

Our approach is anchored in a single principle: investigation time is expensive. A lead that doesn't convert wastes resources and erodes confidence in the data. Everything we build is optimised to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio of what reaches the investigation team.

We ingest raw point-of-sale transaction data — typically exported from source systems on a daily cycle — and route it through a proprietary rules-based transformation layer. This layer applies pattern logic refined over years of operational use, producing structured outputs that highlight high-confidence anomalies.

Delivery is tailored to the client's workflow. We work with existing tooling — whether business intelligence platforms or direct file delivery — to ensure findings reach the right people in a format they can act on immediately.

About

A boutique consultancy built on depth, not scale

POSI 4 — short for Point-of-Sale Insights — is an Australian data consultancy specialising in retail analytics and loss prevention. We are a deliberately small operation, structured to maintain deep expertise and close client relationships rather than broad coverage.

Our work sits at the intersection of data engineering, retail operations, and investigative support. We bring enterprise-grade analytical capability to clients who need precision and reliability without the overhead of large consulting arrangements.

Based in Australia. Focused on results.
