LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Thorntons Inc. has rolled out Trax Retail Solutions' ShrinkTrax after a successful pilot project. Trax Retail Solutions offers loss-prevention, store operations control and profit optimization solutions for retail.

ShrinkTrax is a complete system of smart technology and best practices. Our managers and executives will be immediately alerted to shrink problems and can monitor and measure cashier and operational effectiveness. Quick access to useable' information is key to our success, said Tony Miller, senior vice president of Thorntons [image-nocss] Inc.
