The challenge
Overcoming traditional shrinkage management
A leading off-price retailer faced persistent challenges with their conventional shrinkage monitoring approach, which relied heavily on semi-annual reporting and outdated methodologies. Their existing system struggled to provide timely insights, making it increasingly difficult to implement effective loss prevention strategies across their extensive retail network. With industry shrinkage rates averaging between 5-10% annually, the need for a more sophisticated and responsive solution became increasingly critical.
