Retailers of all segments and sizes are faced with many of the same challenges when it comes to their loss prevention efforts. Most notably, how to create a frictionless customer experience in an environment where inventory shrink has reached unprecedented levels. Listen in to hear Loss Prevention professionals Scott McBride and Joe Coll discuss how they are meeting this challenge by coupling traditional data sources with emerging smart sensor data to improve visibility, speed, and efficiency.

This session will be focused on the partnership between Law Enforcement and Retailers and how they can together leverage new technology to combat fraud and crime.

Retailers are experiencing significant criminal activity in and around their stores. However, not all stores are impacted equally. From shoplifting to organized retail crime, retailers are turning to geospatial technology and modeling to forecast which locations are more likely to experience an incident or be affected by criminal activity so they can prioritize resources and mitigate disruption. Join Dr. Grant Drawve from CAP Index as he shares his work modeling crime data using multiple types of data and geospatial tools to help retailers more accurately assess their risk and inform tactics for mitigating their impact.

In the beginning they called it “friendly-fraud” but today retailers know that fraud and abuse in the claims and appeasement operations is anything but.

Retailers face an evolving range of threats that risk the safety of their employees and customers - as well as their bottom line. This session will share proven strategies to detect and deter organized retail crime through effective collaboration with retailers, attorneys general, local law enforcement, and solution providers. Loss prevention leaders from Meijer, The Home Depot, and Kroger and an assistant attorney general for Michigan will explain how to best identify ORC risks and create strategies to mitigate them and successfully pursue bad actors. 

RFID has evolved dramatically.  These serialized labels now exist for products that in the past were considered untaggable, and they are routinely found on goods with ultra-low price points.  The technology has helped many retailers improve their loss detection and prevention capabilities.  Not surprisingly, interest from asset protection teams is at an all-time high.  To help you decide whether you too should begin putting RFID to work, this session will address common questions from retailers and consumer brands.  Regardless of what type of goods you sell and protect, this session is for you.
