Loss Prevention : Simplified

The Business Situation

Criminal activity cost UK retailers £2.2bn in 2005*. And a staggering 53 percent of unseen losses are the result of employee theft. The retail market is increasingly competitive, which results in a continued demand to bring down the costs of shrink. Retailers are striving to reduce the financial impacts of fraud and the cost of detection. Limited time, resources and lack of automated processes, coupled with the volume of data involved, results in many retailers having to write-off significant losses. This results in higher prices for consumers and reduces shareholder value.
