Minimizing Preventable Loss In All Its Forms

Preventable loss comes in many forms in the grocery, supermarket, and food retail industries. Thefts, markdowns, human error, and perishable shrink can all eat away at already dwindling profit margins. Add a massive shift in consumer taste and shopping preferences disrupting the industry and it's clear that getting a handle on margin erosion may be the difference between surviving and thriving in the competitive grocery landscape.

Protect your hard-won profits using data analytics to automatically flag activities indicating preventable loss, all while improving margins, increasing sales, and ensuring a consistent customer experience.

Identify Fraud and Theft
  • Detect internal theft by automatically flagging suspicious voids, transfers, and out-of-policy discounts
  • Flag indicators of external theft like gift card fraud and promotion abuse
  • Confirm suspicious behavior with CCTV video of the transaction
Control Perishable Shrink
  • Compare food cost trends to item sales to identify variances in meat/deli, fresh produce, bakery, seafood, dairy, and floral departments
  • Identify training gaps in merchandising, food safety, proper handling, rotation, and ordering impacting shrink
Improve Labor Productivity
  • Compare employee performance metrics to identity high and underperformers
  • Revise hiring and training practices to minimize turn-over costs
  • Analyze sales by day, channel, and daypart to optimize scheduling
Ensure Manager Follow-up
  • Define potential causes and acceptable follow-up to recurring problems
  • Validate that every issue has been appropriately addressed in the field
Optimize the Omnichannel
  • Keep your KPIs front and center for third-party delivery, click-and-collect, self-checkout, and other emerging channels
  • Deliver a consistent experience regardless of purchasing or payment method
Fine-Tune Operations
  • Use data-driven insights to influence policy and process improvements
  • Minimize risk to both customers and employees
