Retail Fraud - Wickes to present

charlottemottram — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 08:18:13 GMT

I thought you might be interested to know, that Retail Fraud this year will be on the 20th April at the Novotel, Hammersmith W6 8DR

Phil Smith – Loss Prevention Manager - Wickes shall be presenting at 1:30 in the Technology stream.

Please see synopsis below:

Take Control – Prevent Stock Loss
In today’s demanding environment it’s essential to continually search for ways to gain competitive edge. One way in which Wickes gain an advantage is through independent stock counts performed by Orridge for a range of 6,000+ products. In doing so it provides an up-to-date stock file and insight into areas of potential weakness, not only in-store but within the entire supply chain for a portfolio of over 190 outlets. Wickes inventory is crucial to delivering the stock loss strategy to which Orridge provides a pivotal role in delivering confidence in stock cycles, ensuring shrinkage reduction actions that can be aligned with assurance.

I hope to see you there.

Regards

Charlotte :hehe:

Encourage reporting of internal theft

jimbob4ever — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:06:49 GMT

If you have any advise, tips I would appreciate it.

I have recently discovered a form of internal theft to which there is no easy solution to prevent it in the near future. I wanted to display a sign in the staff room / area basically encouraging an open door policy for staff to report colleagues if they are suspicious of internal theft.

Does anyone use such a thing please? Any idea's?

Thanks

Jim

Top level categories needed please

Lynn — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:31:33 GMT

Any chance that top level categories could be added for?:
1: Credit Card Fraud
2: Other online Fraud

None of the top level categories seem to incorporate these.
Anyone else agree that these are needed in this type of forum?
Thanks.
Lynn

What are your top loss prevention new years resolutions?

charlottemottram — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:50:35 GMT

We have spoken to 10 of our major Retailers and the reduction in stockholdings in stockrooms since the recession has reduced by 20% on average. This is resulting in retailers managing stock more efficiently ultimately leading to improved company results.

What are your top loss prevention new years resolutions?

Id be keen to hear your thoughts....

SimonK — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:55:27 GMT

Retail Fraud is one of the hottest topics for retailers today, and features high on the agenda. Why? Quite simply, because by tackling fraud in all its complexities, retailers can see the immediate bottom line savings.

So, in response to the sixth successful Retail Fraud conference (April 2009), attended by over 400 delegates from 160 different retailer organisations, Retail Fraud is now going “on the road” ….
