Omni Channel Retailing

theft (11)Omni Channel Retailing is the current long-term direction that retailers are going forth with. It basically is the process of integrating all aspects of a retailer into one accessible unit for customers to shop. This is the current way to combine a brick and mortar location with online sales, social media, distribution, and mobile phone apps. By cohesively allowing customers to shop any location, by any means available, sales are maximized exponentially.

Simply put, a customer can purchase merchandise online, or from their phone by searching your company website. The products available come from your distribution channels, and in stock inventory within any of your stores. A customer has the ability to see what your on hand inventory is, make the appropriate purchase, and then decide how they will get the product. The options are usually pick up in store, deliver to home, or deliver (from the distribution center) to a store of their choice.

Omni Channel Retailing is a viable option, not just for the larger companies with hundreds of selling locations. It is actually a great way for smaller businesses to compete with these big box stores as customers have better access to a wider range of your merchandise, when and where the customer needs it.

Having worked with larger companies just beginning these selling processes, I was able to experience their growing pains first hand. The hardest obstacle to overcome was ensuring the proper on hand inventory, so when a customer placed the order we could quickly fulfill it.

I saw too many unhappy customers place an in store pick up order, show up thirty minutes later, only to find out we didn’t actually have their product in stock. Not only were they put out by the inconvenience of needlessly driving to the store, but also they still had to figure out how to get the merchandise they wanted to buy.

As we progressed with the process, we started taking a better approach to our on hand accuracies. As a result, our sales increased, as did our customer satisfaction. Through Omni Channel Retailing, we were able to reach a whole new customer base and increase our sales in ways we never dreamed we could.


Same Time Next Week

theft (5)Shoplifters are surprisingly creatures of habit. My initial assessment was that a shoplifter, who is desperately trying not to get caught, would work hard to vary the times and days that they would come into a store to steal. I thought they would want to take a surprise approach to their thieving ways. I was actually quite wrong in my assessment.

The truth is most shoplifters want to find a comfort zone to steal in. They are looking for a tried and true way to get in and out of a store undetected. That is why if they steal something and get away with it on the first try, they will continue to use those same methods and manners in their subsequent thefts.

Luckily for us, when a shoplifter develops a pattern, it makes it easier for us to catch them and put a stop to the shrink losses they are creating. By identifying the pattern they created, we can be one step ahead of them and can be waiting to catch them, just like this shoplifter.

I was working for a home improvement store. We started loosing large rolls of electrical wire worth several thousands of dollars. Since these were large, heavy items that were not frequently shuffled around, we set up a camera to see if we could find out where they were going. After a few weeks of watching, we saw that every Friday around noon a man came in, loaded a roll onto a cart and then switched the price tag out for a less expensive one. The cashier charged him for the roll of wire based on this lower priced tag.

Since we found his pattern, we waited until the following Friday. Sure enough he was just like clockwork. Noon came and so did he to walk off with another one of our rolls. This time, we were there to intercept the transaction and have him arrested.


A Deeper Understanding- Loss Prevention Seminars

Loss prevention Seminars can take many forms. Some of them are self-monitored, such as computer based learning programs, or handbook reviews. Any way you go about conducting this loss prevention training, the end result is the same- to train your employees so they have a more through understanding of how certain actions affect a store’s shrink and profit lines.
The supervisors in the store directly give the most common kind of loss prevention training. These kinds of trainings or mini loss prevention seminars center around store specific policies and procedures designed to minimize risk and exposure. Others are aimed toward store operations and how to handle day-to-day tasks and assignments. These are processes like in store recovery efforts, cash handling and close out procedures. It is also the way a company handles the receipt of products and goods.
Loss prevention seminars are a way for employees to understand what to look for and why thieves act the way they do. All of this loss prevention training is done because employees who are knowledgeable are also more comfortable with how to handle situations as they come up. Some times employees need to handle situations swiftly and still professionally. The more training they have, the more they will feel comfortable in handling the situation appropriately. If an employee is not comfortable, they will not act for fear of mishandling a situation and loosing their job.

Shoplifting Videos And Incidents

theft (12)The retail industry losses are approximately $13 billion dollars a year. Some of the preventing security devices they most rely on are closed circuit television installed in their stores that are visible by the employees and customers alike. Hidden security cameras are also employed, although a bit less than the visible cameras. Still, the retail loses are great with all the security devices, and employee security they provide for their stores.

Kelly’s Stupid Criminals of the week!

Featuring this week a drunken, shirtless Maryland man was busted trying to steal candy from a Subway restaurant in Prince Frederick. He was wearing only shorts and a pair of white socks when Calvert County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived to investigate reports of a suspicious person. One of the deputies spotted tipsy suspect trying to slip some candy into his pocket, authorities said.

And a woman is facing charges for attacking a teenager who flew a quadcopter drone over the beach in Hammonasset Beach State Park, CT. Andrea Mears, 23, is accused of assaulting Austin Haughwout, 17, on May 12 after she noticed a flying drone with a camera attached on it flying over the Middle Beach at Hammonasset. She was charged with third degree assault and second degree breach of peace, police said. Mears told ABC News that she had called the police complaining about “a little remote-operated plane flying over the beach.” Before the police arrived, Mears tracked down Austin Haughwout, pilot of the drone, and confronted him at the park.


Dumbest thief ever logs into Facebook on victim’s computer during burglary, forgets to log out

The world is full of truly stupid would-be criminals but one Minnesota man might have just taken the crown for the title of World’s Stupidest Thief. CBS Minnesota reports that police arrested 26-year-old Nicholas Wig for allegedly burglarizing a home in South St. Paul on June 19th after his victim discovered that Wig had used his computer to log into his Facebook page and never logged out before leaving. When police arrived to arrest Wig, they also found that he was wearing his victim’s wrist watch, which obviously won’t help with any potential defense.


Parents Sue Walmart, Police Over Livonia Shoplifting Stop

The parents of a mentally disabled woman are suing Walmart and police after she was stopped for suspected shoplifting at a Detroit-area store.

Wendy Kozma of Novi tells the Detroit Free Press her 25-year-old daughter, Jodi, who has the mental capacity of an 8-year-old, now is terrified of police after being handcuffed and questioned at a Walmart in Livonia. Records show she didn’t steal anything.

Wendy and John Kozma want an apology along with unspecified financial damages and assurance that police and store security follow proper procedures when dealing with disabled people. They filed a complaint with police in August 2012, when their daughter was stopped, and recently sued.

Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart says it believes its associates acted appropriately. Livonia police sent a letter to the Kozmas denying wrongdoing.


Annapolis beauty shop employee pepper-sprayed during shoplifting incident

An Annapolis-area beauty shop employee was pepper-sprayed Saturday while attempting to stop a suspected shoplifter.

When Anne Arundel County police responded to the Ulta Beauty store in Annapolis Harbour Center shortly after 3:30 p.m., an employee told them that a woman had put about $1,000 worth of perfume into a bag and attempted to leave without paying.

An employee approached the woman and attempted to grab the bag, but a second woman waiting in front of the store pepper-sprayed the employee in the face, police said.

The suspects fled in a newer model white four-door car with the rear license plate covered by a plastic bag, police said. Officers searched the area but were unable to find the suspects or the car.

The employee who was pepper-sprayed was treated by Fire Department personnel at the scene and transported to a local hospital for further treatment, police said. The store manager also was exposed to the pepper spray, but declined medical treatment.

Police said the suspect who took the merchandise is a heavyset black woman, possibly in her 20s, and she was wearing a gray T-shirt and black pants. The suspect who used the pepper spray is black, possibly in her 20s, and she was wearing a black shirt and white shorts.


A Tried And True Prevention- Loss Prevention Seminars

If an employee is thinking about stealing, they know that the more people who are aware of methods and red flags will make it more likely to be caught. The less of an emphasis on security, operational controls and checks, and internal audits means it is easier for employee theft to occur.
One tried and true way of preventing employee theft in your stores is to send your entire team of employees through a loss prevention workshop. When you take your team of employees to these loss prevention seminars, you are actually showing them why they should not steal.
These seminars are designed to create more eyes and ears in an otherwise oblivious location that will now be aware of what is going on at the store level. By sending your employees to loss prevention training sends a message that you are raising awareness of all facets of your business. Employee theft adamantly will not be tolerated.
The businesses that are most prone to employee theft and embezzlement are the ones who have minimal employee awareness and lackadaisical operational controls. Any actions you can take to improve on these substandard business practices will reduce the risk you have of an employee knowingly taking advantage of you and your company’s assets.

Getting What You Really Wanted- Shoplifting

One of the most commonly sought after loss prevention training programs are ones that focus on recognizing and prevention of shoplifting as opposed to other kinds of inventory losses. Shoplifting can happen to your store regardless of your location, client base and product assortment.
Because of this commonality, these loss prevention seminars are equally well suited for a wide majority of retailers. Since most shoplifters exhibit the same basic strategies and methods, the prevention tactics taught within these classes are therefore equally as universal as the crimes they are deterring and eliminating.
When you understand what your store specific concerns are, it is easier to find a loss prevention training program or class that will fit your needs.
Why would you and your employees want to waste your time in an ineffective loss prevention workshop that is too generalized or do not focus enough on your particular problems or worries? Why spend hours listening to ways employee theft hurts you when you have bigger losses from shoplifting?
The smart decision is to work with the training facilitators to make sure they understand exactly what your expectations are.
There is no point in spending your time and your hard earned money on programs that will not produce a return on your investment later on.

Tips and Tricks That Might Be Free- Loss Prevention Seminars

Sometimes the best solution is the most obvious solution. Loss prevention seminars can give you tips and tricks to mitigate some of your inventory losses for free or for a minor expense to your bottom line. Even though EAS systems are proven deterrents to shoplifting, they are not an immediate fix. You have to decide which system you want, have it installed and then EAS tag or label your inventory.
In the mean time, you need to have alternative methods to mitigate shoplifting (and employee theft) losses in your stores. Taking a loss prevention workshop can help you with some industry proven tips and tricks to reducing your losses in lieu of an EAS system.
One of the tips is to remerchandise some of the more desirable products within your store.
Do you have small, high theft items on a shelf location in the middle of your store? Shoplifters seek out those items and then look for unwatched corners to conceal these items.
Why not move these high theft items closer to the POS system? They will have a better chance of being continually monitored, and anyone who picks one up can easily and immediately pay for it. Making these kinds of minor merchandising changes to your high theft inventory products can reduce shoplifting.

Preventing Shoplifting In Your Business

law-3When a small business owner learns that an employee has been stealing from the business, many times they terminate the employee without prosecuting. Lawyer’s fee and other costs incurred by hiring an attorney sometimes do not make financial sense compared to the amount the employee has stolen. Prosecuting an employee who has been caught stealing can protect the company or small business owner against a civil law suit, and can help recover the company’s property, but most importantly it can serve as a deterrent to other employees.

10 ways to prevent theft, fraud by your employees

According to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), an employee is 15 times more likely than a non-employee to steal from an employer, and employees account for an estimated 44 percent of theft losses at stores.

• Larceny (outright theft).

• Skimming (diverting business funds).

• Fraudulent disbursements (billing schemes, inflated expense reports, check tampering).

Catch All The Steps- Loss Prevention Seminars

Loss prevention seminars are extremely important if you are going to make shoplifting apprehensions in your store. The elimination of even one step can create a huge lawsuit and liability for your business.
First, you need to see the subject enter the store. The point is to see what they have, what they are wearing or carrying, so you can conversely know what merchandise they are stealing from you.
Secondly, you need to see them enter the area where the merchandise is sold. You absolutely need to see them select (pick up) the merchandise in question.
Again, this ensures you can verify the merchandise is absolutely your property and not theirs.
At this point you need to see them conceal the product or otherwise demonstrate that they are intending to steal.
Maintain constant observation of the merchandise. If you loose contact, can you be sure they did not discard the merchandise somewhere along the way? Some shoplifters do get spooked and drop the product.
Finally they need to exit the store and pass the last point of sales.
Loss prevention training is designed to assist retailers with making decisions to stop shoplifting or not. These loss prevention seminars are out there to further expound on these steps, and explain the subtle nuances that can arise during an actual shoplifting stop. That way the retailer can make a better determination if shoplifting apprehensions would be beneficial to their stores.

A Larger Audience- Loss Prevention Seminars

When businesses take a stand against shoplifting losses within their walls, the community takes notice. Instead of going somewhere else, the community comes to you. They begin to share a positive message of your stores, thus growing your business as more customers come to you for their shopping needs.
The question is, however, how do you take that initial stand against shoplifting?
Many larger retailers are encouraging their employees to get their Loss Prevention Certification from the Loss Prevention Foundation. These retailers are ones who have the luxury of employing full time loss prevention personnel.
This formalized training and certification is expensive, too expensive for most small businesses. It would be difficult to get the return on that investment, especially if you were looking for loss prevention training that could be disseminated to your entire team of employees and managers. That doesn’t mean that it is not beneficial to have this kind of training.
By attending more affordable loss prevention seminars, you can get your entire team involved and educated. Benefits to this kind of loss prevention training include better job performance by providing awareness of methods and kinds of losses that retailer’s incur. They can improve competencies needed to resolve shrink losses and implications. They can also improve the perception of your company or business within the community.
When you find loss prevention seminars that are affordable to your entire team, you will get the same information and knowledge that you would through the loss prevention certification. The difference is more employees can attend, and you can gear the loss prevention seminars to the information that you need for your stores specifically.
