The Rising Levels Of Retail Theft And Shoplifting The Rising Levels Of Retail Theft And Shopping - A Special LP Report

This year's Annual Resource Guide To Loss Prevention delivers a critical look at the state of shoplifting and how retailers are handling the problem. According to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP), more than $13 billion worth of goods are stolen from retailers each year. That's more than $35 million per day. Shoplifters steal from all types of stores including department stores, specialty shops, supermarkets, drug stores, discounters, music stores, convenience stores, and thrift shops.

In this year's guide, Barbara Staib, director of communications at NASP, explains the historical courses of action taken to thwart shoplifting. Staib also explains how operations and loss prevention professionals are working together in new ways to put a stop to shoplifting – with educational programs such as the Youth Education Shoplifting (Y.E.S.) Program.

    Going Beyond Labor - Infor Guest Series Mobility - Enabling Increased Productivity To Drive Profitability Guest Series Part 2
    By Rochelle Schard, industry and product marketing, Infor WFM Workbrain

    Who is your best sales person? Is it really the part time individual that works 25 hours a week or is it your store manager? In most cases the store manager wins that debate every time. Study after study shows store managers are working more hours, with the same labor budget, and still they are spending too many hours dealing with administrative task like returning emails and updating schedules instead of being on the store floor.

    So — how do you get your best sales people back on the store floor in front of your customers? Enable them with real-time access to their administrative tasks through a mobile device. Studies have shown that some of the most valuable technology to improve productivity is mobile point of sale (POS) applications and workforce tools like scheduling, attendance, and activity tracking.

    Catch up with Part 1 here.
