Profitect's profit amplification solution has enabled Abercrombie & Fitch to redefine the role of loss prevention within the company. As a result of the profit amplification solution, Klein has altered the focus of his department, realizing loss prevention is much more than simply analyzing shrink-it involves evaluating damages and profitability as a whole.
"Using Profitect has changed how we look at our role. It's not just about loss prevention and shrink. It's about profitability. It's about increasing sales and reducing cost, not just loss," said Klein. One of the key benefits to his department has been the change in personnel awareness, with the switch from a shrink-focus to a more complete, profitability-focus.
In this session, Klein will discuss how past loss prevention practices and inventory counts would only identify the shrink and damage issues after they had already taken a toll on the retailer. He will demonstrate how profit amplification can enable retailers to identify high loss opportunities on a daily basis, allowing the loss prevention departments to address these opportunities using actionable solutions without delay.
