Find the Operational Sources of Your Shrink

In recent years, organizations have focused on meeting compliance requirements often foregoing operational audits in favor of financial and reporting effectiveness. Although the focus may have changed, the environment in which you operate has not. Whether you're evaluating one operational area or end-to-end capabilities, we have a proven strategy to ensure you meet your operational goals.

 

Our audit staff members have all worked in supermarkets and have real-world experience running stores, which makes them uniquely qualified to provide real-world solutions. We provide experienced professionals who complete an audit and needs assessment to identify and target specific areas that are causing excessive shrink in your stores. We provide detailed results, complete with our findings, pictures, solutions and best practice recommendations designed to help you meet your goals.
