Preventing Retail Loss and Optimizing Store Operations with Intelligent Automation

A leading global retailer transformed its approach to loss prevention by replacing fragmented, manual processes with a centralized ServiceNow solution. The new platform unified incident management, case workflows, store assessments, real-time communications, analytics, and external system integrations into a single operational environment, improving visibility, strengthening accountability, and enabling faster, more informed decision-making across the enterprise. 

Client Challenge 

The retailer relied on disconnected tools, manual processes, and inconsistent workflows to manage loss prevention activities across its stores. Limited visibility into incidents, inconsistent case handling, and fragmented communications made it difficult to respond quickly, identify trends, and maintain operational control. 

Key challenges included: 

• 1) No centralized platform for managing loss prevention cases, incidents, and investigations. 
• 2) Manual, spreadsheet-driven processes that reduced efficiency and consistency. 
• 3) Limited real-time visibility into incidents across store locations. 
• 4) Inconsistent ownership and accountability throughout the investigation process. 
• 5) Inefficient communication during critical incidents and emergencies. 
• 6) Limited access to integrated operational data for identifying trends and improving decision-making. 
• 7) The need for a modern, device-agnostic solution accessible from mobile, tablet, and web devices.
