Retailers Detect Theft Trends in a Few Clicks with Security Center Transaction Finder

Genetec Security Center Transaction Finder, a PoS (Point of Sale) integration tool with exception-based reporting capabilities has been designed to help retailers speed up their investigations. Embedded in the security system, Security Center Transaction Finder correlates PoS data with corresponding video, with the ability to bring in additional sources such as analytics, as an added feature. It eliminates the need to jump between different platforms, and helps investigators filter through large volumes of transactions to quickly detect suspicious activities that might warrant further investigation. Retail shrink is increasing, and theft tactics are becoming more complex, strategic and internal. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF) 2019 national retail security survey, theft, fraud and losses from other retail ‘shrink’ continues to rise (totaling $50.6 billion in 2018, up from $46.8 billion the year before). To identify theft trends and combat loss, retailers are increasingly turning to technology to put in place effective ways to work smarter and automate their processes to reduce losses and preserve valuable margin. “Working with a variety of tools and applications to reduce retail loss is a critical aspect of any retail investigator’s job. However, the enormous volume of PoS transactions to review, combined with the amount of time it takes to manually find the security video associated with potentially fraudulent activity makes this a daunting task. With Transaction Finder, we solve that problem by using a single tool that makes it easy to detect theft trends, identify suspicious transactions and locate video of interest,” explained Rob Borsch, Practice Leader – Retail and Banking at Genetec, Inc. Using the Transaction Finder task in Security Center, investigators simply enter relevant search criteria like date and time, employee name, SKUs involved in the transaction, void transactions, or whether motion was detected on the customer side of the register etc. Transaction Finder will scan the PoS database for activities that meet the selected criteria along with the associated video and the transaction details. Using customizable dashboards, investigators can quickly identify suspicious transactions, immediately review the associated video for more context, and flag transactions for further investigation.

Royal Swinkels Family Brewers

When Swinkels Family Brewers wanted to unify its access control internationally, it chose Nedap AEOS, which enabled this producer of world-famous Bavaria beer to design a system around the people using it. The challenge Swinkels Family Brewers had grown quickly and needed to review its security and apply more stringent measures. It was using two access control systems and wanted to unite everything on one platform. Most importantly, Swinkels Family Brewers wanted a system that would match its people-first approach, and provide the flexibility to adapt and scale in the future. What they did Initially, Swinkels Family Brewers established a cross-department project group, which developed a new security policy. With that in place, the project group identified AEOS as the system to meet its long and growing list of requirements. During the planning stages, they consulted department managers on their needs, and before AEOS was implemented they ensured their people knew what to expect and why the change was happening.  Key benefits The system is designed around the people using it. Security is stronger but there’s a welcoming sense of warmth and openness. One unified system fulfils all access control needs. Several systems are linked to AEOS and updates transfer automatically. Flexibility to easily add new functionality such as video monitoring, or scale the system. What they said Stefan Fehlhaber, Facility Manager at Swinkels said, “We’re very impressed with the scalability, stability and robustness of AEOS. It’s very practical to use in daily life and is easy for our security people to operate. It’s also very convenient for our employees to be able to use one badge at different locations.”
