Success Story

Coop minimizes losses through SAP Loss Prevention
(Success Story in German language)

A high turnover may also mean that "black sheep" among employees take advantage of any potential grey areas and lack of transparency in the checkout process. This generates losses running into billions in the retail sector every year.

  • Detection, analyses and documentation of irregular checkout processes in almost 1,000 supermarket stores in Switzerland

  • Prevention of theft and fraud by introducing a control system

  • Creation of a pattern-based engine to identify irregular activities

  • Generation of different views of user, cash register or store (drilldown to individual receipt)

Implementation of SAP Loss Prevention
The tool enables immediate analysis of irregular transactions across all stores.

Solution

  • Evaluation of a large amount of user data within a short time
