Study to reveal the true extent of retail supply chain loss and other key metrics…

Organised Retail Crime is increasingly targeting retail supply chains in response to increased target hardening elsewhere in retail.

So the need for improvements in supply chain risk management is becoming ever more important.

However, when looking at their own operations, retailers have a paucity of data against which to benchmark – to know where they are doing well and in which areas to focus precious resources, and to build business cases for.

And even the scant data that is available is treated with mistrust.

For example, one senior retailer recently admitted that its own retail supply chain operations alone lost the same amount as the official total figure for the whole of retail. So, clearly something is wrong!

In response, Retail Risk has launched a new industry-wide survey focused on logistics crime impacting retail distribution – the real-world challenges behind the headlines.

The objective is simple: to build a clear, evidence-led picture of where logistics crime is really hurting, how it’s evolving and which controls are actually working.

The UK’s top retailers are being invited to provide answers to key questions that will inform the Survey. All replies are non-attributable. Anonymity for all contributors is guaranteed.

In return for a small investment of time in completing the survey, participants will receive full access to the aggregated industry and peer results, including:

• Meaningful benchmarking against comparable retailers
• Emerging crime trends and pressure points
• Practical insight into what peers are doing differently – and successfully

The survey will land in retailers’ inboxes shortly.
It is concise, fully anonymous… and the value grows with every senior voice that takes part.
