We custom developed a suite of easy-to-use, centralized, real-time intranet applications for the loss prevention departments in Lowe's and Office Depot. These applications are used by managers and employees in stores nationwide for training, communication, store performance monitoring, and incident reporting.

Results include reduction of time spent on data entry, eradication of data entry redundancy, a centralized and real-time reporting mechanism, increased education and awareness of employees of loss prevention issues, increased participation in store activities, increased and more effective communication between store and regional managers, and millions of dollars saved in reduction of shrinkage (loss).
