helping retailers draw a line in the sand against profit loss, while adding real world gains in sales, shrink, & margin.

About us

Retail Asset Protection Vision, Strategy, & Tactics. These three things must be aligned across your C-suite, Legal, Risk, HR, AP, & OPS leadership. None can be defined without the other and each sets parameters for execution, accountability, and success. In the 2023 retail wild wild west ORC environment where $719k is lost to ORC theft for every $1B in retail sales, you must have a clear vision/mission established that all agree on. “A LINE IN THE SAND” must be drawn based on your organizations stomach for risk & liability. The retail theft equation has been flipped. The risk/liability equation is quickly following the theft trend in that locations exposed to certain ideologies, market, soft on crime DAs or jurisdictions are driving both loss of product and increased safety concerns from violent criminal acts. Consumers, employees, vendors, maintenance personnel all feel less and less safe daily - creating a work environment that could be defined as hostile by those desiring to earn a living. The same old strategies and tactics are failing to drive results or improve safety. When will your liability as a retailer or an asset protection leader for injuries, or deaths exceed your liabilities from theft? And how long will you wait, applying the same approaches, yet expecting a different result? Let us help you draw the line in the sand against this organized attack on your people, consumers, & brand . . .
