The Challenge

What Retail & FMCG
Businesses Face.

  • Organised Retail Crime

    Professional crime groups systematically targeting multiple sites across regions — often coordinated, often repeat offenders known to police but not to individual retailers.

  • Prolific Lone Offenders

    High-frequency shoplifters hitting the same stores repeatedly. Without intelligence sharing, each incident is treated in isolation rather than building a prosecution case.

  • Low Prosecution Rates

    Understaffed police forces cannot pursue every retail crime case. Without strong intelligence packages, evidence sufficient for prosecution rarely reaches the right officers.

  • Civil Recovery Gaps

    Poor data quality on identified offenders reduces civil recovery returns. Without verified address and identity data, recovery agencies cannot act effectively.
