Make Better Decisions Using Historical Physical Threat Data
Top 6 Use Cases for Retailers
The retail industry faces a multitude of risks that can significantly impact operations, profitability and customer trust. To effectively mitigate these risks, retailers require comprehensive and actionable insights. This is where Risk Insights comes into play. By leveraging advanced data analytics and an intuitive dashboard of reports, retailers can proactively evaluate their risks and plan accordingly.
Data about crime rates, traffic accidents, severe weather, flooding, environmental factors and more are used to create risk profiles for each defined location. By comparing these factors across sites, retailers can make smart choices about site viability or asset allocation. For instance, they can select an area based on its low crime rate and avoid locations where crime is elevated, thus saving potentially hundreds of millions in theft.
