BJ's nips loss in the bud with new tech

WESTBORO, Mass. — BJ's Wholesale will leverage Micros-Retail's loss prevention and business analytics solution, XBR Ingenium, to increase its asset protection team’s investigative capabilities and productivity.

Micros-Retail XBR Ingenium will allow BJ’s to generate flexible and behavioral exception reports, so it can focus on key areas of fraudulent activity. The business solution offers an interactive dashboard, so field users can quickly spot high-risk areas in their stores and districts.

Interactive functionality, such as pivoting, drilling and linking, provides users with analytical capabilities and aims to allow users to efficiently identify, track and resolve issues.

"Through the assistance of the Micros team, we have implemented a tool that is analyst, end-user and administrator friendly. I am confident this will drive higher case identification and provide a strong ROI in short order," stated Charles Delgado, VP of asset protection at BJ's Wholesale.

"In addition to focusing on the new technology, BJ's also focused closely on the users' acceptance of the software and increased case productivity. These were key to the successful rollout. Micros-Retail is committed to product development and innovation, with a focus on developing solutions to help our customers reduce costs and capture top line revenues," said Raoul Ricard, VP of development at Micros-Retail.
