Adidas turns to a new Oracle data collection system to pinpoint problems and reduce shrinkage. ...In the end, Oracle Micros provided the best overall solution. "They had the highest degree of knowledge, they were very experienced and we were already using their Store 21 as our POS system," he says. "They were a really good fit." Not only that, but Micros managed to find a live internal theft case buried in the test data it had been given. "They were the only vendor that identified this," he says. "Before we even actually implemented the system, we had investigated a case and taken out an employee who had committed [$220,000] worth of fraud against us in the preceding 12 months. It was quite impressive."

BJ's recently went through a major upgrade of its XBR system when it served as Oracle's beta site for XBRi, a cloud-based version that uses a front-end analytics and reporting tool called Ingenium. "The new tool has several components that have helped us," says assistant VP of asset protection Brendan Fitzgerald. "It comes with a series of canned reports that we have been able to modify to meet the needs of our business. One thing we're doing is creating subscriptions for our regional asset protection managers to review weekly, which gives them a look at their region and their clubs. We've also been able to use the available functionality of those reports to send a weekly set of reports to our clubs that they can use to investigate activity and identify cases."
