See the Offender Moving Across Your Stores
Someone steals in Leeds on Monday and Sheffield on Wednesday, and nobody knows it’s the same person, because the data can’t talk to itself. Alert joins up every incident across your estate, and with the high street around each store, so your loss prevention team stops logging crime and starts seeing it.
The Crime Group Hobbycraft Didn’t Know It Had
During a live demo of Alert’s automated crime group feature, the Compass tool suggested adding an offender to one of Hobbycraft’s crime groups. Hobbycraft had no idea that person was part of a wider group operating in another region.
Once they were added, the map filled in and the linked incidents came together: around £20,000 worth of incidents over time.
- Compass suggests offenders who belong in a crime group
- Linked incidents pulled together on the map
- Around £20,000 of connected incidents found in one demo
What One Store Misses, the Network Catches
When Savers had a theft, they posted the image on Alert. Someone from another business recognised the person and knew their name.
Stores also see offenders reported by other shops in the area, so they recognise repeat offenders the moment they walk in. And when police match incidents from across a city to one person, they can build a bigger case and make an arrest.
- Images recognised by neighbouring businesses
- Repeat offenders spotted as soon as they walk in
- Incidents matched across a city into one case for the police
Your Stores Don’t Trade in Isolation
Most crime platforms serve either enterprise retailers or the local community. ShopSafe treats them as part of the same picture.
Elliot’s point: 60% or more of the high street is independent business. Solve retail crime for the big chains alone and you don’t fix it, you just move it on.
- Your stores and the independents around them on one network
- Head office sees every incident across the estate
- Local BIDs, BCRPs and police already on Alert
One Picture Across Every Store
From incident logs to intelligence your team can act on.
Not a lack of information. Retailers have loads of information. It’s that none of it joins up.
With Alert, your stores share intelligence with the high street around them:
- Your head office
- Neighbouring retailers
- Independent shops
- BIDs and BCRPs
- Police
