Auror recently shared a trending article on the differences between traditional case management and Retail Crime Intelligence. In this post, Auror describes Retail Crime Intelligence as the "new way" of doing things in AP/LP and describes why traditional case management doesn’t meet the needs of modern retail and law enforcement leaders.

Retail Crime Intelligence vs. AP/LP Case Management

When it comes to industry innovation, two basic categories generally emerge - the old way of doing things and the new way of doing things. That may be oversimplified of course, but there are many different tools and tactics that live under each category (old and new).

For loss prevention professionals, the old way of doing things is AP/LP case management, and the new way of doing things is Retail Crime Intelligence.

Traditional case management software served its purpose. As technology and networks advance though, these old tools are no longer good enough to meet the ever-changing needs of modern AP/LP leaders and law enforcement agencies. Organized Retail Crime (ORC) networks are vast and complex, so a siloed approach without collaboration and proactive intelligence is no match for the challenges of today.

So what is the answer? As we’ve mentioned, Retail Crime Intelligence is the future of preventing loss and violence in stores, and its positive impact is rooted in collaboration and connectivity.

Data networks unlock & empower

As Auror and its Retail Crime Intelligence Hub scale, the platform provides AP/LP professionals and police more and more insights to act on. This is a powerfully simple concept commonly referred to as a data network effect. In our case, Retail Crime Intelligence offers a data network effect for crime fighting.

Where case management is reactive and siloed, Retail Crime Intelligence is securely collaborative and connected to a larger data picture.

"At the end of the day, traditional or legacy case management systems just aren’t architected to do what Auror is doing, which is solving the anonymity problem - across systems, across stores, across retailers - and enabling collaboration with law enforcement." - Tom Batterbury, Chief Strategy and Product Officer at Auror
