How to deal with the “Oops” customer

Reducing theft-related losses remains a major challenge for retailers, whether they are independents or managing a network of hundreds of stores. In this episode, Tom Symons, founder of iRetailCheck and Profit Protection Services, shares his expertise on in-store shrinkage and the technological tools that can help prevent it. We discuss the different types of theft, human error, and the concrete solutions available to detect these issues without harming the customer experience. Tom explains how artificial intelligence can identify suspicious behaviors such as scan-avoidance or push-out theft, what level of investment is required, and how accessible these technologies are for smaller store formats. This is an episode for anyone who wants to understand how to protect their revenue from those infamous “Oops, I forgot” customers. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Cutting through the noise on sustainability reporting

In this episode, Vincent is joined by Gijs de Mol, co-founder of Root Sustainability, for a conversation on the challenges of sustainability reporting. Accurately reporting on sustainability requires reliable data, the right tools, and a clear understanding of complex frameworks, which is something that’s far from easy for both retailers and manufacturers. Gijs breaks down the intricacies of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, explains why the biggest impact often lies beyond a company’s direct operations, and discusses how outdated tools like spreadsheets are holding teams back. He also highlights how innovations like digital product passports could revolutionize supply chain traceability. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Shifting from a reactive approach to a proactive strategy

Important regulatory deadlines are approaching (CSRD, EUDR, and more). Ensuring traceability, managing data, and demonstrating compliance can be complex and overwhelming. Yet, retailers and manufacturers are already feeling the impact and taking action. In this episode of The Retail Influencer, I speak with Stijn Scheepers, Country Director Benelux at osapiens, about the mounting pressure on companies to adapt to evolving regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). We explore how retailers and suppliers can get ready, the crucial role of data and digital tools in achieving compliance, and why shifting from a reactive to a proactive approach is now essential.

The human and the power of a network remain essential

In this episode, my guest is none other than Thierry Coeman, author, speaker, and ambassador for All Fields. A go-to expert when it comes to a topic as broad and strategic as field marketing and in-store activation. Before diving into trends, we took the time to lay the groundwork and clarify what field marketing truly means. From there, we unpacked the sector’s dynamics, explored current major trends, Thierry’s take on real-world challenges, the ongoing importance of the human factor, and much more. A must-listen if you work in the field, in activation, or if you're simply looking to better understand what really makes a difference at the point of sale. Hosted by Ausha.

The Carrefour tradeshow is a retail statement

In this episode, we're diving into a different kind of trade show, one that’s not open to everyone, but still plays a major role in shaping the retail landscape: the tradeshow organised by a retailer for its affiliates and suppliers. I see event as a place to network, spot trends, and of course, do business. But unlike massive international fairs like SIAL or Anuga, the event on our agenda today is something else entirely. It’s organized by a retailer, for its own network of stores and suppliers. A private, large-scale gathering that deserves a closer look. Joining me today to talk about this unique concept are Paul Peugnet and Nathalie Matterne from Carrefour Belgium. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
