    Finding the Missing Dollar

    Is that a person behind your DC at 3 a.m., or a raccoon? Cameras have trouble with that call at night. Sunil Mudholkar, VP of Product for Physical Security at Octave, joins me to talk about the camera as a sensor that feeds inventory and POS instead of sitting in a security silo, lidar on the loading dock, and why he thinks the video wall stops being the center of the room. Octave spun out of Hexagon and listed on the Nasdaq in May, but the physical security group inside it has been pulling data off cameras for 15 years. Oh, and by the way, I did return the favor for all the knowledge out of this one…..by providing a SPOT ON example of how all this works (yes, now you have to listen). For more information about Octave – check it out here.

    Save the Shoplifter, Save Your Store?

    ORC Doesn’t Get Solved in a Silo

    TalkLPnews Podcast Host Amber Bradley chats with Chad McManus, Chair of the Georgia Retailers Organized Crime Alliance (GROC), about how fast GROC has grown up over the years!  More importantly, what lessons it has learned as an organization after 16 years of connecting retailers and law enforcement. They get into intel sharing, courtroom prep, booster blitzes and why these partnerships matter way before a case makes headlines. Chad also talks about ways GROC can be a resource to other ORC associations out there – he’s sharing the wealth of knowledge GROC has gained for free!  Take a listen! Learn more about GROC here.

    Cargo Theft is the New Million-Dollar Smash & Grab

    Mitchell Jacobs has worked cargo theft at Walmart, security at Halliburton and United Airlines, and now runs safety and security for Lennox. He sat down with TalkLPnews Editor-in-Chief, Amber Bradley, to talk about the thing that actually keeps him up at night: a whole trailer can vanish off your dock and you won’t know for hours. His fix starts with something most leaders skip, which is standing still on the floor long enough to watch two associates try to check in 30 trucks an hour while you ask them to be perfect. He also has a warning. Criminals are already using AI to mine broker boards and build fake bills of lading, and LP is too slow to catch up. Plus the leadership lesson he got from a YMCA boardroom in the 1980s, and why a closed case stopped feeling like a win.

    Iceland Foods is using AI…and it’s working

    While American retailers are still asking “who’s actually implementing AI….that works,” Andy Edwards at Iceland Foods, a UK retailer with a thousand stores, is already using it — successfully. And guess what? He has use cases galore. He sits down with Editor-in-Chief of TalkLPnews, Amber Bradley, to share some of the most valuable including aisle theft alerts that hit a colleague’s device in real time, mis-scan detection at the checkout, and facial recognition built from concealment data. Andy walks me through what’s actually working, what surprised him about customer behavior, and why his team isn’t afraid of being replaced. If you’re tired of vendors saying “we do AI” with no proof, this one’s for you. Catch Andy in person at Apex, where he’ll be speaking on this exact topic.

    Career growth and promotion are not the same thing

    Tim Bartlett, Dollar General’s VP of Asset Protection, said that out loud, on the record, and meant it on the TalkLPnews Podcast with host Amber Bradley. Six roles. Three promotions. And he’d make the same calls again. Tim Bartlett spent 22 years moving sideways as much as up, through store ops, HR, and eventually LP, and has some strong opinions about why chasing the next title is the wrong obsession. This conversation covers lateral moves, building influence when you don’t have authority, and what he actually tells people who feel stuck. Def worth your time.

    AI Without the Server Farm: Here’s How

    TalkLPnews Host Amber Bradley is back with Pat O’Leary, Head of Sales of North America at SAI Group, for the next round of their AI rapid-fire chat. Spoiler alert: AI is no longer a buzzword, it’s a must have. The question isn’t if anymore, it’s how without drowning in hardware costs and getting stuck in a pilot that goes nowhere. Pat breaks down why two-thirds of retailers can’t get past the pilot phase). Plus, vendor consolidation is having its moment, because nobody wants five different vendors doing five different things while their IT department silently plots revenge. If you’re still shopping for one solution for shoplifting, another for self-checkout, and yet another for slip and falls… this episode is your wake-up call. Take a listen!

    Are You Arresting Your Way to a Safer Store?

    TalkLP Podcast Host Amber Bradley sits down with Rhett Asher, SVP of Partnership Development at ALTO, to talk about how some retailers are trying to arrest their way to a safer store and why that’s not the best strategy.  Of course, investigate the crime, create the case for law enforcement partners….but that’s not where the process of success ends. Detection tools are great, but if less than 5% of offenders ever make it into the court system, nothing is actually changing. Rhett breaks down why repeat offenders keep walking back through the doors of retail stores, why prosecutors drop retail cases before they even start, and how closing the accountability gap is the only way to fix it. Plus! A special announcement about the TalkLPnews and ALTO Legal Briefing events coming up throughout the year!
