In Their Own Words...

"The ability to protect your associates and your merchandise with the information on the National Shrink Database is apparent the minute you view the homepage. Accessing the data by zip code is of great value and will impact the shrink results and security measures as it relates to individual locations. Thanks for starting such a great service!"
– JOHN MULL, Manager of Field Operations, Casual Male Retail Group, Inc.
“Having the ability to leverage the National Shrink Database information is a forward strategy for our company. It gives us a multilayer approach to make better business decisions on how we spend our capital funding to maximize our profitability.”
--Bob Serenson, Vice President of Loss Prevention, Linens-n-Things
“The NSD application has become a valuable asset in our tool chest. We recently used the database on several real estate decisions and based on the results of our research, we were able to sway our executives to spend the necessary capital to install EAS, additional CCTV, and other physical security devices for our new sites. As a retail specific database we’re finding it most helpful to support business decisions in a variety of environments.”
--Matthew Haughton CFI ,National Loss Prevention Manager, Babies ‘R Us
“The National Shrink Database® has become a valuable asset to our loss prevention strategy. I encourage all retailers to contribute to this dynamic tool to help build its industry-wide intelligence and resources.”
Thomas Vecchiarelli, Loss Prevention Manager, Forever21
"I'm very excited about the ability to evaluate new site risks and security measures for a specific mall or shopping center location, based on the actual experiences of similar retailers. When you add the ongoing benchmarking of results versus those of other retailers in that location, I think you have a powerful tool."
– MIKE SMITH, Senior VP of Loss Prevention, The Finish Line
