(Bloomington, MN) — Aspect Loss Prevention, a leading provider of retail loss prevention data mining software and services, announced recently that Pamida, a Midwest-based retailer with over 200 stores in 17 states, has reported success in reducing shrink and increasing overall operational efficiencies after recently implementing Aspect's Exception-Based Reporting (EBR) solution, Elite LossPREVENTION™. Pamida, after extensive due diligence sourcing a new POS and EBR solution, found Aspect's software and VirtualLP™ to be the best-of-breed.

"The Loss Prevention team has found Aspect's tools exceptionally easy to use," commented Joe Anderson, Director of Loss Prevention. Bill Young, Pamida's SVP of Operations, added, "Aspect permits us to closely monitor employee compliance with store policies and procedures, resulting in improved efficiencies and customer service. With Aspect's EBR solution, we anticipate continued reduction in shrink as we proactively manage our business."

Aspect's VirtualLP team is working with Pamida to build reports that look for specific activities as well as identify employees who have breached policies or committed fraud based on Pamida's unique business rules. The Pamida and Aspect teams utilize AutoMIND™, a module for Elite LossPREVENTION™, to automate the search for high-risk transactions indicative of fraud. The system automatically flags suspect transactions and alerts the store or respective LP manager via a multitude of electronic messaging options.

Commenting on Pamida's success, David Duhaime, CEO of Aspect Loss Prevention remarked, "We are extremely pleased with the results that Pamida and our many other major retailer customers are obtaining with Aspect's suite of products and services. Their success substantiates our commitment to provide state-of-the-art solutions and techniques that drive bottom-line results. We are confident that Pamida will continue to derive significant benefit from the Aspect solutions for many years to come."
