The Story
As an Asset Protection Associate at Walmart, Manan was responsible for monitoring loss across the store. He did not just flag incidents; he analyzed where shrinkage was concentrated.
He identified which departments were experiencing the highest shrinkage, then went directly to the relevant department managers to walk them through what he was seeing. The conversations were specific: here is where the loss is happening, here is what the pattern looks like.
The managers acted on the information. The result was a two percent reduction in shrinkage, which is a meaningful number in a retail environment where margins are thin and shrinkage directly affects profitability. He also identified internal theft as a contributing factor and worked to address that alongside the broader shrinkage problem.
