ISCPO Executive Roundtable Interview Series: Aaron Henderson - Part One
As part of our Executive Roundtable Interview Series, we recently sat down with industry thought-leader Aaron Henderson to get his point of view on the challenges, trends, and developments facing the LP / AP industry. We had the privilege to have Aaron on the ISCPO Exploratory Board, where he helped to shape our organization and drive best practices across the supply chain. Aaron is presently Director Loss Prevention at Penske Logistics & Brigade Command Sergeant Major (CSM)/MP Retired.

ISCPO: What are the three most important elements a company must do to maintain a high standard of supply chain protection?

1. Maintaining a 'Being Aware' mind-set: It's important to always think about how a company's environment or how every business decision or process can be affected from a security or protection point-of-view. Always stay on top of the industry trends that effect your business-from technology advances to cargo theft trends. A leader must be aware of their environment and how to communicate standards effectively, especially if you have several locations. For example, Los Angeles is known for cargo theft, so it's vital for staff to be aware by following security protocol and mitigating exposure. Or, if there's a business disruption, such as a protest, cargo should be re-routed to keep drivers safe and to protect the cargo.

2. Inventory Control: You must have strong inventory control programs implemented within your supply chain. Maintaining accurate inventory is key to success from the minute you receive it in the door from your supplier to the moment the end customer receives it. We play a big role in trying to shrink the window of inventory sitting on the books, which is tied to training, warehouse management systems, and the enterprise system itself.

3. Security: Security is prevention in its simplest form. It's your job to evaluate, implement, and monitor the best security plans and systems across the entire business and the industry you work in. Ultimately, by establishing the proper security across all departments of a business you're protecting your brand, protecting your product and most importantly protecting your people.  Part Two Tomorrow  iscpo.org

Macy's RFID effort boosts sales, fulfillment
Macy's bid to employ RFID technology to all stock by 2017's end is already making a positive difference for the store, according to data from Macy's analyzed by the Platt Retail Institute emailed to Retail Dive.

RFID tagging has so far helped Macy' lower inventory variance by to 2-4.5%, decrease display shortages from 30% to 4-6% and reduce markdowns enabling a 2.6% full-price sale increase in the Women's Shoe Department (WSD), according to the report.

The impact of RFID-tagging was also visible in fulfillment. Orders for tagged merchandise were fulfilled 6.1% more than non-tagged merchandise.

In October 2016, Macy's went public with its intent to have every item it sold RFID-tagged by the end of 2017. Early results show the effort is more than worthwhile, as Target too has discovered, having found greater operational efficiencies and better cost management over inventory and payroll as a result.

Despite these examples, many retailers have yet to adopt the tagging technology, generally citing two prohibitions: first, the three components of RFID are unavailable as a single purchase, meaning that the tags, the readers, and the platform for information retrieval must be purchased separately, RFID Journal reports. Secondly, many retailers are already too busy with daily operations and RFID-drives are seen as another lengthy implementation that may not be worth it in the end.

In other words, purchase risk and implementation costs are too high for the evident benefits of the technology. The result? Many keep managing inventory the old way, and miss out on restocking alerts and greater visibility on item availability that could help in this omnichannel age. retaildive.com

After Class-Action Lawsuit Alleging Widespread Sexual Harassment
Signet Jewelers Takes Major Action
Signet Appoints Prominent Former Federal Judge to Conduct Independent Review  
Signet Jewelers Limited ("Signet") (NYSE:SIG), the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry, announced today that its new Board Committee focused on Respect in the Workplace has appointed former federal Judge Barbara S. Jones, a partner at Bracewell LLP, to conduct a thorough review of the company's policies and practices regarding equal opportunity and workplace expectations. The company first announced plans to commission the review last month during an earnings call.

"Judge Barbara Jones' integrity is impeccable. She and her team have had a distinguished career in matters relating to workplace compliance issues and she will bring that experience to the company as she conducts a review of company policy and practices," said Helen McCluskey, Signet Director and Chair of the committee. "Judge Jones will help us ensure our programs are functioning as intended and to identify areas where we can further improve." businesswire.com
 
Signet Jewelers trying to make good on claims that it provides a respectful workplace
of all employees in the wake of public accounts of discrimination and harassment by female workers.

As part of a newly formed, all-female committee focused on respect in the workplace, Signet has selected Barbara Jones, a former federal judge with the Southern District of New York and a current partner with Bracewell LLP, to carry out a "thorough review" of Signet's corporate policies surrounding equal opportunity and workplace expectations.

Jones was nominated to the federal courts in 1995 by President Bill Clinton and served for 16 years before going into private practice. Her legal work is now geared toward litigation, internal investigations and white-collar defense work.
Signet's move to review its internal policies comes after about 250 individual declarations made in 2013 by male and female employees of its subsidiary Sterling Jewelers recounted numerous instances of sexual harassment by higher-ups and executives.

While Signet has stressed that the arbitration, which includes approximately 69,000 female employees, does not include any formal claims of harassment, it's nevertheless attempting to align its image as an equality-conscious company. wwd.com

FTC May Sue to Block Walgreens and Rite Aid Merger
Capitol Forum, a trade publication, reported that the FTC was considering a lawsuit. Rite Aid shares were down 8.5 percent to $4.09 at 3:17 p.m. in New York. Shares of Fred's Inc., which would acquire as many as 1,200 stores and other assets as part of a divestiture plan, fell as well, losing 8.6 percent to $13.75.

The timeline to complete the deal has been extended until July 31 as antitrust regulators review it. Rite Aid is trading far below the deal price, which Walgreens and Rite Aid reduced to a range of $6.50 to $7 a share in January. In March, Walgreens was said to be poised to sell more assets to help the deal go forward.

The FTC is depleted at the upper levels in the transition between administrations. President Donald Trump hasn't yet named a permanent candidate to lead the antitrust body. Other commissioners have left, leaving just two of five seats filled, one by a Democrat and the other by a Republican who is the acting chairman. bloomberg.com

U.S. prosecutors ask for 30 yr sentence for $170M POS Russian Hacker
U.S. prosecutors are asking a federal court in Seattle to sentence prolific Russian hacker Roman Seleznev to 30 years this week, saying he personally helped create a multibillion-dollar ecosystem for credit card fraud.

Calling Seleznev "a pioneer" in the online theft and monetization of card data, a sentencing memorandum claims he "became one of the most revered point-of-sale hackers in the criminal underworld ... a market maker whose automated vending sites and tutorials helped grow the market for stolen card data," by effectively creating an Amazon.com for cyber-thieves and card fraudsters.  cyberscoop.com

The Age of Me
72 percent of employees are willing to share confidential information
According to an end user security survey released this morning, 72 percent of employees are willing to share confidential information. In the financial services sector, the percentage was even higher -- 81 percent said they should share sensitive, confidential or regulated information.

This is despite the fact that 65 percent said that it was their responsibility to protect confidential data.

"There is an acknowledgment by employees that security is important," said Brett Hansen, vice president for endpoint and data security at Dell, the company that sponsored the survey. "But their actions are not consistent with good data security."

The majority of employees also accessed personal social media accounts and personal email from work devices.

Employees also felt that the companies' security policies were getting in the way of them doing their jobs, with 76 percent saying that their employers prioritized security over productivity.

"So they feel responsibility, unless it gets in the way of productivity, unless it's not good for me," he said. "I'm embracing security -- as long as it doesn't encumber me in any substantial way."

At least, when it came to sharing information, the employees thought they had good reasons -- they were told to do it by their managers, they thought it would help the company, they thought it would help them be more effective in their job, or they were helping out the recipient.

But 35 percent also said that it's common to take proprietary information with them when leaving a company.

"They felt that it would be good for them," said Hansen. "I don't know if that's an excuse or an admission of 'Hey, I'm doing what's best for me.'"

The survey also showed that a large number of companies are doing security awareness training, with 63 percent of employees reporting some form of training. csoonline.com

The Long Tail of Consumer Class Actions & Data Breach Liability
Time Spent Remedying or Mitigating a Breach
After 4 years of arguments Barnes & Noble is still being sued by a group of consumers over B&N's 2012 63 store PIN pad hack.

Even without showing injury the consumers are saying the recent April 13th ruling upholding a proposed class action against Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group LLC over the theft of payment card data in a security breach, contending that the ruling bolsters their efforts to withstand Barnes & Noble Inc.'s late November motion to dismiss.

In the suit against the boutique hotel chain, guest Lee Walters alleged that he suffered damages, including having to secure and maintain credit-monitoring services and to spend time remedying or mitigating the breach, according to the Barnes & Noble shoppers.

The consumers highlight similar injuries in their brief opposing B&N's dismissal bid, with Winstead claiming that the breach was a decisive factor in her decision to renew her subscription to a credit-monitoring service and Dieffenbach saying she experienced unauthorized activity because of the breach, forcing her to put her account on hold and take time to sort out the issues, according to court filings.

However, Barnes & Noble disagreed in a Tuesday response, saying the holding in Walters shouldn't alter the court's analysis of the dismissal motion. In Walters, the judge held that money spent on credit monitoring could constitute damages, but this court has already held that no plaintiff alleged any expenditure for credit monitoring that was caused by the alleged breach, the retailer argued.

To the extent that Walters' analysis of California's UCL conflicts with this court's prior holding that "time and money spent on mitigation" of a risk of identity theft "do not suffice as injury under the UCL."

Editor's Note: Each breach has a long life in the courts and even if the consumer has not seen any fraudulent activity on their cards it now appears that they can in fact claim injury because of the time spent repairing the damage and for the cost of credit monitoring. law360.com

Mastercard creates credit card with fingerprint sensor for biometric security
Mastercard has developed a credit card with its own inbuilt fingerprint sensor in an effort to increase security and crack down on fraud.

The card owner's fingerprint is converted into an encrypted digital template, which is stored on the card. When making a payment, the card is inserted into a terminal as usual, while the cardholder places their registered finger on the sensor. The payment is made once the biometric information is successfully matched.

Biometric fingerprint scanners have become a key authentification method for mobile payments in recent years, led largely by Apple Pay and Google's Android Pay systems. inews.co.uk

UK Says Its Losing More Than $1B Thanks To Fraud, Errors
On eBay, Amazon Marketplaces
The U.K. is losing as much $1.28 billion each year in value-added tax (VAT) due to fraud or errors from sellers who use the marketplaces of eBay and Amazon, reported Reuters.

The report, citing the National Audit Office (NAO), reported that the NAO said sellers who are committing the fraud are often located in China and that Trading Standards, the U.K. consumer regulator, found Amazon and eBay failed to remove the sellers despite being alerted to their noncompliance. Reuters noted that retailers that sell goods to customers in the U.K. have to collect a VAT of 20 percent of the value of the products sold, which goes to the UK government. eBay told Reuters it is committed to making its platform fair.

"We will continue to work closely with (British tax authority) HMRC to ensure that all sellers on our platform comply with the law," eBay said in an emailed statement to Reuters. Amazon declined to comment on the report. The NAO said in the report new rules that are geared toward making operators of marketplaces liable for non-VAT payment would help fight the problem and that eBay and Amazon support that rule. The NAO did note that Amazon is against another in which marketplace operators have to conduct due diligence checks on their overseas customers. Amazon felt this was "disproportionate and ineffective," the NAO said, according to Reuters. pymnts.com

Are Payments The Missing Link To Chatbot Success?
The uprising of chat commerce over the past year has become the hot topic of conversation for many looking for ways to monetize chatbots.

The retail industry is in the nascent stages of seeing the impact of what's been dubbed "chat commerce." As we reported just a few weeks ago, chat commerce is defined as "utilizing chat, messaging or other natural language interfaces (i.e. voice) to interact with people, brands or services and bots that heretofore have had no real place in the bidirectional, asynchronous messaging context."

By removing the middleman and connecting consumers directly with online retail chat representatives, retailers have a chance to increase revenue and deepen end-user loyalty to the brand. pymnts.com

Three retailers step up shopper engagement with bots
FreshDirect, Subway and The Cheesecake Factory have added a new item to their menus - conversational commerce.

Through a partnership with MasterCard, the three brands are now using artificial intelligence (AI)-based bots to enable consumers to browse menus, build orders and securely checkout via Masterpass - all without leaving the Messenger chat-based platform. chainstoreage.com

Robberies & Thefts

Long Island, NY: Robber's 15-store spree might fuel drug habit
The serial knifepoint robber who has now hit 15 times across Long Island - the latest Tuesday night in Ronkonkoma - might be a drug addict because of his "brazen" and "desperate" behavior and could be prosecuted federally once he's apprehended, Suffolk Police Commissioner Timothy Sini said Wednesday.

Perception becomes reality slowly on a macro level and it's difficult to change it if it's incorrect or doesn't portray the truth. It's the same reason law enforcement separates witnesses to ensure clarity and truth. The group mind becomes influenced by opinion and agendas and distorts the true reality. One can only rely on daily vigilance based on doing what's right to hopefully impact the individuals one works with on a daily basis to carry the experience forward and be witness to what is right.
