Remote Monitoring
<p>Not long ago, retail CCTV was a comfort blanket: there because the store specification said so, and looked at only after something went wrong. That has changed.</p><br><p>In this episode of Sell More Lose Less, Colin Peacock talks to Professor Emmeline Taylor about the rise of remote monitoring in retail, fresh from a two-day ECR meeting with 50 to 60 retailers.</p><br><p>They unpack how remote monitoring centres, sometimes called security operations centres, crime centres or intelligence hubs, are pulling together video, alarms and panic buttons into one place, with 24-hour oversight of stores spread across the country. They cover the split between proactive monitoring and reactive evidence gathering, why communicating back into store is still the weak link, and the case for these centres becoming tools for the whole business, not just security, from self-checkout monitoring to virtual store audits.</p><br><p>This is a follow-up to our earlier conversation on <a href="https://ecrloss.com/podcast/retail-security-operations-centres/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">security operations centres</a></p><p>More on <a href="https://ecrloss.com/focus-area/video-in-retail/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">video in retail</a></p><p>The ECR research on <a href="https://ecrloss.com/research-paper/retail-cctv-strategy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">retail CCTV strategy</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Winning Hearts and Minds
<p>The stores that waste the least food often have one thing in common: engaged colleagues.</p><br><p>In this episode of Sell More Lose Less, Colin Peacock talks to food waste expert Richard Thalemann about why engagement matters so much, and why it is so hard to sustain.</p><br><p>They explore why people treat food differently at home and at work, the cognitive dissonance of caring about waste while being measured on sales, and why the emotional pull of charity donation rarely reaches the markdown gun. They also question league tables of donated meals, the risk of normalising surplus, and why champions of food waste fade like wallpaper unless the role keeps reinventing itself.</p><br><p>The takeaway for retailers: make it easy, move the effort upstream, and measure what matters.</p><br><p>More on <a href="https://ecrloss.com/focus-area/food-waste/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reducing food waste in retail</a></p><p><a href="https://ecrloss.com/how-engaging-store-associates-can-fight-food-waste/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Engaging store associates to fight food waste</a></p><p>Using <a href="https://ecrloss.com/podcast/store-donations-to-reduce-food-waste/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">store donations to reduce food waste</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The Egg Waste Problem
<p>Eggs don't look like a big loss problem. Look closely at the numbers and the picture changes.</p><br><p>In this episode of Sell More Lose Less, Colin Peacock is joined by food waste expert Richard Thalemann to ask why so much egg waste goes unrecorded, and what retailers can do about it.</p><br><p>They cover the rule that forces a whole box to be binned when a single egg breaks, the £2 million a year one retailer puts against it, and the merchandising habits, top shelves and floor-standing shippers, that quietly drive breakages. They also look at why markdowns and confusing date codes push shoppers to waste eggs that are still perfectly good, and why eggs past their sell by date can still be donated.</p><br><p>The message for retailers is simple: measure the problem properly before you try to fix it.</p><br><p>More on <a href="https://ecrloss.com/focus-area/food-waste/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reducing food waste in retail</a></p><p>The <a href="https://ecrloss.com/research-paper/the-true-cost-of-unsold-food-in-retail/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">true cost of unsold food in retail</a></p><p>Using <a href="https://ecrloss.com/podcast/store-donations-to-reduce-food-waste/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">store donations to reduce food waste</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
