Need:
A
large retail pharmacy identified high shrink in the shaving category. Looking to
test and validate the impact of new fixtures on their shrink, they came to RGIS.
The retailer needed support performing partial inventories
before and after new fixtures were installed. They selected
50 stores to test and needed to identify if shrink decreased after the installs.

compare the results and make a decision about the effectiveness of the new fixtures in less than 3 months.
