THE CORE PERSPECTIVES: 🔍 Distortion vs. Loss: Why a low shrink rate often hides the fact that your stock is 40% inaccurate for the actual shopper. 🤖 The Co-Pilot Mindset: Moving from manual counting to autonomous RFID so associates can focus on humans, not boxes. 📉 Data over Bias: How real-time visibility removes "gut feelings" from high-stakes merchandising decisions. THE BOTTOM LINE: Value isn't found in the code. It is found in the result. Stop counting loss and start driving action. Listen to the full episode here!
