WESTBORO, Mass., May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROS-Retail, a
division of MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), and leading
provider of retail technology for the specialty and general
merchandise retail industry, today announced BJ's Wholesale's
successful launch of MICROS-Retail's next generation loss
prevention and business analytics solution, XBR Ingenium
(XBRi).
As an existing user of MICROS-Retail's XBR, BJ's launched a
pilot of XBR Ingenium, the latest loss prevention offering from the
family of MICROS-Retail analytics products. After a successful
pilot program, BJ's is now deploying MICROS-Retail XBR Ingenium
company-wide, seeking to increase the investigative capabilities
and productivity of its asset protection team.
MICROS-Retail XBR Ingenium provides more flexible and behavioral
exception reports, allowing organizations to focus on the key areas
of fraudulent activity. With an interactive dashboard, field users
can quickly spot high-risk areas in their stores and
districts. Interactive functionality, such as pivoting,
drilling and linking, provides power users with ultimate
flexibility and endless analytical capabilities. Additionally,
MICROS-Retail XBR Ingenium is highly intuitive and easy to use,
allowing all users to quickly learn the solution and identify
fraudulent activity. This allows BJ's asset protection team to be
more proactive and efficient in identifying, tracking and resolving
issues.
"Through the assistance of the MICROS team, we have implemented
a tool that is analyst, end-user and administrator friendly. I am
confident this will drive higher case identification and provide a
strong ROI in short order," stated Charles
Delgado, Vice President of Asset Protection at BJ's
Wholesale.
Raoul Ricard, Vice President of
Development at MICROS-Retail, stated; "In addition to focusing on
the new technology, BJ's also focused closely on the users'
acceptance of the software and increased case productivity. These
were key to the successful rollout. MICROS-Retail is committed to
product development and innovation, with a focus on developing
solutions to help our customers reduce costs and capture top line
revenues."
