This is the source use-case definition used for the pipeline.

Problem

ORC operations often route goods to a central resale location, but retailers struggle to connect distributed store incidents into a coherent investigation narrative.

Incidents are siloed by store, limiting cross-store pattern recognition
LP teams spend weeks manually correlating thefts to broader networks
Inconsistent evidence collection reduces the strength of investigations
Hard to prioritize which patterns represent a ring vs. isolated shoplifting

Solution

Devices: Zebra mobile computers/tablets for store LP teams to capture standardized incident details and requested evidenceSoftware: Zebra Workcloud Actionable Intelligence to cluster and link incidents across stores by SKU/category/time patternsSoftware: Zebra Workcloud Task Management to assign cross-store evidence requests and follow-ups
