You’ve likely rented a DVD from a Redbox or cashed in your penny jar at the Coinstar kiosk at your neighborhood grocery store. But have you thought about the loss prevention challenges associated with these high-tech “vending machines” that dispense valuable merchandise or cash in an unmanned environment? The loss prevention team at Seattle-based Outerwall brings traditional LP experience to this new “automated retail” business that could not exist without ensuring that both customers and their retail partners who host their kiosks are fully confident in the kiosk performance. It’s an intriguing concept that could likely have you partnering with the Outerwall LP team at some point in the future. Learn more in the November-December 2015 issue of LP Magazine.
