Case Study: The Hodges Management Company stops employee theft and cuts investigation time to seconds with Delaget

KFC Above Store Leader stops employee theft in a fraction of the time he used to spend investigating loss

Hodges Management, a 30-unit KFC, Taco Bell, and Dairy Queen franchise, was struggling with employee theft and time-consuming loss-prevention work. Above Store Leader Bobby Bange spent hours poring over mailed reports and unreliable 18-year-old camera footage, which meant investigations only happened when problems were suspected. To address this, Hodges Management upgraded to Delaget’s solution, Delaget Guard, to automate exception-finding and streamline investigations.

Delaget implemented Delaget Guard integrated with Envysion video, giving side-by-side transaction and video views plus an action checklist. Within two months Hodges Management identified four employees committing theft (one totaling about $4,000), cut review time for suspicious transactions from roughly 45 minutes to seconds, and improved coaching and training opportunities. Delaget’s tools eliminated manual scanning and email workflows and let the team focus on higher priorities.
