Case Study: EDEKA Hessenring reduces inventory differences and accelerates fraud detection with QlikView (Qlik)

Toshiba TEC reduces inventory differences at EDEKA Hessenring with QlikView

TOSHIBA TEC partnered with EDEKA Hessenring to tackle persistent inventory differences and fraud in retail — a problem that contributes to billions in losses industry-wide. EDEKA’s four auditors faced more than 36 million lines of POS accounting data per month across 73 markets and a highly varied cash register landscape, so they needed an independent, low‑overhead analytics tool to detect irregularities faster and reduce costs from incorrect postings and theft.

TOSHIBA TEC developed the storeMate loss prevention application on QlikView in just four weeks, giving EDEKA fast, in‑memory analysis of very large datasets (15–20 TB/36M+ records) and the ability to drill down to individual receipts. The solution increased detection of irregularities, shortened response times, provided evidence for legal follow‑up, enabled cross‑functional analyses (campaigns, training) and delivered rapid results even at high data volumes.
