From Data to Decisions. From Incidents to Intelligence.
Power by the RLPKS Fusion Engine
Fusion Watch™
Retail crime can change quickly.
A new organized retail crime pattern, emerging theft method, or developing hotspot can appear weeks before it becomes obvious through traditional reporting.
The RLPKS Fusion Watch™ continuously evaluates new intelligence to identify meaningful changes in the retail crime environment.
Rather than generating routine daily reports, Fusion Watch™ is designed to notify customers only when something significant changes.
That means every alert is intended to be timely, relevant, and actionable.
Continuous Intelligence Monitoring
As new customer incident data and contextual intelligence become available, the RLPKS National Fusion Watch Centre™ evaluates the current intelligence picture.
The system looks for meaningful changes in:
-
Geographic hotspots
-
Theft trends
-
Merchandise targeting
-
Organized retail crime indicators
-
Violence and threat indicators
-
Retail Crime Intelligence Index (RCII™)
-
Retail Threat Forecast™
-
Intelligence Confidence Rating™
The objective is to identify developing patterns as early as reasonably possible.
Marketplace Correlation Matrix™
The RLPKS Marketplace Correlation Matrix™ enhances retail crime intelligence by comparing public marketplace trends with retailer-submitted incident data, geographic hotspots, organized retail crime indicators, and other intelligence sources. By identifying correlations across multiple independent datasets, the platform helps detect emerging retail theft patterns earlier, strengthens analyst confidence, and supports more informed operational decisions. Public marketplace information is used solely as contextual intelligence and is not interpreted as evidence that any individual listing involves stolen property.
Why Fusion Watch™ Is Different
Continuous Intelligence Monitoring
Fusion Watch™ continuously evaluates customer-contributed incident data alongside contextual intelligence to identify meaningful changes in the retail crime environment. Rather than relying on fixed reporting schedules, it maintains an up-to-date intelligence picture that supports timely decision-making.
Threshold-Based Intelligence Alerts
Customers are notified only when predefined intelligence thresholds are met, such as emerging hotspots, significant changes in theft trends, or developing organized retail crime indicators. This approach reduces unnecessary notifications and ensures alerts are timely, relevant, and actionable.
Analyst-Validated Intelligence
Every Fusion Watch™ alert combines automated intelligence analysis with professional analyst review before publication. This helps ensure assessments are supported by available evidence, confidence levels are clearly communicated, and recommendations are practical for retail operations.
