Return On Investment
During 2011, IntelliQ engaged with the loss prevention team at John Lewis & Partners to embark on Data Challenge investigation. The aim was to help prevent losses to John Lewis to help it deliver fair prices to it’s customers. IntelliQ analysed several months’ worth of EPOS retail transaction data for instances of internal and external fraud, as well as looking at procedural anomalies occurring at the point of sale. IntelliQ created a fully functional IntelliQ system for fraud analysis. At this point, IntelliQ utilized their extensive retail fraud knowledge and domain expertise to drive out instances of internal and external fraud and weak business processes.
The John Lewis Data Challenge was a success, as IntelliQ identified potential improvements, including in areas such as organised fraud, card fraud, and refund fraud. John Lewis & Partners has since been a loyal customer of IntelliQ for over 16 years.

The results of the Data Challenge procedure demonstrated the value of the solution and paved way for John Lewis to work with IntelliQ.
