What is the ThinkLP and ALTO Integration?
ThinkLP has partnered with ALTO to provide a simplified solution for sharing incident data, designed to reduce case resolution time and better assist prosecution, ultimately contributing to reducing retail crime and fostering safer communities.
This collaboration enhances how joint customers manage incidents, making it easier to report and navigate the legal process. ALTO is a community-focused organization that works with retailers, law enforcement, and prosecutors to ensure offenders are held accountable, reducing risks and disruptions in retail environments.
As Rhett Asher, Senior Vice President at ALTO, explains:
“With ThinkLP’s data, we can keep stores safe and ensure offenders face consequences. This partnership works because we complement each other so well.”
The integration simplifies the process of moving case data from ThinkLP’s Loss & Safety Intelligence platform to ALTO, allowing for quicker, more efficient prosecution. ThinkLP’s platform already organizes incident data, which can now be transferred directly to ALTO’s system through a secure API. Tony Sheppard, Vice President of Retail Risk at ThinkLP, highlights:
“Our platform already holds the data retailers need—this integration ensures it gets to ALTO quickly, saving time and effort.”
The next phase of the integration will include feeding case dispositions back into ThinkLP, offering comprehensive tracking of the entire case lifecycle, from reporting to resolution. This will allow retailers to stay informed and track the progress of cases in real time.
