Retailer & Risk Management
Use Case: Automating Risk Management for Retail Companies with WhoMeta and ServiceNow Integration
The Evolving Risk Landscape for Retailers
Retail companies in Germany face an increasing number of operational risks, including theft, vandalism, fire hazards, and customer safety incidents. These risks, if not managed properly, can lead to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruption.
In response to these challenges, many retailers rely on ServiceNow as their core platform for incident management and corporate workflow automation. However, without real-time risk monitoring and automated incident response, retailers struggle to efficiently match risks with incidents, report problems in a timely manner, and generate the necessary documentation for insurance claims.
WhoMeta Inc., with its comprehensive suite of tools, including WhoMeta OS, WhoMeta Flow, and WhoMeta App, integrates seamlessly with ServiceNow to automate risk management and streamline operational workflows for retailers. This integration enhances retailers’ ability to detect, respond to, and manage incidents in real time.

Use Case:
As the retail industry grows more complex, German retail companies face increasing challenges in managing incidents and operational risks across multiple store locations.
