Why Customers are Choosing Whooster
It’s The Best Phone Analysis Tool I’ve Ever Seen
“Whooster is the best phone analysis tool I have ever seen. One of my analysts just used it to locate a guy in 5 minutes that we had been searching for over two weeks to find. Sorry if I sound like an infomercial, but this system is great.”
The Golden Ticket of Go-To Databases
“Since our office received a trial subscription to the Whooster data service, it has quickly become one of the go-to databases of our agency and has earned the prized position of being put on my browser’s toolbar.”
Risk Management & Compliance
Retailers need to expand their geographic footprint to increase revenue and profit. A lack of visibility into their supply chains is increasing their risks. Third-party suppliers have to follow strict data protection protocols. Whooster Data Solutions provide structured global risk intelligence, empowering retailers with intelligence to enable Know-Your-Customer and Know-Your-Vendor to help their business conform with key components of anti-terrorism and money laundering laws.
Loss Prevention
Loss prevention is all about reducing shrink and managing risk. Whether conducting an internal investigation, searching for people, or hunting down criminal organizations, you need fast and accurate results. Loss prevention professionals can use Whooster's data solutions to quickly locate people based on their phone number, address, email, and other information. Discover inconsistencies and spot indicators of potential fraud, flag bankruptcies, and authenticate individuals and transactions before the sale is final.
Fight Organized Retail Crime
Organized retail crime (ORC), the large-scale theft of retail merchandise with the intent to resell the items for financial gain, is on the rise. Criminal enterprises are employing expert individuals and strategic networks to steal massive quantities of merchandise from brick-and-mortar and virtual retailers. These crime rings frequently unload their stolen goods through online sale sites and other digital forums, allowing them to hide behind the internet without fully revealing their identities. Whooster Data Solutions allows businesses to seamlessly filter through billions of public, private, and OSINT datasets to discover valuable intelligence for their security operations.
