Loss Prevention
Identify items that are subject to significant theft through self-checkouts
Our technology provides object identification to deliver loss data on a granular product level, whilst simultaneously offering estate-wide checkout analysis. We are helping stores to gain more accurate figures on shrinkage in real-time.
Our Loss Prevention Solution
Our solution helps stores reduce loss without impacting customers overall shopping experience. The combined technology captures customer interactions to give you real-time insight on loss and enables instant notifications for immediate action.
Real-time Loss Insight
Estate wide checkout analysis in real-time using checkout and camera information.
Increased Accuracy
Measure, collate, compare and understand loss levels across your estate at SKU or product level without direct access to POS systems.
Real-time Alerting for Managers
Alert the right people at the right time, before and after problems occur. Automatic emails, SMS and Work Order generation.
People and Object Detection
Reduced loss without impacting the overall purchasing and shopping experience for customers.
Our Unique Features
Product Detection
Our technology detects your products in real-time using machine learning. It is trained on your specific inventory and works with own-brand products.
Edge Based – Minimal Bandwidth
Real-time detection happens at the edge, on location requiring minimal network bandwidth requirements for normal operation.
Detect Specific Scenarios
The system can detect products that have been seen but not scanned. The system can also detect products that have been scanned and not seen.
Integration with Self-Checkouts
The system integrates with barcode scanners in order to measure and detect loss. The system is capable of locking tills in order to prevent loss.
