£2bn+
Lost to shop theft each year

Security and insight
from one system.

Weapon detection

Instant alert the moment a knife, blade or firearm enters your shop, before a situation escalates. Duty managers get a notification with camera location and timestamp in under 200ms.

Aggression & theft behaviour

Detects suspicious loitering, aggressive confrontations at the till and behaviour patterns typical of prolific shop theft, alerting staff before stock leaves the door.

Footfall analytics

Hourly and daily visitor counts, peak-hour identification and entry-exit flow, so you can roster staff correctly and know when your shop is at its busiest.

Product engagement

Track which lines customers pick up, how long they consider them and what percentage they put back. Understand what's selling and what's just being touched.

Customer sentiment

Real-time sentiment signal across the shop floor, so you know when customer experience is dropping before it shows up in reviews, returns or lost baskets.

Cross-camera tracking

Follow a customer's route through the shop across multiple cameras, identify the path to purchase and adjust layout and merchandising accordingly.
