Solve Retail's Biggest Challenges at the Staffed Checkout Counter
Cashier Fraud Is Underreported
Most retailers rely on gesture-based detection or random audits. Our AI agent identifies actual SKUs—not just movements—and ties them to specific cashiers, shift times, and SKUs.
Bottom-of-Basket Loss Costs Millions
Retailers lose ~$4,000 per lane annually to BOB items. Our patented technology detects items across the entire checkout area.
Repeat Offenders Go Undetected
Without pattern recognition, retailers can’t pinpoint their highest-risk employees. Our system analyzes every transaction to reveal which cashiers consistently break procedures, and how.
Retail shrink is evolving. Your loss prevention strategy should too
Built-in Behavioral Context
Our models go beyond simple gesture recognition, understanding the full context of shopper behavior. They adapt to different store layouts and checkout styles to ensure accurate interpretation across environments.
True Product Recognition
AI-driven visual recognition identifies products based on shape, size, and packaging, not just barcodes, so it can detect mis-scans, swaps, and sweethearting even when the barcode is obscured or manipulated.
Staff vs. Customer Differentiation
Our AI recognizes whether it's a cashier or shopper interacting with the items. That clarity prevents blame games and supports faster, fairer internal investigations.
SOP Violations Made Visible
From high-value items not being scanned individually to missed ID checks on alcohol sales, get visibility into whether your store teams are following protocols—across lanes and across stores.
