How AI Video Analytics is Changing the Retail Industry

Retail has always been a business built on understanding people. AI retail analytics transforms the cameras you already own into intelligent sensors that count customers, track movement patterns, detect long queues, recognize returning visitors, and flag suspicious behavior.

The Challenges Retailers Face Today

Flying Blind on Customer Behavior

Most store managers know their daily sales totals, but they have very little insight into what happens between the moment a customer walks through the door and the moment they reach the register.

Checkout Lines That Drive Customers Away

Long wait times at checkout are one of the top reasons shoppers abandon purchases in physical stores.

Shrinkage and Loss Prevention

Retail shrinkage costs the global retail industry hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
