With retail crime on the rise, and labor shortages still in play, retailers
need to automate and digitize their efforts to address safety and security
issues. Sensormatic Solutions uses Computer Vision technology to power
a variety of analytics that provide real-time monitoring of both sensitive
areas and specific behaviors associated with safety or suspicious activity.
Real-time alerts reduce the need to manually audit an area and allows
staff to respond immediately to avoid safety and violation exposure.
Computer Vision analytics can:

• Detect Slip and Fall occurrences
• Identify loitering activity to thwart potential criminal activity or theft
• Spot aggressive behavior to mitigate a situation before it escalates
• Notify staff when an emergency exit is blocked to ensure OSHA
  standards are being met

Empty shelves and out-of-stocks don’t just risk the loss of a sale, but the loss of a customer or even brand reputation, as well. Sensormatic Solutions helps retailers avoid these risks with On-Floor Visibility. On-Floor Visibility integrates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with TrueVUE Cloud item-level inventory analytics to help stores control their current in-stock positions. Using high-speed inventory counting, store associates can know exactly which — and precisely when — items should be moved from the stock room to the sales floor in order to avoid preventable out-of-stocks and deliver a positive customer experience.

• Maximize on-shelf availability – Replenish items throughout the day with real-time notifications
• Improve inventory accuracy – Ensure accuracy of current stock positions with frequent cycle counting and inventory tracking activities
• Boost shopper engagement – Help drive positive customer experiences by helping shoppers find what they want, when they want it

The front of the retail store is a critical hub in understanding shopper activity. Storefront Visibility brings together traffic analytics, Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems, RFID item-level Inventory data and computer vision insights to help improve customer conversion, in-store experiences while helping identify and prevent theft events from eroding your bottom line. Theft driven out-of-stocks can tarnish the customer experience and prevent your stores from executing their sales goals. Predictive real-time analytics enables preventative storefront insights which can help optimize associate scheduling, reduce out-of-stock, strengthen loss prevention investigative efforts and boost selling activity.

• Optimize associate scheduling – Align labor to in-store traffic opportunities to help elevate customer service engagements
• Reduce out-of-stock – Understand what, when and how many items are stolen during shoplifting events to quickly replenish missing merchandise on the sales floor
• Strengthen loss prevention investigative efforts – Integrate video capture for post-event forensic analysis of existing and emerging tactics in retail theft
• Boost selling activity – Update inventory stock levels in real-time, enabling associates to quickly replenish missing items on the sales floor and confidently execute BOPIS and BOPAC strategies

With shoppers increasingly opting for new fulfillment services, such as buy-online, pick-in-store (BOPIS), having accurate inventory data tagged with radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors is critical to success. When merchandise is tagged at the source of manufacturing, you gain access to real-time item level inventory data throughout the supply chain, allowing stores to convert into mini fulfillment centers. With better insights into inventory management, you can quickly and accurately locate merchandise of a specific style, color, and size to profitably fulfill BOPIS, BOPAC and online orders wherever it’s most convenient to do so.  ​​

• Ensure shopping confidence- Achieve item level inventory accuracy across your stores with TrueVUE Cloud and RFID technology   ​
• Frictionless Shopping – Utilize RFID to quickly and accurately locate merchandise to fulfill omnichannel orders, where and when shoppers choose to buy. ​
• Build Brand Loyalty – Ensure customer brand satisfaction and loyalty by verifying delivery and authenticity of genuine brand products  ​
• Leverage Computer Vision technology to detect the arrival of customers arriving at a BOPAC area to ensure timely fulfillment of orders and gather metrics on wait and time to serve to improve operations
