We enable retailers to loss less and sell more.
What they do:
Our AI solutions connect directly to existing video-surveillance cameras to detect shoplifting gestures and analyze customer behavior. By measuring customer experience in real time, we deliver actionable insights that help improve conversion rates, increase average basket size, and drive overall revenue growth.
Why we Invested:
The global AI-driven retail theft deterrence market was valued at approximately $2.43 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $7.82 billion by 2032 (CAGR ~15.7%, SNS Insider / GII Research, 2025). The broader global retail theft problem is estimated at $132–160 billion annually, with AI-enabled loss prevention capturing a growing share as unit economics improve and SaaS deployment models reduce retailer adoption friction.
