Learn how a neighborhood store in New York uses AI to stop shoplifters

Discover the exclusive testimony from Edfury T., manager of FoodTown in the New York area, who installed Veesion technology instead of a traditional anti-theft system.

Edfury T. describes the reasons for his strategic choice, highlighting the speed of installation of the solution, real-time alerts, and the ability for immediate intervention.

Store setting and location

This large multicultural neighborhood store, located in New York City, offers a wide range of products and serves a significant number of customers, accommodating more than 100 customers at once.

Challenges

Before Veesion, the store was losing up to $40,000 annually due to shoplifting. This required extra vigilance from the team.

The store encountered complications as they had to go back and review camera footage to verify whether the suspect had actually stolen something.

It was difficult for the store to keep up with all of the customers while stopping shoplifters.

Benefits unlocked with Veesion

The Veesion solution has enabled Edfury’s store to save money by detecting shoplifting.

Veesion provides round-the-clock monitoring of all the store’s security cameras. A much-appreciated tool for security, who can be in several places at once, and act immediately whenever they suspect there is a shoplifting.

The tool enables security guards to monitor the store’s entrance while receiving real-time alerts about what’s happening in the aisles.

“After six months of using Veesion, we saw a huge reduction of shoplifting cases” – Edfury T., manager of a FoodTown in the New York City region.
