Agilence Certifies Industry-Leading Loss Prevention Solution with Cisco’s Video Surveillance Manager

NEW YORK – National Retail Federation’s (NRF) Big Show (January 12, 2010) — Agilence, Inc., the leader in point-of-sale video auditing solutions, today announced that its innovative POS shrink reduction solution, Hawkeye 3.3, has been certified with Cisco’s Video Surveillance Manager.

 

Hawkeye helps retailers quickly identify point-of-sale losses caused by operational and systemic issues as well as associate fraud and enables retailers to reduce shrink by up to 50%.  Key features from Hawkeye 3.3 include live alerts, the ability to import data from external sources and support for the latest IP camera technologies.

 

With this Agilence certification, Hawkeye 3.3 integrates within Cisco’s video surveillance portfolio – allowing it to be deployed as part of Cisco’s Connected Physical Security solutions.

 

 “At Agilence we’ve created a cutting-edge product that enables retailers to reduce shrink at the POS,” states Derek Rodner, VP of Product Strategy. “Retailers can leverage Cisco’s innovative video surveillance platform combined with Hawkeye to uncover previously undetected areas of shrink, such as operational, promotional and systemic issues and maximize the ROI of their technology investment.”

Agilence’s patented item-level synchronization software pulls data directly from the point-of-sale system and marries the data with video in real-time. The data for each individual item scan and key punch is perfectly linked to its associated video image. The instantly visible video for the suspect line-item saves loss prevention analysts significant time.

 

“We’re excited that Agilence has certified the Hawkeye solution with Cisco Video Surveillance Manager and our IP-based video surveillance cameras,” states Lindsay Parker, Director of Retail Solutions at Cisco. “Agilence’s innovative shrink reduction technology, coupled with Cisco’s IP-based video surveillance technology and our unmatched strength in IP-based networking, will give retailers a much faster and more powerful way to detect, investigate, and ultimately reduce shrink across the entire enterprise.”

 

Agilence will showcase Hawkeye 3.3 in Cisco’s booth (#2529) at the NRF Big Show from January 10 – January 12 in New York. 

 

Agilence develops intelligent loss prevention solutions that enable retailers to quickly identify point-of-sale losses caused by operational errors, promotion execution, systemic errors, and associate fraud that directly impact the profitability of the organization.  The Agilence solution can reduce point-of-sale shrink by up to 50% and provide retailers with a 6-to-1 ROI in less than 12 months.
