Q: How does Panoptyc work?
A: Panoptyc uses a combination of machine learning, data analysis, and human viewing to catch theft, monitor markets, and save operators time watching footage.
Q: What’s the pitch?
A: You know that theft is a problem at MicroMarkets. But how do you catch it? Through countless hours of footage and kiosk analysis, Panoptyc found that most of the theft occurring at MicroMarkets happens through the Cancel report. Consumers walk up, press some buttons and it looks like they paid when they really just walk out with the items.
Panoptyc uses 365’s existing technology, and their proprietary machine learning technology, to find the most suspicious behavior at markets and deliver daily reports to operators. The reports outline the:
- Suspicious behavior (including photos)
- Time and date of each suspicious transaction
- Frequency of suspicious behavior for each consumer
This allows operators to focus on the repeat offenders. They can catch much more theft in a fraction of the time.
Q: Who should work with Panoptyc?
A: Any operator who cares about reducing theft! Panoptyc will make them exponentially more efficient, saving them time and enabling them to combat theft. Operators work with Panoptyc for the following reasons as well:
- They know they could sell more MM locations, but still hear the "theft objection" from cautious customers.
- They know employees are stealing but are frustrated that it's hard to catch and prove.
- They do not have the people or time to review DVR footage to catch.
- They are frustrated that theft is still an issue despite the amount of resources and time they devote to loss.
