How to reach us
Theft & inventory imbalances
The German retail sector loses billions of euros in turnover every year due to inventory discrepancies, which is up to 1% of total revenue. Customers, organisational errors, suppliers but also employees are the most frequent causes of losses. In order to reduce inventory discrepancies, the retail trade has increasingly relied on employee training and data analysis in merchandise management in recent years. Recently, however, open video surveillance has come to dominate as the most popular security measure in the sector.
Why VTIS is the right partner
We use individual cameras in different subareas to achieve the most effective solution for you. In the checkout area, we install high-resolution IP cameras that automatically achieve brilliant mug shots in HD resolution in the event of assaults on the checkout staff, naturally without the card payment terminal being in the camera’s field of vision. The same camera can be linked to the POS system and documents the cashier transactions. In this way, the actual quantities of goods issued can be visually related to the cash register journal, as can the opening of the cash register without a registration process.

Countering organized theft
According to police crime statistics, reported shoplifting increased by 7.1% in 2015 compared to the previous year. The Federal Criminal Police Office and the EHI Retail Institute estimate that around a quarter of all shoplifting is attributable to gangs and organized crime. With our VTIS video surveillance tailored to your individual needs, in addition to deterring thieves, you can provide detectives with real-time surveillance while delivering information to help solve thefts or provide evidence.
Optimize customer frequency measurements
Customer frequency measurements in retail are becoming increasingly important. Many companies reward their employees based on customer frequency – more customers more profit sharing. For this model to work, an automated and accurate method is needed to provide relevant information about visitor traffic. We offer you a comprehensive and practical tool for customer behavior analysis. Not only does this provide a precise count of customers; it also gives you access to numerous applications to drive more visitors to your stores.
Analyze customer behavior
With video surveillance from VTIS, you get insights on your customers’ activities – in real time. We combine smart devices, software, analytics and reporting solutions into one powerful tool to improve your business performance. The result is a higher return on infrastructure (such as your IP video system), personnel and marketing investments, as well as improved visitor-to-customer conversion rates. Comparable analytics were previously only accessible in the online space. With VTIS, you use your IP video system as an active marketing tool.
No project runs like the other, so it is important for us to remain flexible and to be able to respond professionally to changing requirements. Using the example of one of Germany’s largest food discounters, we were able to handle a new requirement reliably and on time in a late project state. Specifically, this involved a new lighting concept for the discounter’s stores.
The new lighting concept and the resulting changes to the ceiling plans prevented the professional installation of the cameras. From planning to installation, we developed individual camera suspensions especially for this project, quickly, precisely and on schedule.
With VTIS, you benefit from a large partner network, highly trained employees and our many years of experience in the retail sector, which we would like to pass on to you in a joint project.
