Hikvision USA and VoloForce Announce Development of Industry-First Retail Brand Surveillance Software

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., March 31, 2014 /CNW/ - Hikvision USA, a global leader in video surveillance products and solutions, announced today that it is partnering with VoloForce to develop an industry-first retail brand surveillance software.

Video has traditionally been used for loss prevention in retail; however, the amount of money lost through shrinkage in retail is nothing compared to the amount of money lost when consumers walk out of a store without purchasing due to failed in-store execution.

Real Cadence by VoloForce provides assistance with scheduled and automatic tasks strategic to a company's global brand execution through employee actions. Real Cadence enables retail brand owners to see their checklists and brand processes come to life through its app-based software.

"We needed a global partner that not only provided hardware but also provided an effective, reliable solution for our retail customers," said Paul Zsebedics, CEO of VoloForce. "Hikvision is that partner, providing us with a full line of end-to-end video solutions that is not only cost-effective for our customers, but that also reduces significant cost in installations through a best-in-class NVR with a built-in POE switch."

"The value of our work relies on how beneficial our products are for our customers," says Jeffrey He, Hikvision USA president. "Our technology partnership with VoloForce enhances our capabilities for helping the retail market segment succeed. While Hikvision video surveillance products have been proven to be best-in-class in a variety of demanding environments, retail continues to be one of the main verticals we focus on."

With the integration of Hikvision's line of IP cameras and embedded recording solutions, VoloForce gives management insight into individual retail locations by mapping video to zones and sections that allow brand owners to not only to see how their brand strategy is being executed, but to also see when it was executed. Real Cadence helps organizations elevate their brands while significantly reducing cost by eliminating the need for regional managers to drive from location to location.
