Retail theft has become one of the fastest-growing challenges in retail globally, costing the industry over CHF 150 billion every year.

Current solutions like locked cabinets, security tags, and guards have become the norm, turning stores into fortresses and customers into suspects. However, these approaches come with significant drawbacks: they cause a drop in sales, require extra cost due to manual work, and create more friction in the shopper experience.

ExpertVision believes there’s a better way.

We use AI-powered computer vision to make retail safer, smarter, and more human. Imagine an invisible, always-on security team – preventing theft before it happens, empowering staff to focus on customers, and restoring trust to the shopping experience.

«We envision a theft‑free world of retail, where trusted self‑service liberates stores and empowers every honest shopper to feel safe, respected, and free to enjoy the shopping experience.»

That’s the future ExpertVision is building – today.

The Solution

ExpertVision transforms existing store cameras into intelligent, real-time theft prevention systems without facial recognition and therefore fully aligned with data protection regulations. Our Swiss-based solution is plug-and-play, privacy-first and built for scale. And it is already trusted and piloted in two major Swiss retailers!

Our proprietary (patent pending) Virtual RFID technology tracks products from shelf to checkout using only standard security cameras. Thanks to this technology, ExpertVision is able to detect potential theft cases even for hidden items, partial scans or suspicious behavior, alerting staff instantly when intervention truly matters.

Here is how Virtual RFID works:

We provide comprehensive theft detection across the entire store:

Hiding products in the aisle - Detects customers taking high-value items and tracks them through the store to the checkout
Shelf-sweep - Identifies suspicious clearing of multiple products from shelves
Self-checkout control - Monitors self-checkout stations for scanning fraud
Bottom of Basket alert - Catches items hidden under shopping carts or at the bottom of baskets
Walk Out/Push out alerts - Prevents theft attempts where customers leave without paying

Store and security employees have no support today to handle these cases. Our system offers transparent secure system to record and manage high number of cases across bigger organisation.
