Our take

Across the globe, profit-motivated and organised crime costs trillions of dollars each year, with retail theft costing the world over $100B annually. However, shoplifting has become an “accepted” business cost, often unreported and unsolved, that businesses factor theft costs into their budgets and forecasts. Auror’s platform for retailers is focused on preventing crime, reducing loss, and making stores safer.

The company uses data visibility technology for fast and easy reporting of crime, providing crimefighters with the intelligence they need to not only solve more crime, but also provides insights as to how to prevent future shoplifting. Connected with over 2,000 law enforcement agencies, it drives a 50% improvement in debt recovery rates and resolves cases that would ordinarily never be investigated within two weeks.

The company has expanded globally, with offices in New Zealand, Australia, the USA, and the UK, and works with some of the largest retailers in these countries, including Walmart, Woolworths, and Coles. Auror’s successful expansions and proven product have it well set to be at the centre of greatly reducing retail theft across the globe.
