The benefits of scan avoidance technology

Have you heard about scan avoidance technology? It may not get a lot of high-profile attention outside of the retail world, but it is literally saving retailers billions at manned and self-checkout counters. We recently had the chance to connect with Malay Kundu, founder and CEO of Cambridge, Mass.-based StopLift, to get some thoughts on why retail chains worldwide are installing StopLift Checkout Vision Systems’ Scan-It-All video recognition technology to detect scan avoidance incidence at both the manned and self-checkout. Working with retailers on four continents, including Tesco in the UK, StopLift has already detected and confirmed more than one million incidents at thousands of checkouts.
