[February 02, 2012] Woolworths deploys Visual Intelligence software across existing March Networks Tweet Feb 02, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- March Networks, a provider of intelligent IP video solutions, has announced that Woolworths Limited, an Australian retail company, is deploying new Visual Intelligence software across existing March Networks video recording systems in a phased upgrade program. The software delivers enhanced live monitoring and searching capabilities that make it easier for the retailer to centrally manage surveillance video used for security and loss prevention in more than 1,300 remote locations. "We selected March Networks after evaluating multiple competitive units in our IT labs, and continue to expand with the solution," said Darin Crofts, Woolworths' Loss Prevention Manager responsible for special projects. "The software and systems are very easy to use and extremely reliable. They provide the high-quality video evidence and case management tools we need to identify and act on suspicious behavior quickly. As a result, we have seen clear returns through reduced shrinkage and fewer liability claims." The solution's remote video access capability is essential for Woolworths' Loss Prevention and Health, Safety and Environment staff. In addition, the software incorporates advanced video compression technology and bandwidth limiting features that make it possible to access video over the network without impacting core business operations. "We are proud to continue our partnership with Woolworths," said Net Payne, Chief Marketing Officer, March Networks, "and remain focused on evolving our retail solutions to help customers save time, improve operations and extract valuable business intelligence from the video surveillance network they are already using to protect their customers and assets. Our solutions provide retailers with the tools they need to significantly reduce losses from theft and fraud, while delivering the reliability and ease-of-use that sets them apart in the industry." The complete March Networks retail solution also includes Retail Transaction Investigation (RTI) software to support advanced loss prevention efforts. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
