Troch Group keeps a tab on shrinkage with Axis’ video surveillance system
The Group decided to equip all of its POS locations with video surveillance systems to prevent shrinkage

Mission

Troch Group, headquartered in Poitiers, France, is a family business that has been growing for the past 25 years and now has 20 locations throughout Western France (Saint Malo, Rennes, Nantes, Bordeaux, Toulouse, etc.) retailing high-end, ready-to-wear men's clothing.

Faced with an outbreak of inventory and cashier-related shrinkage, the Group decided to equip all of its points of sales locations with video surveillance systems to record transactions and incidents, in order to seek compensation through legal channels when necessary. The system also needed to enable centralised management of the images from all of the Troch Group locations.

Solution

After being contacted by Troch Group, SeeClic.com proposed leasing an economical system using analogue cameras connected to Axis video encoders to allow for centralised remote video management.

Result

In addition to the dissuasive effect caused by the cameras, the images from the 20 store locations can be analysed at the Troch Group headquarters and then sent to the local police department when an incident occurs. Since the system was installed, one person has already been arrested for bank card fraud. The Group's general manager, Mr. Troch, is convinced of the system's effectiveness.
