Intelligent Fraud Prevention


Starling offers advanced fraud detection capabilities that leverages artificial intelligence to analyze fraudulent shopping behaviors. Discrepancies trigger alerts that are sent to the store attendants.

A security scale in the bagging area verifies items against the weight in the database.

Computer vision is used for crime prediction and pick list assistance. In addition to the smart security camera, Starling also has the option of camera-based age verification.

EAS/RFID tag deactivation is available as an optional feature.
 


Cash, Card and Contactless

Payment is easy and quick with support for debit and credit cards, contactless, mobile, and cash payment through the current POS system. Brackets are available for the most popular payment terminals and additional brackets can be added on demand. The optional cash management module offers advanced coin and paper bill recycling.

Brackets for payment terminals are available for:
 



AI-driven SCO Software 

 
In addition to the hardware and furniture, Starling includes a module-based self-checkout software with easy step-by-step instructions and a customizable checkout flow and user interface. Starling controls all the peripherals such as the security and produce scale, barcode scanner, tri-light, and security cameras. By leveraging artificial intelligence to analyze data, Starling generates fewer interventions and provides advanced theft detection. 

Starling is POS agnostic and can easily be integrated with your store’s current POS software. Partner Tech offers an API toolkit for integration with POS software, loyalty systems, and other ISV solutions. 
 


Real-time Monitoring & Management

Partner Tech offers the capability to track and proactively manage Starling remotely, in real-time. This is a critical component in ensuring asuccessful rollout. It quickly identifies and resolves issues to minimize downtime and provide early detection of negative trends, allowing retailers to quickly make adjustments to increase usage and prevent fraud. 
 
Certain events can trigger an alert to be sent to a store associate, store manager, or the store’s IT support.
 
With better insight into the performance of the self-checkout, retailers can make smarter decisions and take action to improve the performance and profitability of the SCO system. This valuable data makes the difference between failure and success. As an example, with visibility to the top items that cause interventions, retailers can take measures to reduce fraud and make small adjustments to make the SCO more efficient to use.
