Computer Vision Streamlines Transactions and Prevents Loss 


Otter's AI ​​module uses computer vision combined with input from the security scale to identify items and detect both fraudulent activity and honest mistakes in real time. Otter enables you to minimize manual interventions and delivers a smoother, more efficient checkout experience—while the system actively prevents loss and theft.
 

Picklist Assistant: Produce Recognition

 
  • Fast, accurate identification of produce, baked goods and other non-packaged items
  • No need to navigate menus or search bars
  • Automatic detection whether an item is sold by weight or count
 

Intelligent Crime Predictor

 
  • Quickly detect potential theft (eg banana trick, mislabling, non-scanned items, no payment)
  • Prompt customers to self-correct "honest" mistakes
  • Alert staff to suspicous behavior in real-time


 

Self-Learning Weight Managment System Boosts Accuracy and Efficiency

Partner Tech's intelligent, self-learning weight management system supports weight data collected across multiple stores to continuously improve accuracy and reduce weight-related errors and interventions.
 
  • Chain-wide weight data collection for improved accuracy
  • Significant reduction of weight-related interventions



 

Mobile Checkout with Scan & Go

 
For added convenience, Scan & Go enables app-free mobile checkout. Shoppers simply scan a QR code at the store entrance to turn their smartphone into a barcode scanner–no app download or registration required. At checkout the weight of all items are validated by the Partner Tech's SCO for extra security,
