US-based Clickit currently provides a comprehensive range of video solutions designed for retail environments. Clickit’s smart analytics feature people counting, dwell analysis, smart alerts and smart refund, providing its portfolio of retail clients with the platform to analyse key management and commercial/marketing performance data.

Oncam Global will now partner with Clickit to deploy its award-winning Grandeye 360 degree imaging technology portfolio into an integrated management and security solution for the retail market place. In the first months since this agreement has been in place, this innovative solution has been installed in over 1500 major retail outlets throughout the US. The combination of 360-degree visual surveillance and automated business analytics provides a market focused situational awareness capability ideally suited to large scale retail networks.

Oncam Global will use their patented Grandeye technology, as part of its strategy to take control of the 360-degree development market across multiple strategic sectors. The unique de-warping technology provides a previously unavailable ability to rapidly and accurately process quality 360 degree visuals without complicated moving camera parts and lengthy and expensive digital processing.

Jim Carey, CEO of Clickit, said the deal with Oncam Global will be an initial five year partnership agreement, aimed at delivering a solution which will give retail operators full-site situational awareness as well as the ability to readily access and measure key performance information.

He added: “The combined technology solution provides constant and complete security awareness, as well as providing the ability to easily access and measure key performance information, which is a perfect combination of company’s strengths”.

In addition to helping retailers monitor, control and secure their sites, “Oncam Global will enter into a product-development partnership with Clickit, designing integrated solutions to provide increased situational awareness combined with real time access to patterns of activity and business intelligence for the marketplace,” said Carey.

Firas Bashee, Chief Executive Officer of Oncam Global Group, said the partnership with Clickit represents a key phase in its US expansion strategy. “The world of 360 is growing and our market leading Grandeye technology has positioned us effectively to continue our leadership and exploit new growth opportunities across the market place,” he added. “We are very excited about our product development partnership with Clickit, which will give us key penetration in the US market place as well as the platform to enter and expand into new target regions across the globe. We now very much look forward to deploying our leading product technology portfolio to develop an integrated solution that will deliver a paradigm shift in how retail operators monitor, control and secure their sites.”
