Challenges

Detecting Fraud Efficiently Across Multiple Locations

Managing security footage and transactional data from numerous retail sites made identifying fraudulent behavior laborious and prone to oversight.

Ensuring Data Security & Compliance

Handling sensitive operational and surveillance data required strict adherence to data privacy regulations, robust encryption, and secure user authentication measures.

Integrating Disparate Systems & Data Sources

Combining diverse surveillance feeds, point-of-sale data, and analytics tools demanded seamless integrations to provide a unified, actionable view of potential fraud incidents.

Scalability & Performance Under Heavy Loads

Supporting multiple stores and a growing volume of video and transactional records required a scalable, cloud-based architecture capable of maintaining performance during peak demands.

Approach

Leveraging Cloud and Cybersecurity to Deliver Real-Time Fraud Insights

Applaudo partnered with the retailer to develop a centralized cloud-based surveillance solution, incorporating a secure web portal and a mobile application. By integrating data from various sources—camera feeds, transactional records, and third-party analytics—into a single dashboard, the system provided near real-time insights into suspicious activities.

Automated alerts, secure authentication mechanisms, and encryption protocols safeguarded sensitive data, while a scalable cloud environment ensured the system could handle increased volume and complexity without compromising performance. Through iterative development, continuous testing, and close stakeholder collaboration, Applaudo optimized costs, simplified oversight, and enhanced the retailer’s ability to prevent fraudulent behavior proactively.
