Staff effort & productivity is opaque
Floor managers can't see who is attending, grouping, or on the phone. Wall locations sit unmanned. Conversion is attributed by gut feel.
EDITION · 2026 · RETAILTRACK · RIDERTRACK
Intelligent AI surveillance at the edge — turning every camera
into a real-time operations engine. RetailTrack for store floors & QSR,
RiderTrack for delivery hubs. High-performance Intel edge compute.
Two Products · One Platform
EdgeVision is the on-prem Vision + GenAI runtime. RetailTrack and RiderTrack are the two products built on top of it — same edge platform, same privacy guarantees, same control plane.
RETAILTRACK
Footfall, dwell, VIP recognition, staff coverage, drive-thru wait time, food-safety compliance — every camera becomes a real-time operations sensor for apparel retail and quick-service restaurants alike.
RIDERTRACK
Idle-cluster detection, presence verification, demand-and-weather correlation. The hub finally sees what the dispatcher can't.
PRODUCT 01 · RETAILTRACK
High-performance Intel edge compute on the site LAN. Hybrid Vision + GenAI on-prem. Every camera becomes a customer-and-staff intelligence sensor — across apparel retail floors, supermarkets, and quick-service restaurants — without storing a single face.
RETAILTRACK · CHAPTER 01
Modern apparel retail captures thousands of hours of CCTV every week. Almost none of it becomes a decision.
The Challenge
Stores capture hours of CCTV every shift. But almost none of it becomes a decision.
Floor managers can't see who is attending, grouping, or on the phone. Wall locations sit unmanned. Conversion is attributed by gut feel.
VM decisions are made without knowing which entry, gondola, wall, or centre table actually pulls dwell. Footfall ≠ engagement.
Store managers learn about a tier-gold visitor only at the bill counter. Loyalty runs blind to the first 60 seconds.
Footwear scattered, displays disturbed, > 4 staff in back store — visible-but-unmonitored issues that drive complaints and shrink.
RETAILTRACK · CHAPTER 02
High-performance Intel edge AI on the store LAN. Hybrid Vision + GenAI on-prem. Insights in seconds.
The Solution
High-performance Intel edge compute on the store LAN ingests existing CCTV, runs hybrid Vision + GenAI on-prem, and produces real-time alerts, dashboards, and APIs.
Existing IP / CCTV via RTSP. No new wiring.
Intel edge compute inside store. Air-gapped & isolated.
Vision + GenAI models reason over the scene.
Alerts, KPIs, clips, dashboards, APIs, WhatsApp.

RETAILTRACK · CHAPTER 03
The same feeds answer two questions at once: what is the customer experiencing? And how is the team performing?
Two Lenses
CUSTOMER ANALYTICS
STAFF ANALYTICS
Same hardware. Same cameras. Two outcomes. Intel edge compute on the store LAN — no extra installation.
In-Store Detection
Every person on the floor is detected, classified, and tracked — without ever storing a face.

Capability 01
By entry, fixture, category. Walk-in flow between categories becomes a measurable cross-category insight.
VIP & loyalty recognition at entrance. Auto-enroll dwell > 15 min. No biometric data leaves the store.
Identifies customers who buy without staff help — critical for VM, range planning and staffing.
Correlate bills with in-store trail. Every transaction becomes a journey: dwell, attended-by, time-to-bill.

VIP Recognition Flow
A loyalty member walks in. Within 3 seconds the manager has identity, history, and a recommended action — without a single cloud round-trip.
Privacy-preserving embedding match against the store-local gallery. No raw faces leave the box.
Manager pinged via WhatsApp / app — name, tier, last visit, last basket, preferences.
Next-best-action: assign senior associate, push targeted POS offer, trigger follow-up sequence.
Capability 02
Flags clusters of staff grouped > 1 minute without an active customer. Manager receives a real-time alert with clip.
Detects when a staffed wall is unattended beyond threshold during peak hours. Trended hourly, store by store.
Phone use detected with thresholds (1 min floor, 2 min back store). Coaching tool, not a surveillance tool.
Capability 02 · Continued
Time between staff leaving the brand location to look for a size and returning with stock. Per-brand, per-staff, per-shift.
Stitching the journey to attending staff and POS bill yields an objective attended-conversion score.

RETAILTRACK · QSR EDITION
Quick-service restaurants run on three numbers: speed, accuracy, and food safety. Every camera in the dining room, kitchen, and drive-thru already sees them. RetailTrack turns them into a live signal.
QSR Capabilities
Three operational levers every QSR brand tracks weekly via spreadsheets and mystery-shopper audits. RetailTrack tracks them per-shift, per-station, per-car — automatically.
Drive-thru wait time per lane, counter queue length, mobile-pickup dwell, time-to-first-bag — every daypart benchmarked against itself, not a corporate average.
Idle stations, expo bottleneck, fry-station coverage, grill hand-off delays — flagged the moment they exceed threshold, not after the rush has already cost a guest.
Gloves, hairnets, handwash frequency, holding-time at the heat lamp, spillage detection — scene-aware checks with low false-positive, ready for the next FSSAI / health audit.
Drive-Thru Operations
The drive-thru is the single biggest revenue line at most QSR sites — and the hardest to measure without a manager standing in the lot. RetailTrack instruments it end-to-end on the cameras you already have.

PRODUCT 02 · RIDERTRACK
An AI-powered surveillance and video-summarisation product for quick-commerce dark stores — running on high-performance Intel edge compute that sees what the dispatcher cannot.
RiderTrack · The Challenge
Quick-commerce dark stores face inefficiencies as delivery agents exploit the system during difficult conditions — rain, traffic, low-demand windows. The dispatcher sees the symptom; nobody sees the cause.
During rain or heavy traffic, some agents deliberately remain idle in waiting areas — falsely signalling a shortage of available riders to the dispatch system.
The roster says the rider is on shift. Without privacy-preserving recognition, the hub has no objective record of who is actually on the apron and active.
False scarcity triggers artificial surge pricing and unnecessary cost spikes. Customer charges go up, customer satisfaction goes down — both manufactured by the gap.
Floor managers and HQ have no transparent insight into idle patterns, exploitation, or accountability — until an audit, weeks later. Workforce decisions stay gut-driven.
RiderTrack · The Solution
An AI-powered surveillance and video-summarisation product. RiderTrack onboards agents via privacy-preserving recognition, tracks presence and movement, monitors real-time activity, and flags idle behaviour — providing transparent insights to operations teams and enabling timely intervention before the surge model fires.
Existing apron, gate & loading-bay CCTV via RTSP.
Intel edge compute. Air-gapped. ~100 TOPS on-prem.
Clusters · presence · demand-weather correlation.
Dispatcher console · WhatsApp · surge-model guardrail API.
Live Hub Console
RiderTrack · Capability 01
Detects clusters of ≥ 3 riders idle > N minutes at a hub zone. Pings dispatch before the surge model fires.
Privacy-preserving embedding match against the on-shift roster. Confirms the apron rider is the rider on the system.
Stitches local weather, event calendar, app order velocity and hub footage into one curve — surface spikes before they hit ETAs.
Bag in / bag out, helmet-down, unauthorised vehicle — every event is a clip and a timestamp, indexed for review.
Surge Guardrail Flow
A cluster of riders is detected. Within three seconds the surge model has a guardrail signal, the dispatcher has the clip, and the riders have a nudge — long before the customer sees an inflated price.
Cluster of 4 riders idle > 3 min at Gate-A. Edge runtime produces an event, a count, and a clip pointer.
Dispatcher + duty manager pinged via WhatsApp / console with a one-tap clip. Surge API receives a "real-capacity = 4" hint.
Surge multiplier delayed until cluster clears or quorum drops. Riders nudged via app. Customer sees the true price.
RiderTrack · Results
RiderTrack measurably shifts the operating curve of a quick-commerce hub — across cost, productivity, customer experience, and transparency.
Reduction in artificially triggered surge pricing and unnecessary cost spikes — the dispatch model sees true on-apron capacity.
Improved delivery-agent productivity and resource utilisation. Idle behaviour gets flagged and addressed in the same shift, not weeks later.
Enhanced customer satisfaction through better availability and reduced delivery charges — fewer manufactured "no riders nearby" moments.
Increased operational transparency and data-driven workforce management. Floor managers and HQ see the same objective view, on the same console.

SAFETY DETECTION
COACHING WORKFLOW
RiderTrack is a coaching tool, not a surveillance tool. No raw faces or biometrics leave the hub. Clips are retained on a FIFO policy you configure.

PLATFORM · CHAPTER 05
Why GenAI-powered analytics finally makes the in-store camera a primary business sensor.
The Paradigm Shift
| Dimension | Traditional CV | EdgeVision GenAI |
|---|---|---|
| Detection | Bounding boxes & pixel thresholds | Contextual scene understanding |
| Accuracy | High false-positive in varying light | Adaptive to lighting & occlusions |
| Self-Service | Cannot determine purchase intent | Full customer journey with billing |
| Hygiene | Static detection, frequent false alerts | Scene-aware: items vs. decor |
| Adaptability | Manual re-calibration per store | Self-adapting, zero retraining |
| Insights | Counts and timestamps only | Rich descriptions: why, not what |
"Traditional analytics tells you someone entered the store. EdgeVision tells you they browsed for 4 minutes, showed interest in the brand wall, and left without purchasing — and which staff member was nearest."
