Detailed view

Retailers today operate in an environment defined by rising theft, safety concerns for store associates, and increasing operational complexity. Immediate, actionable intelligence at the point of need is no longer optional—it is essential. The White Labeled Alerts App from SAI Group extends the power of its Visual AI Platform directly into the hands of frontline retail teams through a branded, mobile-first experience.

Built on SAI’s industry-hardened, computer vision technology, the Alerts App transforms real-time insights from in-store cameras into instant notifications that enable faster response, safer interventions, and improved store performance. The app is available on iOS and Android smartphones, as well as enterprise-grade Zebra handheld terminals including TC52 and TC57, ensuring seamless adoption across diverse retail estates.

Through white labeling, retailers can deploy the app under their own brand identity while retaining the full power of SAI’s AI-driven alerting. In addition, geo-location checks ensure alerts are received and acted upon only when staff are physically present in or near the relevant store, reinforcing accountability and operational discipline.

Why the White Labeled Alerts App is important for retail stores

Modern retail stores face three interconnected challenges: loss prevention, associate safety, and operational efficiency. Traditional dashboards and back-office tools delay action, while generic alerting systems lack context and trust.

The SAI Alerts App addresses this gap by delivering sub-second alerts triggered directly by visual AI models analyzing existing CCTV feeds. These alerts surface actionable insights—such as theft risks, unattended self-checkouts, queues, clutter, spills, or safety incidents—directly to store teams who can respond immediately.

White labeling is critical because it embeds the technology seamlessly into a retailer’s operational ecosystem. Store associates interact with a familiar, branded application rather than a third-party tool, increasing adoption, confidence, and consistent usage. This is particularly important in high-pressure environments where trust in alerts directly impacts response time.

By supporting rugged Zebra mobile computers alongside consumer smartphones, the Alerts App fits naturally into existing retail workflows without requiring new hardware investments.

How the White Labeled Alerts App feature works

At the core of the app is SAI Group’s Visual AI Platform, which overlays advanced computer vision on top of existing in-store camera infrastructure. The platform continuously analyzes live video streams to detect predefined risk, safety, and operational scenarios in real time.

When an event is detected—such as suspicious behavior at a self-checkout, aggressive incidents, or operational bottlenecks—the system generates an alert that is instantly pushed to the White Labeled Alerts App. The app converts complex AI outputs into clear, easy-to-understand notifications that frontline staff can act on without technical expertise.

Key functional aspects include:

  • Real-time mobile alerts delivered to iOS, Android, and Zebra TC52/TC57 devices.
  • Contextual alert views, enabling staff to quickly understand what happened and where action is required.
  • Geo-location checks (configurable per deployment), ensuring alerts are only actionable when users are physically present within defined store boundaries.
  • White-labeled branding, allowing retailers to customize the app’s name, icon, and visual identity to match internal systems and processes.

    • Together, these capabilities ensure alerts are timely, relevant, and trusted—reducing false interventions and improving response quality.

    Benefits of using the White Labeled Alerts App feature

    The White Labeled Alerts App delivers measurable value across multiple dimensions of retail operations:

    Faster response and reduced losses

    Sub-second alerts allow staff to intervene early, preventing escalation of theft and minimizing losses at self-service and assisted checkouts.

    Improved associate safety

    By detecting aggression or high-risk situations automatically, the app enables timely, informed responses that reduce the need for confrontational interventions.

    Higher staff confidence and adoption

    White labeling builds trust by presenting alerts through a familiar, retailer-branded interface, increasing confidence in AI-driven insights and consistent usage across shifts.

    Operational efficiency at scale

    The app works with existing CCTV infrastructure and standard mobile devices, supporting rapid rollout across large store estates without complex hardware upgrades.

    Accountability through location awareness

    Geo-location checks help ensure alerts are handled by the right people at the right place, reinforcing compliance with store operating procedures.
