Bringing Organized Retail Crime Into Focus With Computer Vision AI
With reduced staffing and eroding human customer-facing engagements, AI is critical in identifying, reporting and mitigating the gaps.
After nearly a dozen years as a field artillery officer in the U.S. Army, Brand Elverston began his retail career with Walmart’s then Loss Prevention division in 1995, retiring in 2017 to impact the overall industry more effectively, and more broadly.
Now with over 25 years of experience in the retail asset protection/risk mitigation business channel, Brand’s undeniable passions are in the emerging technology scope, not legacy solutions, designed to align innovative risk mitigation measures more effectively with emerging retail business pursuits.
As he began looking for ways to give back, Brand partnered with Conversations on Retail to create the Retail Asset Protection & Rick Mitigation group, and to launch RetailAssetProtection.com, serving as a gathering place and resource center that supports the industry in tackling some of its most persistent problems.
Brand specializes in working with innovative technology providers and processes designed to remove friction in the customer experience, while limiting risk to lost profit.
We really appreciate Brand’s partnership, leadership, and advocacy for the industry. If there is anything that he can do to support you and your team, please do not hesitate to contact him directly, by emailing brand@elverstonconsulting.com.
Brand welcomes his colleagues from industry and academia to join him in contributing insights and commentary aimed at helping the community progress.
