Protect property and keep people safe

Axis audio can help you ensure the security of your customers and physical retail environment. Pre-recorded messages, live messages or a combination of both give you more control of incident management than cameras alone can. Discourage vandalism and intrusion by letting offenders know they’ve been spotted. Deter unwanted behaviors with a well-timed audio intervention. Or communicate occupancy restrictions and safety reminders for everyone’s security. With Axis audio, you can act on what you see quickly and efficiently.

Minimize shrinkage and increase profits

Axis audio helps you tackle shoplifting, robbery and fraud, and intervene with the appropriate audio response in real time. Address loiterers directly to discourage the behavior. Alert staff to security risks or suspicious behaviors. Stop break-ins by communicating directly with offenders at the start of the event. Address thefts during the act, including wrong way exits. And let visitors or suspicious persons know you’re aware of their presence in any specific area. Audio announcements at the right time and in the right place can help keep more of your hard-earned profit in the pocket it belongs to—yours.

Increase staff productivity and improve customer experience

Axis network audio is ideal for communicating with staff and customers, influencing purchasing behavior and increasing staff productivity. Add ambiance with background music, adjusting volume and content as appropriate from one zone of the store to the next. Broadcast marketing messages and offers or opening hour and other general operating announcements. Inform customers that staff is on the way, or that a new till has opened when queues get too long. Network audio is a simple yet powerful addition that can add measurable value in immediate sales, satisfied consumers and return visits.
