“These are hyper-urban grocery stores, and—given today’s busy
lifestyle—people appreciate having this kind of safe and secure
convenience in their neighborhood or right in the building where
they live,” John Douang, co-founder and CEO of Aisle 24. “By
emphasizing safety and security while accumulating business
intelligence, we’re offering franchise owners the ability to
monetize empty space and build a profitable business that places
far fewer demands on their time than running a traditional grocery
store.”
To keep the customer experience as natural and secure as
possible, Aisle 24 turned to its partner Smart Installs Inc., a
Toronto-based customer security solutions provider and Axis
Communications integrator partner, for their assistance. As a
result, Axis provided video surveillance and audio technology, as
well as 2N audio/video intercoms – all streaming to an AI-enabled
video management system. Together, they created an integrated
surveillance solution, customizable access control through a mobile
app, and analytics designed to reduce shrink, streamline inventory
management, analyze point-of-sale data, and optimize each store’s
product mix for maximum sell-through.
“As we enter a new era of streamlined retail experiences,
investing in state-of-the-art, integrated solutions is key to
providing dynamic levels of safety and security, while bolstering
overall business intelligence,” said Keith D’sa, Country Manager,
Axis Communications. “With the confluence of applications and uses
that today’s security technology provides, our goal is to keep
customers and assets secure, while also allowing Aisle 24 to
leverage data to inform day-to-day and long-term business
strategies.”
Entering an Aisle 24 store is completely touchless. Customers
can open the app on their smartphone as they approach the
Bluetooth-enabled 2N intercom at the store door, which then
displays an UNLOCK message and releases the door. Once inside, they
can load their cart and then self-checkout at the register
kiosk.
“We recommended Axis and 2N technology because they’re built on
an open platform, which allows for deep third-party integration,”
said Ken Oki, Managing Director for Smart Installs. “That was
important for Aisle 24 since it gives them a wider range of options
for current and future customization.”
Currently, Aisle 24 has 16 locations in Ontario and Quebec, with
plans to launch at least 40 more stores in Vancouver, Edmonton,
Calgary, and Halifax by the end of the year. In the future, Aisle
24 plans to continue expanding its 24/7, cashierless grocery stores
across Canada, as well as the United States, South America, and
parts of Europe and Asia.
