File 01 · Independent grocery

The bullseye vertical.

Family-run stores in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, and across the Okanagan. 6–24 cameras typical. AIsle installs in an afternoon, no IT department required. The categories that hurt — perishables, baby formula, OTC — are all behavior-detectable.

File 02 · Convenience

Where violence per incident is highest.

The Vancouver Retail Security Task Force, launched in 2025, is largely a response to convenience-store sweeps and bear-spray incidents. AIsle fires before the sweep — giving your clerk 30 seconds to walk over and break the rhythm.

File 03 · BC liquor + cannabis

Regulated retail. Sensitive data.

BC Liquor Stores cite spirits as a top organized-retail-crime target. Cannabis retail is governed by LCRB and is strict about US data sovereignty. AIsle Edge keeps every frame in-store — and meets both procurement preferences.

File 04 · Pharmacy

The highest per-incident loss in retail.

Tide pods, baby formula, OTC meds — the most-stolen ticket items in Canadian retail. Pharmacy chains and independents alike report ~2% shrink, with average per-incident value near $80. AIsle is sensitive to the high-shelf staging behavior these categories share.

File 05 · Hardware + home improvement

Wide aisles. High-value SKUs. Blind spots.

Power tools, copper wire, batteries, fasteners. The economics for AIsle are obvious: a single recovered theft pays for a year of cameras. Floor coverage is harder than grocery, which is why the alert-to-staff workflow matters more here.
