Alert platform to help bring the intelligence picture to life within ORIS-CON’s live retail crime investigation.
ShopSafe has joined ORIS-CON ’27 as an Investigation Partner, with its Alert platform set to play a role within the live organised retail crime simulation taking place at The VOX, Birmingham on 16 March 2027.
At the heart of ORIS-CON is a live investigation that will evolve throughout the day, challenging delegates to work together to answer four fundamental questions:
What happened?
Who did it?
Why are they doing it?
How do we stop it happening again?
As the investigation develops, delegates will need to consider information from different sources, identify what matters, challenge assumptions and begin joining individual pieces of intelligence together.
That is where ShopSafe Alert comes in. Used by BCRPs, BIDs and retailers to support incident reporting and intelligence sharing, Alert provides a way for information about incidents and offenders to be captured, developed and shared across a network.
At ORIS-CON, delegates won’t simply hear about that process. They’ll see the intelligence picture develop around them.
Sarah Bird, Partnerships & Events Manager at ORIS Media, said:
“ShopSafe was one of those partners where I could see very early on how their technology could become part of the investigation rather than simply something we talked about.
An incident on its own only tells you so much. But once that information is shared, somebody else may recognise an offender, another retailer may have experienced something similar and a BCRP or policing partner may hold another piece of relevant intelligence.
That’s when you start joining the dots – and that’s exactly what we want our delegates to experience.”
Martin Gregg, Head of Customer Success at ShopSafe said:
“Every day we see how much more valuable information becomes once it’s shared. A single incident report from one retailer can be the missing piece in someone else’s investigation. What excites us about ORIS-CON is that delegates won’t just be told that; they’ll see it happen in real time, as Alert helps turn individual reports into intelligence that partners can act on. We’re delighted to be part of it, and we can’t wait to see how delegates respond when the pressure is on.”
ShopSafe joins a select group of ORIS-CON Investigation Partners, whose technology and expertise will be integrated into the live simulation rather than simply presented from the stage.
And while we’re happy to tell you who is involved…
Exactly how they fit into the investigation will remain classified until 16 March.
ORIS-CON ’27 takes place at The VOX, Birmingham on 16 March 2027, bringing together professionals from retail crime, loss prevention, security and risk alongside policing, BCRPs and the wider business-crime community.
