You Can See What’s Going Wrong. Now You Can Act on It
Manako for Retail Operators
You already have cameras showing you everything. What you don’t have is immediate response. Spills sit too long. Queues build while staff are tied up. Theft is discovered after it happens. Incidents escalate because no one acted in time. To monitor just 10 cameras 24/7, you need 5 full-time staff. That’s over $200,000 per year for minimum coverage. The problem isn’t visibility. The problem is delay.
This Is the Pressure You’re Managing Every Day
Stores are busy. Teams are stretched. Your cameras capture everything, but no one can monitor every feed at once. When something happens, response depends on whether someone is watching. Incidents are missed. Loss is discovered after the fact. General retail loses an estimated $1.2M per region per year due to shrinkage and manual review. The issue is not visibility. It is delay.
Turn What You See Into Operational Control
Manako turns your existing cameras into an automated response system. Using a no-code setup, you define what matters and what should happen next. When something occurs, Manako detects it, understands the context, and triggers action immediately. Instead of reviewing footage after the fact, you respond in real time.
- No new hardware.
- No additional monitoring.
- No disruption to store operations.

The Manako
Approach

Cameras shouldn’t just record. They should respond.
Manako transforms existing camera infrastructure into a live operational system. Instead of reviewing footage after an incident, Manako:
- 1.Detects an event the moment it occurs.
- 2.Understands what it means using computer vision.
- 3.Triggers a predefined action instantly.

Why Not Just Use The Existing Tools?
Making cameras see, decide, and act in the physical world is expensive and difficult without engineering teams and ongoing maintenance. Here is how common approaches compare.
