Video TranscriptExpand ↓

Hello. My name is Robert Iraggi. I'm business development here at Parabit Systems. And today we're talking about the NRF Protect twenty twenty three conference coming up in Grapevine Texas, suburban Dallas, the week of June fifth. A lot of things to look forward to. I have a background in retailing. I ran a retailing magazine for music industry. For over twenty years. So I've always been excited about going to a store, checking out how things work, touching feelings, sounding, stuff you can't really do on the internet. With e commerce. So I think it's still a very very important thing in the market. Going to a show like this, we could share ideas with other retailers, see how security integrators are handling the challenges of keeping customers safe, making sure there's no product thefts and many, many, many other topics that surround retailing in today's environment, whether it be a big mega store or a mom and pop shop. Industry predictions for twenty twenty three, I think it's gonna be very, very tight as our security. It's been a lot of high profile talks about Flash mobs and stuff happening in big stores and big cities, especially on the luxury end. And of course, resale on the Internet is a very, very big business. So security is very, very important to, again, not only protect the shoppers that are going to these stores, but protect merchandise and of course, protect employees. That could be at risk in case anything happens of a dangerous nature, depending on who's going into and out of these stores. Parabot systems has many, many solutions for this market. Very excited about our discreet camera enclosures that can fit any camera anywhere in and out outside of a store, watching the aisles, watching loading docks, endpoint of purchase right there in the counter. We also do visitor management kiosks for employees when they go to a store to check-in. A lot of different solutions that we we feel that we can help for this market, so we'll confer to going to the show and hope to see you all out there.
