StrongPoint Formalises Partnership with SAI Group to Provide Retailers with AI-Powered Anti-Theft Solutions

Retail theft is a growing problem, as trends indicate a sharp increase in shoplifting, organized retail crime, and self-checkout fraud. As a result, grocery retailers are adopting new strategies to prevent theft while preserving the customer experience. By leveraging real-time data, machine learning, and intelligent automation, SAI’s technology helps retailers detect risks before they escalate, safeguarding revenue and store efficiency.

The scope of the agreement includes an exclusive reseller arrangement across the Nordic markets, with plans to expand to StrongPoint’s core markets in the second half of 2025. StrongPoint has already launched two pilot programs in the Nordic markets using the SAI platform, which are demonstrating the effectiveness of AI-driven solutions in reducing losses and enhancing security in grocery stores.

“Retailers worldwide are facing increasing challenges with in-store theft, and grocery stores are no exception. With this international partnership, we are bringing world-class AI-powered anti-theft solutions to our markets, helping retailers reduce losses while maintaining a seamless shopping experience for their customers. Combined with our existing portfolio of smart theft prevention solutions, including Vensafe and self-checkout security features, this partnership expands and strengthens our anti-theft offering,” said Jacob Tveraabak, Group CEO of StrongPoint.

“With two active pilot projects in the Nordics, we are already seeing the real-world impact of AI-driven solutions in reducing theft while maintaining a seamless shopping experience. This partnership with SAI Group allows us to bring these advanced technologies to more retailers and complements our existing theft prevention solutions,” said Magnus Rosen, SVP of Nordics at StrongPoint.

“We are excited to partner exclusively with StrongPoint to bring our AI-driven anti-theft solutions to their core markets. StrongPoint’s deep relationships with grocery retailers and expertise in retail technology make them the perfect partner for deploying our solutions at scale. Following the success of the initial pilots, we look forward to expanding our collaboration to help retailers reduce theft and enhance overall store efficiency,” said Helen Wilde, Chief Commercial Officer at SAI Group.
