Auror
Auror builds crime intelligence software that connects retailers and police, turning scattered incident reports into patterns that prevent retail crime.
Auror is a retail crime intelligence platform founded in Auckland in 2012 by Phil Thomson, Tom Batterbury and James Corbett. It connects retailers and law enforcement on a shared platform so that individual shoplifting incidents, which would otherwise sit in separate systems, can be linked into patterns and used to identify repeat offenders and organised retail crime.
The platform is now used by some of the largest retailers in New Zealand, Australia and the United States. Auror was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year (technology category) and has built a reputation in a problem space most tech companies avoid.
Why Noteworthy
Auror took one of the least glamorous problems in retail and built exportable technology around it. Its model depends on trust between competing retailers and between the private sector and police, which is harder to replicate than the software itself.
