Solink - Your Cannabis Security & Surveillance Partner

Solink can help you protect what matters most: people, product, place, profit, and purchases. There are many incidences in your daily operations that affect each of these areas but all can be supported with the Solink platform.

People
Your employees are the most important piece of your business. They ensure sales targets are met, compliance is maintained, and customer service is at its best. At Solink, we offer you the ability to quickly collect and share incident footage. These incidents could be from a robbery, an assault on staff, a compliance verification, etc.

Example: A customer becomes irate over the request to wear PPE while in the shop, and authorities need to be contacted. Video footage can be shared to help with the investigation.

Product

Cannabis inventory is regulated, which means that lost inventory is more than just shrink; it’s a problem. Solink offers custom exception-based reporting and analytics to quickly identify an area of product loss (the wrong item being bagged, sweethearting, etc.).

Example: You receive your daily digest and notice many missing units of one particular product. Using Solink, you can look for all transactions with that product and compare video to narrow down the root cause. You come to find that a staff member is giving away this product for free mistakenly.

Place
The location of your storefront is very important since advertising options for cannabis can be very limited. Ideally, you are located in high traffic, highly visible area. This can increase the likelihood of vandalism, break and enter, and loitering. Leveraging Solink’s advanced motion searching, motion zone alerts, and video alarm alerts to ensure you are proactively protecting your place.

Example: Solink Video Alarm could notify you or your designate of any activity at the back door during off hours. This could notify you of a potential break-in or staff issue and allow you to contact the police with video verification.

Profits
There are many ways that theft can happen, all of which impact your profits. Inventory loss, poor cash handling, and improper discounts are just a few. Solink offers you daily audits that draw your attention to the area or transaction that is the highest risk of loss and allows you the tools to explore and address. This helps you to eliminate internal theft and protects you from external theft and fraud.

Example: You notice that a particular employee has a higher than usual discount rate. With further exploration, you notice they are improperly discounting one of your best selling products. Thanks to Solink, you can address this area of concern and restore proper protocol.

Purchase
It’s important for staff to do their best to ensure each customer who enters the store leaves with a purchase. Leverage Solink’s unique ability to combine a traffic counting camera with the transaction data for a conversion rate. You can be notified using hourly or daily summaries when a conversion rate drops below a predetermined percentage.

Example: Should your conversion rate fall below 80%, you would receive a notification, and you can identify who is working and if they may need more training or what the issue may be. With the transaction and video data at your fingertips, you can improve your sales from anywhere.

"Even though we had already invested almost $10k in a high-end NVR, we immediately switched to Solink when we saw its capabilities. The integration with COVA that allows us to easily cross reference receipts with accompanying video footage of our point of sale is priceless. After 2 weeks of business, we have already used the 'motion search' feature numerous times to investigate packing errors and staffing issues. The fact that we can easily login from any browser or on our smartphone with the Solink app makes Solink the killer app that is now an essential cornerstone of our business. With no upfront costs and only a monthly fee - it honestly feels like we won the lottery! Highly recommend Solink to anyone operating a Cannabis retail store."

- Owen Allerton, Highland Cannabis

"We did not expect to see ROI from the Solink platform before our stores were open for business. We were wrong. Although there were significant savings attached to avoiding the purchase of physical, on-site storage devices, we saw real value in closely monitoring our construction projects. We were able to leverage Solink’s best-in-class support team to help setup pro-active alerts and validate our contractor’s billable hours. If we had used a more traditional remote monitoring platform, we would have never even had the time nor patience to sift through hours of footage.

Solink is simply a must-have for cannabis retailers. Not only will we leverage this platform towards effectively managing safety, compliance, and loss prevention, but most importantly, we hope to understand gaps in our customer experience and find ways to improve our service. It is a competitive market out there, and we will take all the help we can get."
