Run Retail Without Eight Vendor Logos on Your Wall.
Modern retail runs on Lightspeed (POS) + a separate inventory system + Square (gift cards) + Mailchimp (marketing) + Yotpo (loyalty) + Genetec (loss prevention) + a digital-signage vendor + a smart-building IoT platform. Aeion ships POS + inventory + multi-location + loyalty + digital signage + loss prevention via Sentinel + smart-building IoT + Bridge hardware integration on one tenant database. Same SKU across DTC + retail + wholesale. Same customer across channels. One bill.

The Omnichannel Customer Record
Most retail tech fragments the customer across in-store + online + email. Aeion's same-database architecture unifies them.
The Loss-Prevention Story
Retail shrinkage averages 1.4% of revenue — about $112B/year industry-wide. Most retailers throw camera systems at it. Aeion + Sentinel adds the data layer.
Retail Wins
Same SKU across DTC, retail, and wholesale
One product record everywhere means no sync job reconciling four different inventory databases.
Same customer record online and in-store
The sales associate sees what the customer browsed online, so the conversation picks up where the website left off.
Inventory forecasting with real demand visibility
Reorder points are based on actual cross-channel demand, not a per-location guess — fewer stockouts.
Loss prevention via POS + camera + inventory cross-correlation
AI connects a void-rate spike to the shift schedule and the camera feed, catching more shrinkage than a camera system alone.
Digital signage tied to live inventory and sales velocity
Displays auto-rotate to feature what's actually in stock and selling, no manual playlist updates.
Multi-location reporting from one database
Corporate sees every store in real time instead of waiting on an end-of-day rollup.
Mobile POS via iPad + Bridge
Staff check out customers anywhere on the floor instead of funneling everyone to a fixed register.
One audit log across all retail tech
Compliance officers pull one export instead of stitching together evidence from five vendors — SOC 2 Type II ready, with the audit currently in flight.
