Veesion

Veesion is a French AI company that provides real-time shoplifting detection for retailers using computer vision and gesture-recognition technology. The platform analyzes video feeds from a retailer's existing CCTV cameras — no new hardware required — and uses AI trained on over 100,000 shoplifting behaviors to identify high-risk concealment gestures before a theft is completed. When suspicious patterns are detected, store staff receive a short mobile video alert so they can intervene early. The system uses no facial recognition and operates across specialty retail, grocery, pharmacies, and convenience stores. Veesion is deployed in 6,000+ stores across 55+ countries, and customers report detection rates jumping from 5% to over 60% after deployment. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Paris, the company raised $55.2M in total funding.
