What is Auror?
Founded in 2012, Auror provides an industry-leading retail crime intelligence platform designed to empower retailers to report, solve, and prevent crime. The platform addresses the long-standing industry challenge of siloed information, which historically hindered the ability of retailers to connect the dots on criminal activity. By centralizing incident data, Auror enables retailers to shift from reactive measures to proactive, intelligence-led strategies. The company's impact is measurable, with retail partners reporting an average loss reduction of 20% or more. With a global footprint spanning Auckland, Melbourne, and Denver, Auror is uniquely positioned to address the complexities of retail loss prevention on an international scale.
