With support from the Department of Trade and Industry, Ocucon co-founder Gary Trotter will travel to the east coast of America for a series of new business meetings with a number of renowned retailers and leading security companies.

Ocucon interest in UK market

Since its launch at the UK's leading retail loss prevention and risk management conference, Retail Risk, just three months ago, Ocucon has seen significant interest from numerous UK supermarkets and leading retail chains, a number of which are beginning to pilot the technology.

Ocucon has also attracted interest from across the Atlantic, with a number of US retailers and security firms having already contacted the North-East based firm since it launched. Trotter will be using his trip to New York as an opportunity to build connections stateside and help prompt the next stage of business development for Ocucon.

He commented: “We’re delighted to be seeing the levels of interest in Ocucon and to already be in a position to target America with our ground-breaking new surveillance technology. It’s been a busy couple of months for us since our launch and we can’t wait to see what 2018 holds for the business.”

Breaking new ground in surveillance technology, Ocucon delivers a powerful, cloud-based storage and retrieval platform, combining intelligent data analytics with the facility to store, analyse and retrieve unlimited amounts of HD video surveillance footage from within the Ocucon portal. It is the first technology of its kind to offer unlimited cloud-based storage as a service.

Launched in October 2017, Ocucon is set to revolutionise the ability of UK businesses to defend against fraudulent cases of slips, trips and falls – currently estimated to cost the UK economy more than £800 million a year – by removing physical limitations on the amount of surveillance footage an organisation can save. Ocucon is expected to be of interest to any organisation capturing significant amounts of CCTV data, such as transport hubs or local authorities.
