Retail technology solutions for single stores and chains
Store networks, cameras with analytics, access control and cabling for retailers, built from a pilot store and repeated the same way at every location.
The short answer
When the network drops, the registers stop; when a camera is offline, a loss prevention case falls apart. WCC installs store networks with payment systems segmented, cameras that double as store analytics, and access control, built to one standard so every store opens the same way.

FAQ
Retail technology questions
Can you roll out the same setup across many stores?
Yes. We build and validate one pilot store, lock the design for network, cameras and access, then deploy it the same way at every location.
How do you handle PCI for store networks?
We put payment systems on their own network segments, separated from guest Wi-Fi and corporate traffic, and document the design for your assessor. PCI compliance itself is the retailer's responsibility; we make sure segmentation isn't the gap.
Can store cameras provide analytics?
Yes. Platforms such as Verkada provide people counting, heatmaps, dwell time and occupancy alongside security video. Accurate analytics depend on camera placement, which we plan for. See Verkada retail analytics.
Which camera platforms work for retail?
Avigilon, Verkada, Rhombus and Axis are common choices. All are NDAA compliant and support fast clip export for loss prevention.
Do you install store alarms?
Cameras and access control are designed to integrate with your licensed alarm company's intrusion system.
