Argus · Operating system for retail

AI agents that run your store.

Argus deploys five agents on the cameras and registers already in your store. Loss prevention, inventory, customer calls, cash flow, forecasting. One platform that connects every signal in the store, in real time.

How it works

Five agents. Each runs one part of your store.

Each agent owns one job and shares the same data layer. What one sees, all five see. Together they close the loop your stack has been leaving open.

01
Loss prevention
Floor
Watches every camera you already have. Catches shrink the moment it happens.
02
Inventory
Shelf
Counts every SKU on every shelf, continuously. Files reorders before you stock out.
03
Customer calls
Voice
Answers every inbound call. Cross-checks Shelf and the schedule for live, accurate answers.
04
Cash flow and payments
Register
Reconciles the drawer to the camera and the POS. Routes payments. Flags anomalies before deposit.
05
Forecasting and capital
Treasury
Forecasts demand, traffic, and cash position. Drafts the schedule. Layers working capital.
The product

Where the agents report in.

One login. Four screens. Floor flagging concealments live, Shelf reordering before stockout, Voice answering calls in seconds, all on the dashboard your manager opens at 6am. Scroll to walk through it.

The closed loop

The store finally has one source of truth.

Deployment

Works with what you already have.

No new cameras. No replaced POS. No retrained staff. Argus plugs into the systems already running your store and goes live overnight.

01
Plug in.
Most WiFi and IP cameras. Common POS systems. Installed in under 30 minutes per store. No proprietary hardware.
02
Argus learns.
First 72 hours: the platform maps your store, your shifts, your inventory rhythm. By day four, every module is on.
03
You wake up.
Daily report in your inbox. Anomalies flagged. Reorders drafted. Investigations queued. The store ran while you slept.

The OS that never sleeps.

Argus is in private beta with select gas station and grocery operators. We are taking on a small number of new stores this quarter.
