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.
Argus joins every camera, register, drawer, and shift in real time. The connective layer computes numbers no single system in your stack can produce. You have been guessing at these for years.
Headline KPI
96.4%
Revenue Integrity Score
The percentage of merchandise that left your store today and was actually paid for. The gap is shrink, in real time, not last month's stocktake.
POS rang $4,820
CAM saw $5,001 leave
Gap: $181
CASH × POS × CAM × LABOR
$284
Cash Anomaly Index
Suspicious cash movements ranked. Drawer variance plus the 14 seconds of footage of the void, attributed to the cashier.
CAM × POS × VENDOR
+3.2/hr
Shelf-to-Shelf Velocity
How fast inventory is moving off the floor vs. how fast the POS thinks. The gap is shrink absorbed into movement.
POS × LABOR × CAM × TRAFFIC

Conversion-Adjusted Labor Efficiency
Revenue per labor dollar, weighted by actual traffic and time-on-floor vs. clocked-in. Reveals ghost shifts payroll cannot see.

Why operators choose Argus.
"Argus caught $1,400 in shrink in our first week. We thought we had it under control. We didn't."
"Stopped reviewing tape after closing. The morning report tells me exactly what happened on every shift."
"Voice answers calls I used to ignore. Customers were calling about lottery and gas prices, and we were missing all of it."
"The Revenue Integrity Score is the number I check every morning before I open. No POS vendor can give you this."
"Cash Anomaly Index caught a sweethearting pattern at one of my registers. Paid for the whole year in two days."

"Forecast Drift flagged a Buc-ee's opening down the road before our weekend traffic dropped. Gave us six weeks to react."
"Replaced three vendors with Argus. One login, one bill, one team of agents that actually talk to each other."
"Setup took 18 minutes per store. The cameras already worked. The Verifone POS already worked. Argus just plugged in."
"My district manager checks Operating Health across 22 stores in five seconds before her morning coffee. Worth the price alone."
"Honestly thought it was overkill until I saw the cashier, POS, and camera join. Now I can't run a store without it."
