3VR strengthens sales team with retail industry veteran

3VR, the video technology and data company, announced that it has hired retail industry veteran Michael Slevin as a sales director. In this role, he will create opportunities for 3VR's retail analytics products – VisionPoint Dashboard and Video Management System (VMS) – by generating and maintaining relationships with retail customers and channel partners. Slevin joins 3VR from Tyco, where he spent more than 15 years in a variety of sales roles, cultivating awareness and demand for the company’s retail solutions.

In addition, 3VR has made enhancements to its customer insights product by adding the ability to correlate visitor counts within various zones. This allows retailers to count people in different areas of a store at any given time, such as an in-store pharmacy, in-store classes, or back office conference rooms. The information can be compared to total traffic across various time frames for single stores or multiple stores, helping to establish trends across locations or times of day. 3VR has also released a new feature that can establish real-time occupancy metrics, helping retailers know whether the store – or an area of the store – is approaching an unsafe and overcrowded situation.

"Retail is an important market for us, and we are happy to be strengthening both our team and product offering," said Jeff Karnes, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Operations for 3VR. "We welcome Michael to the company and look forward to his contributions as we continue to innovate and grow our customer base."
