Hardee’s franchisee taps Envysion as video provider

March 6, 2011

OTAC Inc., which operates 21 Hardee’s restaurants throughout Maryland and Delaware, has selected Envysion Inc. as its exclusive video provider.

The franchisee will deploy Envysion’s Insight solution to all of its existing locations. The solution includes a point of sale integrated managed video to support loss prevention, improve operations and drive bottom line profits.

Leveraging Envysion's comprehensive Managed Video as a Service (MVaaS) platform, OTAC operators are able to track a variety of operational data points that have an impact on profit. For example, Envysion's motion mask feature allows OTAC to identify several employees violating cash handling and safety and security procedures.

Also, Envysion's reporting capabilities will help OTAC operators pinpoint potentially fraudulent transactions such as voids, returns, discounts and coupons. Initial use has identified several incidents of suspicious activity. Within a month of use, OTAC operators identified a pattern of employee discounts given at the drive-thru, which is a policy violation.

"We evaluated several video providers and even considered purchasing a system outright. None of them provided the ROI or financial impact to our bottom line like Envysion's solution does," said Fred Mattes, director of physical facilities for OTAC. "With Envysion Insight we have already identified and curtailed several incidents of fraudulent transactions and procedure violations that were costing us money."
