Retail intelligence starts with people

We bridge the data gap between online and in-store retail — giving brick-and-mortar stores the same shopper analytics intelligence that eCommerce has always had.

Our Story

From a data gap to a global platform

VisionR was born from a simple observation: brick-and-mortar retailers were flying blind. eCommerce merchants knew everything about their customers — where they clicked, what they browsed, and why they left. Physical stores, meanwhile, knew almost nothing.

Founded in 2017, we set out to close that gap by building The Scout© — an AI-powered camera that turns everyday shopper behaviour into the kind of real-time intelligence that actually moves revenue.

The Scout© captures what happens inside your store — who visits, how they move, what they engage with, and whether they buy — and surfaces it as clear, actionable data your team can use immediately.

Today, global brands across grocery, fashion, furniture, pet, electronics, and QSR use VisionR across multiple markets — giving their store teams the same data advantage that eCommerce has always had.

Founded in Dublin

Shane O'Sullivan and Oran Mulvey identify the in-store data gap and begin prototyping The Scout© — an AI camera built to give physical retail what eCommerce already had.

Mission

Personalise offline shopping globally by making retail reactive

We believe every shopper deserves a relevant, personalised experience — whether they're buying online or walking into a store. That gap has existed too long.

Vision

Stores, prices, and products adapting in real time to your customers.

Our vision is a world where physical retail is as intelligent and responsive as the best eCommerce experience — completely relevant to each customer, everywhere.

Innovative

We're always looking for better ways to improve our products and processes. No idea is too small. We want everyone on the team to feel ownership over what we build.

Passionate

We're passionate about what we do and we believe in working together to achieve our goals. The energy we bring to our work is what sets the pace for the entire industry.
