The Story
Auror's founders read a newspaper article highlighting that retailers in New Zealand were losing $2 million a day to shop theft. They built Auror to bring people and data together, making it easier to identify and prevent the people causing the most harm – creating software that helps retailers and police work together to prevent crime, protect people, and make communities safer through collaboration.
The Numbers
Trusted across 50,000 stores and 3,500 law enforcement agencies
Team of 250+ people across Aotearoa, Australia, North America, and the UK - all driven by one mission: to make communities safer
Helped prevent 1.6 million retail crimes in 2024 and surfaced the top 10% of offenders causing over 60% of loss and harm in their stores
Plot Twist
People sometimes think they're a security company, but Auror doesn't make cameras or alarms. They're a software company that helps retailers report crime, collaborate better with law enforcement on retail crime, and create safer stores for all. It's not just about protecting products – it's about protecting the frontline people who work in retail every day.
The Good Stuff
Half-day Fridays. Every week, the team wraps up early so people can do what they love, recharge, and come back ready to make a difference. With teams collaborating across the world from their Auckland home base, they're all united by the mission to protect frontline retail workers and make communities safer.
From a newspaper article about $2 million daily losses to preventing 1.6 million crimes in 2024 – these Auckland legends prove that the best crime prevention happens when you bring the right people and data together.
