Welcome to FaceFirst Insider – Retail Edition

I’d like to personally welcome you to the first edition of FaceFirst Insider, a newsletter dedicated to ensuring that the most valued members of our community are aware of how face recognition is transforming the world, saving lives and preventing crime.

While much of our thought leadership is available in LinkedIn, Twitter, on our blog and elsewhere, FaceFirst Insider is specifically tailored to those already in the FaceFirst family. As such, you’ll be the first to know about biometric industry trends, fantastic events, product releases, partnerships, news and much more.

Over the past year, FaceFirst has partnered with retailers, public safety agencies and other industry partners to provide a shopping environment that is substantially safer and more personalized than ever before. To show you how, we’ll include customer success stories, and give you behind-the-scenes insight into new innovations such as Fraud-IQ, a revolutionary new product that leverages face recognition to curb return fraud.

Finally, as part of our core mission to ensure customer success, we will provide customers with helpful product tips from our professional services team. As an industry insider, I sincerely hope you’ll find FaceFirst Insider to be informative, helpful and thought-provoking.

Welcome!
