Why operators choose i3 International over Solink

01

See every site, all at once

i3 gives multi-site operators concurrent access to camera feeds across every location simultaneously. Whether you operate 5 sites or 500, you can monitor and review footage without queuing or single-site limits. No 4-camera caps. No refreshing. Your whole operation, visible at once.

02

Operational, even when your internet isn't

i3 processes video locally at each site using our on-premises platform. Cameras keep recording, AI analytics keep running, and footage stays accessible during internet outages. Cloud-only platforms lose full functionality the moment your connection drops.

03

Retail intelligence beyond POS search

i3’s AI goes well beyond what a POS sync can tell you. Velocity Drive-thru Timer measures speed of service in real time (US Patent 11,948,110). Smart-ER automatically surfaces transaction anomalies for loss prevention investigation.

04

Built to scale with you

i3 supports enterprise-scale retail with centralized management across hundreds of sites. POS integration is native. As your business grows through acquisition or expansion, i3 grows with it without hitting a wall.

No commitment. No contracts. Just a 15-minute call.
