Computer vision is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that trains computers to interpret and understand digital images from cameras and videos. Computers can ‘learn’ to accurately identify and classify objects, and then react to and report on what they ‘see’. It’s a rapidly growing platform for real-time store management and enhanced operations. By 2021, 40% of retailers will implement computer vision in their customer service and support workflow, and vendors employing computer vision in retail will see a 20% lift in conversion.1
“SoftServe’s in-store social distancing solution is bridging a critical gap for retailers, ensuring a safe shopping environment through the COVID-19 pandemic while providing a valuable long-term solution for continual security, future growth, and consumer engagement,” said Valentyn Kropov, VP, client success at SoftServe. “Our solution works with your existing in-store equipment and can be ‘retrained’ around future scenarios, giving you a foundation on which to optimize store operations and customer experience for years to come.”
Ensure Customer and Employee Safety and Social Distancing Regulatory Compliance
- Mask and Temperature Detection—detect if patrons are wearing masks and scan customers’ temperatures with an infrared thermometer upon entry.
- Manage Store Capacity—count the number of patrons entering and exiting the store and provide entry permission alerts and QR code vouchers through a mobile app.
- Avoid Physical Lines—track designated distance between queued customers, provide department wait times and information through digital signage, and allow patrons to reserve spots in line.
Identify and Understand Customers’ Buying Dynamics
- Real-Time Data Processing—get actionable insights in the moment with a self-learning system that fully automates data collection.
- In-Store Customer Tracking—understand your customers’ in-store movements and product engagement better with demographics and heatmap analysis.
- Create More Immersive Shopping Experiences—learn customer interaction points and deploy AI-driven dynamic in-store advertisements. Use location analytics to optimize store layout and product positioning around customer preferences.
SoftServe’s In-Store Social Distancing Solution integrates with a store’s existing CCTV infrastructure and software platforms and can be rapidly deployed to be up and running in a couple of weeks. It’s designed to be scalable for hundreds of stores, yet is customizable around the specific business needs of each individual store.

EZO Reaches Financial Close on €150 Million Senior Debt Facility14.10.2026 14:21:00 EEST | Press release
EZO has reached financial close on a €150 million investment-grade, non-recourse, senior debt facility. The funding will finance the design, installation, operation and maintenance of over 3,000 charge points, representing over 100,000 kWs of capacity, across the UK and Ireland under mostly long-term public sector “PPP-like” concessions with an attractive risk allocation between the public and private sector that will significantly advance EV infrastructure delivery, on time and to budget. These charge points are estimated to generate well in excess of £1 billion in electricity sales over the next 20 years, a portion of which will be shared with the public sector while, at the end of the concession, the chargers will revert back to the public sector. Headquartered in Ireland, EZO has expanded rapidly into the mainland UK, which by 2027 will become its primary EV charging market. The company is building the capital base, technology and operational capability required to deliver reliable

High-Capacity DDoS Attacks Surge 1,286% in 1H 2026 According to NETSCOUT Threat Intelligence Research14.10.2026 13:05:00 EEST | Press release
NETSCOUT® SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT) released its first half 2026 Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Threat Intelligence Report, revealing a significant shift in how attacks are launched and sourced. With more than 9.1 million DDoS attacks recorded globally by NETSCOUT between January and June 2026, the report highlights that DDoS risk is growing along three axes: the volume of traffic that must be inspected, the number of places where mitigation must be deployed, and the share of attacks that disrupt service without ever saturating a link. “The 1,286% rise in attacks clearing 1Tbps or 1Gpps means high-capacity events are no longer anomalies; they are routine,” stated Hardik Modi, VP Engineering, DDoS Solutions, and ASERT Threat Intelligence Team, NETSCOUT. “With the proliferation of residential proxies and short, rate-based attacks from DDoS-for-hire platforms, traditional coarse network controls are insufficient. Providers and enterprises alike need finer-grained, selective mitig
