Wachter Inc. has announced the contribution of a Proto LUMA hologram unit to the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC), marking a new phase in retail education and innovation.
This cutting-edge technology is designed to be an engaging platform for educating the retail sector on loss prevention, its history, and emerging trends, while also offering dynamic marketing and engagement prospects.
Proto LUMA Unit Features
