WARMINSTER, Pa., July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Signature Systems, Inc. (SSI), the multi-award-winning technology company known for all-concept point-of-sale solutions, announced a new partnership with eConnect, an AI-driven facial recognition and video surveillance company. This new integration enhances communication between the POS and the video surveillance system, allowing tagged video logs to be searched easily. Security staff can search for and view transactions involving specific items, payment methods, times and employees in seconds, making monitoring for suspected fraud or theft easier than ever.
The integration, created by the partnership, was launched for the first time at Jake’s 58 Casino in New York. The property is now even more secure ahead of their next major expansion that began in 2024 and will double the size of the property.
“At Jake’s 58, security is extremely important to us. When we found out we could be the first gaming property to receive this new integration, we were delighted to add another tool to our infrastructure that could help protect guests and staff,” said Evan Proios, Deputy Director Information Technology at Jake’s 58.
The strategic partnership between SSI and eConnect is expected to roll out to more gaming and leisure properties soon.
“At eConnect, innovation is rooted in how we enhance the customer experience and elevate security through data integration,” said George DiGrandi, COO at eConnect. “Our new partnership with SSI exemplifies this mission, seamlessly linking point-of-sale data with video management systems. This integration doesn’t just make security more robust—it drives measurable results.”
“With dozens of integrations focused on gaming and hospitality, SSI has become the fastest-growing POS in the industry,” said John White, EVP/CTO of Signature Systems, Inc. “Our partnership with eConnect and support of Jake’s 58 Casino Hotel’s security suite is further proof of the seriousness with which we undertake our relationships with customers. Just another reason that so many casinos have made the switch.”
