Auror targets retail crime – a problem costing businesses more than $150 billion a year globally.
The online platform is built around a digital reporting process that makes it easier for retailers and police to collaborate, reducing in-store losses.
Auror also won the best medium business category earlier in the night, with judges saying it is on the cusp of something huge.

David Downs, the convener of judges for the awards, said when NZ businesses succeed internationally, “that’s a win for all of us”.
He said the achievements of exporters brought benefits back to NZ.
“There’s so much effort that goes into growing an export business from Aotearoa New Zealand, around the world.
“If you look at what our winners do and what they’ve achieved, they’re all great examples of the potential that exists across our business and export community."
