Every summer, our R&D team from Vietnam makes the trip to i3's Toronto headquarters to work alongside us for the summer. It's one of the traditions that makes this company feel like one global family.

This summer's visit took an unexpected turn. While our CEO Jack Hoang took the team on a personal trip to Montreal during their final week, their vehicle was broken into. The team lost their passports and laptops, and Triet lost a substantial amount of money meant for his family back home.

Within one day, i3 employees across the company came together and raised enough to replace what was stolen and help everyone get home safely.

At the team's farewell party, Jack surprised Triet by handing him the collected funds on behalf of the entire i3 family. Then he surprised everyone again: Jack personally matched the full amount, doubling what the team had raised!

Of all the things we build here, this is what makes us proudest: people who show up for each other when it matters most.

💙 Thank you for spending your summer with us, Hien Bui, Lê Xuân Nhật Hưng, and Triet Nguyen. Come back soon.

We'll be counting the days until next year!

Small transactions can be easy to dismiss.

But when the same behaviour repeats over days, weeks, or months, the exposure can become much bigger than the individual amounts suggest.

Based on an investigation by i3 International’s Asset Protection team, this article in Loss Prevention Magazine dives into how low-dollar fraudulent activity can build quietly over time and why looking at patterns across transactions is critical to identifying the real risk.

The takeaway is simple: fraud does not have to be large to be costly.

Sometimes the biggest losses are hiding in the smallest transactions.

👉 Read the full article: How Small, Fraudulent Transactions Can Create Significant Exposure Over Time (https://hubs.la/Q04w8tG70)

When fraud is discussed within the loss prevention industry, attention often focuses on significant theft events, large refund schemes, or high-dollar losses that immediately attract scrutiny.

🎥 What does nearly 20 years of partnership look like?

At ISC West, we sat down with LVC's Bert Bongard and Mike Botten to talk about an industry that has changed tremendously, the challenges customers are bringing to the table today, and a partnership that goes all the way back to 2006/2007.

One thing out of many from this conversation really stuck with us. When asked what's different about working with i3 today compared to when the relationship began, the answer was simple: aside from the technology, not much.

Nearly two decades later, we're still working alongside many of the same people, solving challenges together, pushing each other toward new ideas, and finding ways to help our mutual customers succeed. Over time, that relationship has expanded beyond technology into sales, collaborative marketing, co-branding, events, and ultimately helping one another grow our businesses.

The conversation also brought us back to one of our earliest projects together, when a customer needed a capability that simply didn't exist yet. Instead of walking away from the challenge, our teams got to work. Six months later, that customer had the solution they needed.

This is what partnership means to us. It's listening when customers bring you a challenge. It's being willing to build what comes next. And it's having people beside you who are just as invested in getting it right.

A huge thank you to , and the entire Companies team for nearly 20 years of trust, collaboration, and plenty of great stories along the way.

We're proud of what we've built together, and even more excited about what's ahead.

🛍️ Overnight dumping and loitering had been an ongoing problem at Mission Thrift’s London South location, and the team knew they needed an affordable, scalable, and long-lasting solution. They worked through possible scenarios, including having a fencing unit placed around the dumpsters that would have cost roughly $10,000, before landing on a different question: could the right technology solve this issue?
 
That question led Mission Thrift to i3 International. 
 
In this testimonial, Yvonne Simms, Special Projects Coordinator at Mission Thrift, joins i3’s Brent Humphrey to talk about that challenge, as well as diving into Mission Thrift’s values and core mission across Canada and around the world. 
 
« Overnight dumping and loitering were a persistent problem for our team at Mission Thrift’s London South location, leaving a mess for staff to deal with every morning. »
 
Yvonne shared that once i3’s cameras were installed at that location, the current store manager told her the problem was pretty much resolved right away.
 
We’re grateful to Yvonne and the entire Mission Thrift team for their initiative, their trust, and for sharing their experience with us. Watch the full conversation below, and reach out if you’d like to talk about how i3Ai solutions can improve your safety and security, asset protection, and operational efficiency.

🇨🇦 What better way to celebrate Canada Day than by officially living it in this new chapter for i3?

We have finally settled into our new headquarters at 251 Bartley Drive and took a moment yesterday to celebrate not only Canada Day, but also the incredible milestone that this is, and all the hard work that has stood behind it.

We proudly wore our red and white, and shared a few laughs together; a great reminder that while our address may have changed, what makes i3 special has always been our people.

Here's to new beginnings and many more memories made under our new roof.

Happy Canada Day from all of us at i3 International! 🍁

🎒 We're heading to the Ontario Municipal & School Boards' Conference (OMC) next week!

The i3 International team is looking forward to connecting with school board leaders, facilities professionals, and education partners from across Ontario to discuss the evolving priorities around school safety, security, and operational efficiency.

As schools continue to navigate challenges ranging from campus safety to va**ng, facility oversight, and day-to-day operations, technology is playing an increasingly important role in helping administrators make informed decisions while supporting safe learning environments.

If you'll be attending, make sure to connect with i3's very own Brent Humphrey to see how our integrated AI-powered solutions are helping school boards enhance safety, improve operational visibility, and make better use of the systems they already have in place.

📅 July 7
📍 Ontario Municipal & School Boards' Conference

We look forward to seeing you there!

A recent Toronto Star story put a spotlight on something many principals already deal with every day: students va**ng in the school washroom.

Va**ng in schools is a challenge boards across the region know well, and one they've been working hard to address. This pilot year, we've had the chance to help.

We worked closely with school administrators and board IT teams to install and integrate smart sensor technology directly into the systems schools already use. That meant it worked cohesively from day one and delivered results school personnel could act on, without adding another disconnected tool to manage.

What we've valued most is learning directly from the people in the building every day. Their insight has shaped how we implement and support this work, and we're grateful to the teams who've partnered with us.

We've seen what a seamless integration can do. There's still time left in the pilot, and if va**ng is a challenge your schools are dealing with, we'd be glad to work with you. Feel free to reach out anytime. 👇
