Videris Automate has been named as a finalist in the 2026 Tackling Economic Crime Awards (TECAs), in the Outstanding New Product, Software or Technology category.

About Videris Automate
Videris Automate, the innovation listed as a finalist in the Outstanding New Product, Software or Technology category, seeks to solve a problem facing counter-economic crime teams in private and public sector alike. Initial investigative steps, such as data collection and disambiguation, are highly manual and repetitive. While these activities are essential, they rarely require specialist investigative expertise – yet, many teams spend precious time repeating them for every case.
That’s time that could be spent producing insights, conducting complex analysis and connecting the dots. When teams are facing a higher volume of investigations than ever before, and criminal activity is becoming increasingly complex, that lost time adds up.
By automating key investigative steps, Videris Automate solves this imbalance and empowers analysts to focus on the work that really matters. Teams using Videris Automate start every case with more context, including a report and network diagram ready to review, enabling them to uncover more insights in less time.
Recognition from the TECA judging panel provides independent validation of the real-world value Videris Automate is delivering to organisations tackling financial and economic crime. Finalists are chosen by a panel of industry specialists, with criteria specifying that any product listed in the Outstanding New Product, Software or Technology category must have a marked effect on tackling economic crime. Videris Automate is making a genuine difference, and its listing as a finalist is testament to this.
