Key Outcomes

200+

manhours saved per store annually, across 2,500+ retail locations

99.9%

equipment uptime through remote diagnostics and automated work orders

<5 min

data capture across all monitored devices

Executive Summary

A US refrigeration equipment manufacturer manages temperature monitoring across more than 2,500 retail stores manually. The approach drove high equipment downtime, escalating maintenance costs, and left the client unable to control business-critical operations remotely. Altimetrik built a SaaS store monitoring platform with multi-site control, real-time temperature tracking, and detailed alarm/activity history. It added secure role-based remote diagnostics and CRM integration that auto-generates work orders from business rules, replacing manual monitoring with centralized, data-driven operations across the store estate.

Business Challenge

Temperature monitoring across the client’s 2,500+ store retail estate was entirely manual. Store staff checked cases and escalated issues by hand, with no centralized visibility into what was happening across locations. This drove up equipment downtime, pushed maintenance into a reactive cycle with escalating costs, and consumed staff time on routine checks that delivered little operational insight.

Most critically, the client had no way to control business-critical operations remotely every diagnosis and response required someone physically on site.

Why It Mattered

In refrigerated retail, temperature excursion is both an inventory loss and a compliance risk. Multiplied across thousands of stores, manual monitoring didn’t just slow things down — it left the client’s most important operational risk effectively invisible until it had already become a problem.

Solution

Altimetrik deployed a SaaS-based store monitoring platform providing multi-site control, real-time temperature monitoring, and detailed logging of alarms, temperatures, and user activity.

The platform enables quick, accurate remote diagnostics with secure, role-based access across all store locations, so issues can be identified and often resolved without dispatching a technician. Where a site visit is required, the platform integrates with the client’s CRM and creates work orders automatically based on configured business rules, removing the manual step between detecting a problem and acting on it.

Data capture across all monitored devices completes in under five minutes, giving the operations team a near-live picture of the entire estate rather than a lagging set of manual logs.

Business Outcomes

Productivity

  • 200+ manhours saved per store annually
  • Routine manual checks eliminated
  • Work orders created automatically from business rules, with no manual intervention

Uptime

  • 99.9% equipment uptime
  • Remote diagnostics resolve issues without a site visit
  • Faster response to alarms through real-time detection

Control and Scale

  • 2,500+ stores shifted from manual to centralized intelligent monitoring
  • Under 5-minute data capture across all devices
  • Secure, role-based access and full audit history of alarms, temperatures, and user activity

Altimetrik Advantage

Altimetrik replaced a manual process at estate scale, not in a pilot store. By pairing real-time monitoring with remote diagnostics and automated work-order creation, the platform closes the loop from detection to resolution, turning 2,500+ independently managed sites into one centrally operated system.
