Facilio, the New-York headquartered proptech company known for its suite of smart buildings software, has rolled out a cloud-based supervisory control platform that enables remote monitoring and optimization of refrigeration systems. The company’s Connected Refrigeration Solution delivers up to 20% savings in energy for multi-site food retailers including grocery, convenience store and supermarket operators.
“Our Connected Refrigeration solution helps retailers take control of their refrigeration systems, providing real-time visibility into the performance of their assets across all sites, enabling them to make informed decisions and reduce costs,” says Raj Subramanian, Co-Founder & CPO at Facilio.
The Retail, Food Service, and Grocery sectors spend over $41 billion on energy annually, representing 14 billion square feet of floor space in the U.S alone. Food cooling and refrigeration account for over 50 percent of the store’s energy costs. With Facilio’s Connected Refrigeration solution, food retailers have a $4.1 billion opportunity in energy cost savings.
Facilio lets retail store owners & operators optimize existing refrigeration systems to get ROI within 6 months and save up to 20% in refrigeration energy costs. Guaranteed outcomes include reduction in maintenance costs, service calls, and refrigerant leak rates.
