About The Customer
Currys PLC is a leading omnichannel retailer of technology products and services, operating through online and 830 stores in 8 countries. They help everyone enjoy amazing technology, however they choose to shop with them. The business was founded in 1884. The company has over 32,000 employees and was looking to modernize, speed up and secure the case management process and track reporting analytics and statistics.
The Challenge
Before transferring to NAVEX EthicsPoint, Currys had no case management system, working from an online reporting platform and manually downloading spreadsheets into an Excel tracking table – a time-consuming manual process. The Compliance Team, which manages and monitors Currys whistleblowing cases, needed a modernized system that would streamline, save time, and add GDPR security when dealing with reports. In addition, Currys’ old whistleblowing system had no automatic functions reporting on enhanced data analytics, limiting the Compliance Team in its effectiveness and efficiency of tracking case types, numbers, potential areas of concern, and topic trends.
The Solution
With the new system, Currys can manage all raised reports on one holistic platform, rather than downloading reports case by case. Ongoing monthly one-to-one check ins between NAVEX and Currys also help ensure that the solution continues to support and meet the company’s needs. Analytics are one of the most helpful features of NAVEX EthicsPoint. With the ability to view dashboards and have visual representations of the data coming in, it makes it easier to spot trends and gain a better company overview – a prospect that the Currys board of directors were highly interested in but, until implementing EthicsPoint, had limited ability to achieve. Alongside the NAVEX EthicsPoint platform, members of the Currys’ Compliance Team continue to attend NAVEX virtual webinars. The webinars help keep the team up to date with the ongoing EU Whistleblower Protection Directive country transpositions, gain insights into the planned UK Whistleblowing Bill, and provide them with the opportunity to ask questions.

Case Study
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.

Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
Case Study
Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
