About The Customer
ProMarket is one of the fastest-growing chains of retail stores in Bulgaria, currently managing 25 convenience stores in Sofia with plans to expand to 100 stores. The company employs over 500 people and is known for its competitive pricing, excellent customer service, and shopping innovations, such as introducing Bulgaria’s first self-service checkout counters in 2010. ProMarket aims to provide a seamless shopping experience and is rapidly gaining popularity in the retail market.
The Challenge
ProMarket required timely and accurate reporting and analysis of key metrics, such as sales, inventory, profit by product category, spoilage, and optimal order quantities for each store. The company was struggling to process very large amounts of data (over 40 million rows) from its centralized database. The data processing, transformation, and analytics were extremely time- and labor-consuming, making it impossible to generate some of the analytics required by management. Business partners of two leading BI vendors demonstrated their solutions to ProMarket and provided implementation proposals. However, ProMarket selected Sisense due to its ability to fully meet their requirements, faster customization of reports and dashboards, impressive data processing speed, and lower total cost of ownership.
The Solution
ProMarket formed a project management team of two managers who worked closely with the implementation team from Mistral Software, a system integrator and major supplier of comprehensive POS solutions to the retail and tourism industries. The Sisense integration project took 10 days, excluding a prior two-week planning phase by Mistral Software. A server was purchased for the BI project at a cost of EUR 1500. Sisense now provides ProMarket managers with a comprehensive view of commercial activities and events in each store. It takes only a few minutes to update 30 specific analytic reports and dashboards, which are continuously available to management in both tabular and graphic forms.

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.
