关于客户
Four Star Freightliner 是一家货运卡车经销商，在阿拉巴马州、佐治亚州和佛罗里达州设有七家门店。每家经销商都有四条业务线：新卡车销售、二手卡车销售、零件和服务。该公司的口号是“我们将让您继续前行”，反映了其零件和服务业务线的重要性。整个地区的卡车司机都依赖 Four Star Freightliner 来保持车辆的良好运行。该公司近年来发展迅速，经销商数量从六家扩展到七家，员工人数从 130 人增加到 200 人。
挑战
Four Star Freightliner 是一家货运公司，在阿拉巴马州、乔治亚州和佛罗里达州设有 7 家门店，其预算编制流程一直举步维艰。该公司的财务团队严重依赖预算来监控业务状况、跟踪目标进度，并在实际数据不符且需要调整时提供预警。但是，使用电子表格创建公司预算的过程既繁琐又耗时，需要长达两个月的时间才能完成，还需要一周的时间手动输入 ERP 系统。电子表格缺乏适应性，妨碍了公司重新预测每个季度并评估其目标跟踪情况的能力。为员工费用编制预算以及按地点跟踪收入和销售成本也很有挑战性。公司的快速发展（从 6 家经销商增加到 7 家，员工人数从 130 人增加到 200 人）加剧了这些挑战。
解决方案
2016 年，Four Star Freightliner 决定寻找 Excel 的替代方案来处理预算流程。他们邀请了三家预算供应商来展示他们的预算和规划平台，最终选择了 Centage。Centage 平台提供了几个关键功能，使其成为 Four Star Freightliner 的理想解决方案。首先，它通过预编程的业务逻辑和会计规则简化了预算制定过程。这些确保所有输入都根据公司独特的业务结构进行处理，并自动更新所有输出，例如损益表、资产负债表和现金流量表。其次，该平台提供了一个全面的人员预算模块，公司员工可以单独输入，也可以按类似工作职能的组输入。最后，该平台提供了强大的临时报告功能，提供及时且具有视觉意义的报告和仪表板，使业务经理能够更快地做出更好的决策。

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.

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.
