The Challenge
Dorhouse, a retail provider of rental coffee machines and capsules across Italy, was facing challenges in managing its growing salesforce. The company was struggling to find the right people at the right time and follow up on lost calls and customer conversations. This resulted in lost sales and unhappy customers. Dorhouse also lacked the ability to measure customer service, such as being able to monitor calls and evaluate how employees were handling those calls to improve performance. To support business growth and improve customer satisfaction, they needed a solution that would allow customers to simply and quickly reach employees regardless of their location - whether in an office or on the road.
About The Customer
Dorhouse is a retail provider of rental coffee machines and capsules across Italy. For over 10 years, Dorhouse has been the number one capsule coffee specialist: providing its rental coffee machine the Nautilus, and CoffeeForYou, an innovative approach to providing customers coffee capsules for its many other machines. Located in Campogalliano near Modena, Dorhouse has approximately 80 employees and 15 retail outlets serving its customers. The company relies on delivering speed and great customer service to its customers.
The Solution
Dorhouse approached TeamEis who proposed the Dema UC solution powered by BroadSoft. Dema UC is a suite of communications applications in the cloud that transform the way people work, by making it more efficient for them to communicate and collaborate. Key features include HD audio and video calling, viewing presence availability, instant messaging, virtual meeting rooms, and other cloud telephony features such as one number service, call forwarding, and auto-attendant. Dema UC includes built-in call centre capabilities such as call distribution, monitoring, reporting, and easy access to colleagues from within the same window in real-time during customer calls. The app can be downloaded and used on PC, tablet and smartphone. Not only does Dema UC solve the two key problems for Dorhouse, enabling customers to easily reach employees regardless of location, and providing the ability to monitor calls and performance, it empowers Dorhouse with state-of-the-art unified communication and collaboration capabilities that enables their employees to work more productively together from anywhere and any device.

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.
