挑战
Northgate Markets, a rapidly expanding supermarket chain in California, was struggling with an unclear and stressful credit request and return approval process. The company had been dealing with this issue for over six years. In an attempt to improve the situation, Northgate Markets implemented a call center to report any return issues, but this did not result in any significant improvement. The process was slow and the transparency of product tracking processes was deteriorating. Store personnel had to spend long periods of time on the phone, trying to reach the right person who could help them at the call center. The biggest challenge for Northgate Markets was to find a solution that would address their problems from a business point of view first and then include the technical component to keep their system transparent and easy to manage.
关于客户
Northgate Market is a private family-owned company based in Anaheim, California. Founded in 1980, the company operates 36 stores in California and employs more than 5,000 people. Northgate Markets is committed to providing fresh and nutritious food while giving back to the community that allows them to keep their dreams growing. As the company expanded, it faced challenges in supervising all return requests. Delivery orders were hard to return and there was an increasing number of sit-in products waiting for approvals from other stores to be processed. This led to increased friction between employees and a lack of visibility in return processes.
解决方案
After many attempts to solve the problem, Northgate understood that what they needed was a tracking solution to oversee their credit processes and initiate returns with full transparency. The solution they needed had to meet all of their business needs and most importantly give employees and the organization full transparency in each step of their delivery system. Intellect was able to meet all the requirements Northgate Markets needed from a BPM solution. Intellect’s actively engaged Support and Professional Services Team made the platform easy to learn and understand. Intellect allowed Northgate employees to easily track their return processes. Today, the Intellect platform’s workflow engine helps all Northgate stores see every step of their processes at all times, from the starting point, when processes are submitted, to the last step.

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.
