With the Accruent solution, we see increased equipment uptime and performance. Centralized decision making and equipment control saves our associates time, reduces energy costs, and gives us the tools that we need to better manage our assets in a rapidly changing world of grocery retail."
— Cody Sandahl, Energy and Material Recovery Manager
Skogen’s Festival Foods saw an opportunity to save money and to better manage assets with more focus and more consistency through the improved tracking of store equipment and repairs. The company also wanted to develop a refrigerant replacement strategy to improve the control and management of refrigerant costs while holding vendors fully accountable. In addition, the retailer was experiencing frustrations with its alarm monitoring program due to a high volume of superfluous calls.
Accruent provides us with a convenient platform in which our asset data can be managed from one pane of glass. The consistent maintenance program across our complete portfolio frees up time for all of our in-store associates to do what they do best, which is take care of our guests."
Skogen’s Festival Foods chose Accruent’s suite of solutions for facility and asset management, refrigerant management and IoT remote alarm monitoring. The grocer first implemented vx Maintain to centrally manage the full workflow of reactive and planned activities, including work orders, warranties and invoices. It then deployed vx Sustain to manage all events for refrigeration and HVAC systems, including gas types and volumes, leak history and technician certifications. Lastly, it deployed vx Observe for remote monitoring and control of multiple equipment types.
We’ve virtually eliminated the noise of overactive alarms. Out of 300,000 raw alarms, vx Observe determined fewer than 9,000 were valid, leading to a dramatic decrease in vendor calls while ensuring we address critical failures."
By implementing Accruent, Skogen's Festival Foods was able to revamp and modernize its maintenance program, ensuring consistency across its portfolio and allowing for optimal energy consumption. The integration of vx Maintain and vs Observe means the company can link alarms with costs to make better repair and replace decisions on equipment while preventing further upstream alarms for the same condition. And the use of vx Sustain enables it to develop a refrigerant replacement strategy as the company shifts toward lower GWP refrigerants while holding vendors accountable for fixing leaks.
