Requirements
Our solution
Coolers should not be moved, misplaced or unaccounted for.
The CQR device uses a combination of accelerometers, motion & light sensors & highly accurate, real-time GPS to successfully assess when a cooler is moved from it's assigned location and where it has been moved to. We have successfully retrieved numerous stolen assets.
Coolers should maintain the product at an ideal temperature. So as to preserve product quality and provide the optimum customer experience.
The CQR device gathers temperature data from the cooler & Our software uses intelligent algorithms to detect abnormal cooler behavior and generate actionable alerts.
Coolers should be allocated efficiently in-market, so as to maximize the average sales per cooler.
The CQR device gathers data on cooler utilization through the number of door openings & power=on hours/day to provide recommendations on under-utilized & idle coolers that would be suitable for re-allocation.
Coolers should have minimum downtime.
The solution's software has intelligent preventative maintenance technology that can identify malfunctioning coolers & quickly flag them for servicing. Thereby, significantly reducing the average cooler downtime.
