Retail Outlets

In an industry with thin profit margins, the challenges of managing retail facilities are only increasing. Retail facility managers experience a unique set of challenges when it comes to balancing customer experience and retention with controlling facility operations and managing the numerous systems and equipment that operate their buildings.

In many cases, these systems and equipment function as individual silos, unable to interoperate and share usage data that when utilized properly, provide the whole picture of how operational resources are expended. This complexity makes it more difficult to take advantage of the information existing control systems provide and results in poorly managed building systems, wasted resources and higher operational expenses.

Operating and managing today’s retail stores are being driven by performance, financial optimization, and the customer experience. The rising cost of energy and maintenance, financial pressures to contain costs and the need to provide customer comfort and cyber security are all contributing to how we must control and maintain our retail facilities.

Retail facilities like convenience stores, clothing and shoe stores, restaurants and the such are often equipped with a wide range of systems and devices that control HVAC, energy management, lighting, security and more. The integration and interoperability between these systems is critical in maximizing operations, lowering costs, and achieving the customer experience demanded in today’s dynamic retail environment. The challenge of getting these diverse systems that speak many different protocols to connect and communicate with each other and to the enterprise has been an enormous barrier. That is until now.

Powered by the Niagara Framework®, JENEsys Edge® provides retail store owners with maximum performance at minimum cost.

Strategic Operation of Facilities Matter

Equipped with a wide range of systems and devices that control or monitor HVAC, energy management, lighting, and security—a critical goal for many retail spaces is maximizing the efficiency of these operations while maintaining a set of comfort and safety standards for the overall customer experience. Building operators, integrators, and solution providers, are seeking ways to accommodate new mandates and requirements in the operation of buildings. Evolving health protocols for safe building occupancy has caused an increased focus on smarter ventilation systems.

Phased Implementation

We recognize that projects are subject to certain ROI requirements. Our solutions can be phased-in to meet your specific priorities and budget. Built on an open protocol platform, JENEsys meets the specific needs of individual systems and allows facilities to continually build off the same network deployment and add additional applications as desired. Since each system component is open, each can be integrated and rolled out in a series of phased implementations. Add different modules, as necessary.
