About The Customer
Sathya Agencies is a fast-growing electronics retailer with more than 33 stores in the state of Tamil Nadu in India. The company offers a wide product range, best brands, customer satisfaction and competitive pricing to its customers. With a core belief of offering quality products at affordable prices, Sathya guarantees customer satisfaction. The company aims to spread its reach quickly to neighbouring states in India by increasing its nationwide presence to more than 100 stores. To accommodate this quick growth, Sathya wanted to gain insights into the stores' performance and facilitate an optimum level of stock keeping and human resources.
The Challenge
Sathya Agencies, a fast-growing electronics retailer with over 33 stores in Tamil Nadu, India, was facing several challenges. The company was experiencing duplication in reporting and delayed response times across departments due to the use of SAP B1 ERP for their operations and the development of numerous custom reports to meet every department’s needs. This led to duplication of information and delayed responses. The company also lacked visibility into excess and non-performing stock at all times, which caused logistic issues. There was also a lack of access to a variety of information required for effective sales campaign executions. Furthermore, the lack of mobile access to information for travelling senior management was a significant challenge.
The Solution
Sathya deployed QlikView to more than 50 users across all functional areas and store managers in less than 4 months. The company evaluated multiple tools like Crystal Server, Micro Strategy before finalizing on QlikView. They had built a small sales application themselves and were convinced on QlikView’s simplicity and data discovery capabilities. Sathya chose GainInsights, a QlikView Partner, to strategize and implement a holistic solution to address these issues and prepare it for the next level of growth. GainInsights implemented an end-to-end solution comprising Finance, Purchase, Sales, HR and Service applications to meet the needs of all the departments. The implementation was completed in four months and rolled out to more than 50 users.

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.
