As a grocer, your refrigerated inventory is one of your largest operating expenses – and one of your biggest risks. A single overnight failure can cost between $10,000 and $50,000 in spoiled inventory, and a claim deductible can exceed $100,000. In today’s operating environment, grocers can’t afford that kind of disruption and expense.
That’s why more AWG retailers are turning to Storewise Continuous Temperature Monitoring. This modern solution provides 24/7 automated tracking of refrigeration and hot holding equipment, real-time alerts when temperatures move out of range, and digital logs that support inspections and insurance claims.
What Is Continuous Temperature Monitoring?
Continuous Temperature Monitoring uses battery-powered, wireless sensors to track cooler, freezer, and hot holding temperatures in real time. The system sends alerts via text, email, or live phone calls if temperatures exceed safe limits. Whether it’s a walk-in unit, produce cooler, deli case, hot tray line, rotisserie station, or smoker, grocers can continuously monitor performance with confidence.
This isn’t just a safety net, it’s a compliance tool. It protects our business and our brand.
