Retail energy management
A retail energy management solution that ranks every store's next fix.
FrostLogic Explore reads the meters, refrigeration and BMS across your estate and returns one ranked list — which store is wasting energy, which fridge is about to fail, what it costs to wait.
- EU-hosted
- Read-only
- Works across every site
The problem
One dashboard per store doesn't scale to a hundred.
A retail energy management solution has to do one thing the single-building tools don't: make sense of a whole estate at once. A store manager can watch one site. Nobody can watch two hundred dashboards, so the energy waste and the failing refrigeration hide in plain sight until the bill or the spoiled stock shows up.
FrostLogic Explore reads the meters, refrigeration controllers and BMS you already run in each store and rolls them into one ranked queue across the portfolio. Not a dashboard per site. A single list of what to act on first, by store, with the cost of waiting attached.
No new hardware in the typical store. Explore connects read-only to the systems already in the building and returns its first findings in the first week.
Across the estate
Your portfolio, at a glance.
What it does
Energy and refrigeration across the estate, in one queue.
Portfolio view
Every store's energy ranked against the rest, normalised for size and use, so the worst performers surface on their own instead of hiding in an average. Multi-site energy management without one tab per location.
Refrigeration & cold-chain
Explore watches refrigeration sensor data and flags a case or pack that's drifting before it fails. A caught fault is energy saved and stock saved, which is the part of retail energy most software misses.
HVAC & lighting
Out-of-hours running, fighting setpoints, doors held open to the street — the ordinary energy leaks across a store estate, found and ranked, not buried in monthly totals.
Continuous compliance
Evidence for EPBD/BACS and refrigerant (F-gas) obligations gathered from live data across every site, ready when the audit comes, not rebuilt by hand per store.
Store energy monitoring across the whole chain, in one ranked queue — not a dashboard per site.
The difference
A wall of store dashboards vs. one ranked estate.
| A dashboard per store | FrostLogic Explore | |
|---|---|---|
| The view | One site at a time | The whole estate, ranked |
| Worst performers | Lost in averages | Surfaced automatically |
| Refrigeration | Alarms when it's already failed | Flagged as it drifts, before stock loss |
| Who does the analysis | A regional manager, by hand | The platform, grounded in each building's physics |
| Compliance | Pulled together per store at audit time | Gathered continuously across sites |
| Hardware | Often a new platform per site | Reads what each store already runs, read-only |
| Data | Varies | EU-hosted or self-hosted, GDPR-native, no PII |
At a glance
Built to drop into the stores you already run.
No rip-and-replace, no new field hardware in the common case. Explore connects read-only over the protocols your BMS and refrigeration controllers already speak, processes data in the EU, and returns its first ranked findings within the first week — adding a store is a connection, not a project.
How it works
Read every store, reason, rank the estate.
01 · Read
Every store's systems
Explore connects to the meters, refrigeration and BMS in each store over standard protocols. Read-only. Nothing new to install in the common case.
02 · Reason
Grounded in each building's physics
The Frostdynamics engine grounds every signal in each building's physics. A drifting fridge and a sticking damper are judged against how that store actually behaves, not a flat threshold. It cites the data it used and invents nothing.
03 · Rank
One queue across the portfolio
You get one queue across the portfolio: which store, what to fix, why, and the cost of waiting. Energy, refrigeration and compliance in a single ordered list.
Before you ask
Retail energy management, the questions we get.
Software that collects energy, refrigeration and BMS data from across a chain of stores and helps cut waste and prevent failures. FrostLogic Explore goes past per-store dashboards: it ranks what to act on across the whole estate, by store, and explains why.
Dashboards show one site at a time and leave the comparing to you. Explore rolls every store into one ranked queue, normalised for size and use, so the worst performers and the failing equipment surface on their own.
Both. Explore reads refrigeration sensor data alongside energy and HVAC, and flags a case or pack that's drifting before it fails. In retail a refrigeration fault is lost stock, so that's often where it pays for itself first.
Usually not. Explore reads from the meters, refrigeration controllers and BMS each store already has, over BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT and M-Bus. It's read-only and never writes back.
It's built for the estate, not the single building — the portfolio view is the point. Whether it's ten stores or several hundred, they roll into one ranked queue.
In the EU. Managed SaaS runs on Hetzner's ISO 27001 data centres, GDPR-native, or you self-host in your own Kubernetes cluster. The platform processes building and sensor data only, no PII.
