Sensing-as-a-Service for Grocery Stores - SmartSense by Digi

Grocery retailers face constant challenges in maintaining food safety compliance, reducing shrink, and ensuring consistent store execution. Manual temperature checks, paper-based compliance logs, and limited visibility into environmental conditions can lead to food spoilage, regulatory risk, labor inefficiencies, and lost revenue.

SmartSense by Digi's Sensing-as-a-Service solution addresses these challenges by providing a scalable IoT platform that continuously monitors temperature and humidity across critical storage and display environments such as refrigerated cases, bunkers, and walk-in coolers. By automatically collecting and analyzing environmental data, the solution helps grocers protect food quality while reducing reliance on manual processes.

The platform transforms raw sensor data into actionable insights and digital workflows that guide store employees through corrective actions when conditions fall outside safe thresholds. Automated alerts notify teams of temperature excursions before food safety is compromised, helping prevent product loss and food-borne illness.

With centralized visibility across multiple store locations, grocery operators can monitor compliance, track performance, and improve operational consistency. By combining continuous sensing, automated compliance reporting, and intuitive digital decisioning, the solution empowers grocers to optimize labor, improve sustainability, and maintain the highest standards of food safety.
