Imagine your company could monitor the precise energy consumption of all its branches, uncover valuable savings potential, fulfill ESG requirements, and simultaneously achieve its sustainability goals – all in record time and without interrupting operations.
In an ambitious project, the DOUGLAS Group is relying on deZem's expertise to implement ESG-compliant data collection in approximately 1,900 stores across 22 European countries in just 10 months. 1,100 stores have already been installed within the first 6 months, with the rest to follow in the coming weeks – far ahead of schedule.
Aided by the Companion App, installation teams equip each store with twelve of deZem's Harvy2 LoRaWAN power sensors, which monitor both the total electric load and the specific electricity demand for lighting and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). The collected data is visualized in the deZem DataSuite for energy management, providing valuable insights that lay the foundation for in-depth analysis and substantial cost savings.
The deZem Advantages at a Glance:
- Seamless Installation: Hardware is installed without disrupting branch operations.
- Comprehensive Analyses: Real-time evaluations, including comparisons with historical data and between different locations, uncover savings potentials.
- ESG-Compliant: The acquired data can be used for legally required ESG reporting.
- Future-Proof: The manufacturer-independent system is flexibly expandable and ready for future requirements (CO2 sensors, system control, motion sensors, etc.).
- Efficient Rollout: Parallel working teams and the intuitive Companion App guarantee a fast and structured installation in all countries.
The DOUGLAS Group is impressed: "Thanks to an efficient rollout and good customer communication, deZem proves to be the full-service solution we were looking for," says Lars Bangemann (Sen. Manager Construction, Maintenance & Repair).
The outlook is promising: Significant (without investment and easily achievable) efficiency potentials are already emerging in many branches within the first few weeks after installation. Given the economies of scale from approximately 1,900 branches, the investment for the DOUGLAS Group is expected to pay for itself in a very short time.
