Smart Building Analytics for Grocery, Supermarket & Convenience Stores
Predict Leaks. Reduce Workload. Cut Costs.
Optimise Every Store.
In today’s competitive grocery environment, refrigerant leaks, energy drift, labour shortages, and compliance failures are not just operational challenges — they directly affect profit margins and brand reputation. Yet many stores still rely on reacting to alarms, a reactive approach that misses early warning signs and drives up costs.
Bueno’s grocery building analytics platform changes this, giving operations, maintenance, and sustainability teams the clarity to act before issues escalate — helping networks achieve over 35% reduction in refrigerant leak events and 20–40% portfolio energy savings.
Our AI-powered modules maintain equipment health, reduce emergency call-outs, and keep you ahead of regulatory change — without adding hardware or complexity. With the ability to connect to all your grocery systems — like refrigeration, HVAC, lighting, solar, and service workflows — we give teams the full picture of what’s really happening, providing the insight they need to act with confidence, cut costs, and minimise risks.
A Smart Building Analytics Platform Driving Refrigeration, HVAC & Energy Performance
Store Decarbonisation That Works
At Bueno Analytics, we help grocery retailers turn everyday operations into a competitive advantage. Our platform uncovers hidden inefficiencies, validates performance, and prioritises actions that deliver measurable impact — from reducing refrigerant leak rates to cutting network-wide energy use.
We work with your existing systems — refrigeration, HVAC, lighting, solar, sub-metering, and service platforms — to provide the operational clarity you can’t get from reactive alarm monitoring alone. By revealing where stores are drifting from expected performance and why, we give you the insight to act decisively, meet building ratings for grocery like NABERS, LEED, and BREEAM, and stay on track with your sustainability goals.

From Reactive Alarms to Predictive Analytics
Most grocery stores still manage maintenance and repairs by reacting to alarms — acting only after something has already gone wrong. When an alarm sounds, equipment is already broken or underperforming, triggering urgent or after-hours call-outs, disrupting operations, and leaving customers facing broken fridges or an uncomfortable store.
"Alarms are important — they’re a safety net — but they can’t improve performance, lower costs, reduce energy use, or extend asset life on their own."
Bueno’s analytics-driven approach puts you one step ahead of the alarm – days or weeks before traditional sensors trigger.
