Grocery Store Analytics Software That Drives Operational Performance
Turn Your Store Data Into Smarter Decisions
Bueno’s grocery store analytics software connects with refrigeration, HVAC, POS, metering, and IoT systems across stores to detect inefficiencies, reduce energy waste, and optimise performance in near real time.
What Is Grocery Store Analytics?
Grocery store analytics refers to the practice of collecting, analysing, and acting on operational data from all systems within a grocery environment — refrigeration units, HVAC, lighting, energy meters and IoT sensors. Whereas many grocery chains rely on dashboards and reporting, grocery store analytics software adds advanced diagnostics, prediction, and optimisation to that data layer.
At Bueno, we go further: we link each insight (e.g. refrigerant leak, energy drift, anomalous HVAC behaviour) to measurable outcomes in cost, energy, and emissions. Our AI-driven platform works on 5-minute data intervals, giving operators visibility and control across store networks.
Core Capabilities of Our Grocery Store Analytics Platform
Bueno’s platform is designed for grocery and supermarket networks that demand reliable, scalable analytics. Each capability connects directly to our four core modules — Refrigerant Leak Detection, Refrigeration Analytics, HVAC Optimisation, and Energy Optimisation — to deliver proven operational results across every store.
| Capability / Module | What It Does in Grocery Stores | Typical Savings / Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerant Leak Detection | Detects and quantifies leaks early to prevent product loss, reduce maintenance callouts, and support AIM Act compliance. Minimises fines, environmental impact, and costly stock losses. | Reduction of fines and refrigerant loss |
| Refrigeration Analytics | Monitors racks and cases, validates charge and suction setpoints, and detects cycle inefficiencies or compressor drift. Supports predictive maintenance and reliability. | 5–10% energy reduction |
| HVAC Optimization | Identifies and corrects HVAC faults such as simultaneous heating/cooling, poor air balance, and extended runtimes. Improves comfort and extends equipment life. | 10–20% energy reduction |
| Energy Optimization | Analyses whole-store consumption, detects energy drift, validates control strategies, and optimises scheduling across refrigeration, HVAC, and lighting with portfolio benchmarking. | 5–30% total energy reduction |
Deploying all four modules together maximises gains — shifting grocery portfolios from reactive maintenance to continuous, data-driven optimisation across every store. While Energy Management can be used as a standalone module, typically delivering around 5 % energy savings, its real strength comes when combined with the other modules. By integrating insights from refrigeration, HVAC, and leak detection, Energy Management unlocks much greater savings across the portfolio — using advanced tools like Energy Slip to pinpoint underperforming stores, prioritise improvements, and sustain long-term efficiency gains.
Why Bueno for Grocery Store Analytics
Bueno’s AI-powered building analytics delivers deeper insight, faster value, and measurable improvement. We don’t just visualise grocery store data — we make it actionable.
1. Near Real-Time Data Collection
Our Grocery Store Analytics data is collected every 5 minutes across all major systems. You don’t wait hours or days for insights — you see drift, faults, and opportunities as they emerge.
2. AI-Powered Fault Detection and Predictive Modelling
Our algorithms prioritise faults by likely cost and energy impact; they forecast performance deviations before they escalate.
3. Flexible Integration Across Systems
Bueno’s Grocery Store Analytics connects seamlessly with existing BMS, EMS, refrigeration controllers, and CMMS workflow systems — including Emerson E2, Copeland, and other major OEM platforms. Our brand-agnostic integration approach eliminates vendor lock-in and ensures smooth deployment across diverse store formats, without costly hardware changes or network disruptions.
4. Alignment with ESG & Certification Goals
Our analytics support reporting frameworks relevant to grocery chains (e.g. energy reduction targets, carbon reporting, green building frameworks).
5. Demonstrated Impact in Retail & Grocery Contexts
Bueno’s Grocery Store Analytics clients have achieved 20–40 % energy reduction in comparable environments, coupling reliability with performance uplift.
6. AIM Act and ALDS Compliance Support
Bueno helps grocery operators meet refrigerant management requirements under the U.S. AIM Act and Automatic Leak Detection System (ALDS) regulations. Our analytics automatically identify leak events, verify sensor performance, and maintain compliance records — ensuring networks remain audit-ready while reducing fines and environmental impact.
Who It’s For
Store & Facility Managers
Store and facility managers gain the ability to prioritise maintenance tasks and minimise downtime through early fault detection. By identifying performance drift before failures occur, they can extend equipment lifespan, reduce unplanned service calls, and keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.
Energy and Sustainability Teams
Energy and sustainability teams use Bueno’s analytics to quantify energy and emissions reductions across the network. The platform supports carbon reporting, ESG disclosures, and supply chain sustainability goals, helping teams demonstrate measurable progress toward net-zero targets.
Operations and Asset Teams
For operations and asset teams, Bueno provides clear benchmarking across store portfolios, helping them identify performance gaps and direct capital investment where it delivers the greatest impact. Verified measurement tools allow teams to validate upgrades and track improvement over time.
Technology and Integration Partners
Technology and integration partners can enhance operational performance by connecting Bueno’s analytics into existing workflow and maintenance management systems. By integrating with CMMS and contractor dispatch platforms, Bueno helps automate fault allocation, prioritise maintenance by impact, and reduce unnecessary truck rolls — maximising workforce potential across large, distributed store networks.
Core Grocery Store Analytics Modules
Bueno’s Grocery Store Analytics modular platform lets grocery teams focus on what matters most—right from the start. Whether it’s achieving refrigerant compliance, cutting leak rates, streamlining field operations, or improving energy performance, you can begin where the impact is greatest. Each module adds value and momentum, creating a clear, scalable pathway to full-store optimisation across your entire network.

Operational Integration & Workflow
When you deploy Bueno’s grocery store analytics, your workflow becomes:
Data Ingestion & Normalisation
Pull from BMS, refrigeration controllers, meters, IoT sensors.Fault & Drift Detection
AI rules and diagnostic models detect anomalies and energy drift.Prioritised Actions
Dashboard surfaces faults ranked by potential impact (energy, cost, risk).Strategy Validation
Changes (e.g. control settings) are validated for uplift; regression is flagged.Reporting & ROI Measurement
Build energy, cost, and emissions reports; compare stores; quantify ROI.
This operational loop turns building data into stored value, not just insight.
