Optical Stores Across America See Estimated $1.2 Million in Energy Savings
Bringing Energy Clarity to National Optical Retail Chain
Introduction
Managing a nationwide retail chain with hundreds of stores across multiple states poses a number of challenges; providing a seamless customer experience, achieving consistency and customer loyalty, and overcoming competitors as well as a quickly growing online rivalry to mention a few.
With the lights on all day, air conditioners running, and long hours to cater to shoppers, energy costs start to have a significant impact on profits, as they quickly add up. So was the case with a national optical retail giant who needed help to manage energy costs for hundreds of locations.
Primary Challenges
Steadily Increasing Energy Costs
Needing to manage energy across multiple locations simultaneously
Struggling to manage energy budgets to increase profits
Starting with an initial analysis of their usage patterns across all qualifying locations, hundreds of savings opportunities were detected. Having access to the top retail suppliers in each zone, we were able to locate lower energy rates for most locations as well as contract terms that catered to their individual energy needs and realized an estimated $150,000 in annual savings.
The Result
An estimated $1.2 Million in total savings
Budget protection and certainty, increased profits
20% reduction in energy bills and energy management across hundreds of locations
