400 stores. 1,200 RTUs. Zero visibility into which ones fail next.
Retail portfolios run on equipment nobody sees until it stops working.
National and regional retailers run thousands of rooftop units, walk-in coolers, and refrigeration cases across hundreds of locations. We give portfolio teams one risk view across every store, so the money goes where failure consequence is highest. Not where the last emergency happened.
Why retail infrastructure risk hides in plain sight
Retail facilities teams are small, centralized, and responsible for equipment scattered across hundreds of markets. The fleet ages quietly until the first summer heat wave reveals how many units were running on borrowed time.
Large retail portfolios have more rooftop units than they have people to inspect them
RTUs on store rooftops degrade quietly. Refrigerant leaks, compressor wear, and economizer failures accumulate across the fleet with no central view of which units are closest to failing.
Average cost of a single walk-in cooler failure including product loss and emergency repair
The repair itself might be $3,000. The lost inventory, the emergency service premium, and the store disruption multiply the number. Multiply that by 30 events a year across a portfolio and leadership notices the line item.
Critical refrigeration alarms trigger overnight when stores are closed and nobody is watching
The BAS alarm fires at 2am. The call center dispatches at 6. The technician arrives at 10. The walk-in has been above temperature for eight hours, and the product is condemned.
Third-party service vendors across a national portfolio make cost and quality control almost impossible
Every market has its own HVAC contractor, invoice format, and definition of "repaired." Without one structured record of what was done and what it cost, portfolio-level vendor performance is a myth.
How Rivolq helps retail operations teams
Rank every RTU and refrigeration unit across every store by failure probability and consequence
We score each unit by age, runtime hours, service history, and the revenue consequence of the space it serves. A failing RTU over a pharmacy counter scores differently than one over a stockroom.
Watch cold chain integrity across walk-ins, reach-ins, and display cases at every location
Continuous temperature data tied to equipment condition means you see the drift before it becomes a health department violation. Know which compressors are working harder than they should, fleet-wide.
Replace equipment based on the data, not whoever called the hotline last
Portfolio-level planning ranked by failure probability, energy waste, and store revenue impact. Stop spreading the budget evenly. Concentrate it where the risk actually is.
Measure contractor quality and cost across every market with structured work history
Every service call, part swap, and invoice normalizes into the same record. Compare vendors by region, response time, and recurrence. Negotiate your next master service agreement from data instead of war stories.
See your entire fleet in one risk view.
A single pane of glass across every store, every RTU, and every refrigeration system. Decisions driven by data, not emergencies.
