Store Operations

Manage Store Operations... in Real Time!

By leveraging IoT sensors (e.g., temperature/opening sensors, cart/basket tracking), Thinkin creates a digital twin of your store’s operational status—enabling key services for efficient, real-time management.

IoT sensors monitor fridge temperatures and door openings, ensuring compliance and product safety.
By detecting customer presence in-store, the system helps predict and manage checkout queues—allocating staff based on actual demand.

How It Works?

  • IoT sensors installed in refrigerators, cold rooms, and freezer counters continuously monitor temperature and send real-time data to the ThinkIN platform.

  • Other IoT sensors capture key store status information, such as the number of customers in specific departments or queueing at checkouts.

    In case of anomalies—like a sudden temperature drop or spike—the system sends immediate alerts, allowing staff to act quickly and protect the goods.

  • All data is accessible through intuitive dashboards, supporting audit activities, traceability, and quality control—simplifying operations and improving regulatory compliance.

What Is It For?

Examples of RetailerIN-Enabled Services Supporting Store Operations:

  • Smart Cold Chain Management
    Monitor the temperature of freezers, cold rooms, and refrigerated counters in real time to prevent spoilage, ensure food safety, improve expiry management, and reduce waste and operational costs.

  • Energy Consumption Optimization
    Track the energy usage of refrigeration systems and detect waste caused by open doors, malfunctioning units, or inefficient schedules—helping lower costs and improve energy efficiency.

  • Cleaning and Hygiene Control
    Verify that cleaning operations are performed correctly and on schedule, ensuring high hygiene standards, activity traceability, and a quality service for customers.

  • Checkout Queue Management
    Based on real-time customer presence in-store, anticipate and manage checkout queues to dynamically schedule staff activities and make better use of available resources.
