OTR taps into The Internet of Things – Convenience & Impulse Retailing

In Australia, a new system is being tested in convenience stores. In an effort to reduce human error and to ensure the safety of their food products, stores are turning to electronics. The new systems are set to periodically log the temperature of the food storage machines. This ensures the safety of the food as well as verifying the health of the machines. In addition to increased accuracy, this allows for employees to focus on other tasks.

Key Takeaways:

• Peregrine owns and operates more than 260 stores across Australia including OTR and Smokemart & Giftbox stores.
• According to Peregrine, data and IoT technology helps reduce its enterprise risk, which is predicated on its complete compliance with Australian Food Safety Standards.
• Peregrine is evaluating expanding the solution to an additional five or six stores, with plans to eventually replicate the deployment across its entire network of convenience stores.
