A new partnership has been announced between LoweConex and Aldi that is expected to help improve the retailer’s operations and support its sustainability goals.
LoweConex, a provider of integrated workplace management systems (IWMS) for critical assets, has partnered with Aldi UK and Ireland, to drive asset monitoring and control in Aldi stores.
The partnership will support Aldi’s sustainability goals to be fairer, greener, healthier, and better every day, delivering strong availability and “the best in fresh” for their customers.
The initiative utilises LoweConex’s ‘Switch’ IWMS platform and a bureau team to manage day-to-day activity of critical assets and will deliver significant energy savings whilst maintaining food safety. By introducing sophisticated automation between existing building management and maintenance software platforms, the solution enables Aldi store colleagues to have more time with customers on the shop floor.
LoweConex’s platform delivers detailed analysis and control, as a market leader in food retail asset management, and is expected to revolutionise the way Aldi uses data to drive its commitments to both colleagues and customers.
Ian Lowry, CEO of LoweConex, remarked: “Aldi exemplifies the innovative spirit that LoweConex was built to support.
“This collaboration will deliver outstanding results in the connected asset space and confirms LoweConex as the leading vendor in food retail asset management, especially across the refrigeration class.”
He added: “We’re honoured to begin our partnership with Aldi and are excited to see how they leverage LoweConex to drive even greater impact in their stores.”
LoweConex also works with cosmetics brand L’Occitane.
Last year, the two companies revealed details of their asset monitoring partnership, which sees the bath, body, and skincare brand access the tech company’s data platform to maintain control over its energy consumption across its real estate.
It collects all heating, ventilation, and air conditioning data in one platform so it can monitor asset performance and take greater control of its energy consumption.
