The problem

A store never stops. Most of its risks start after closing.

A freezer fails on Saturday night. A pipe starts dripping over the stockroom at 2 a.m. Ventilation quietly underperforms through the busiest shopping hours. Retail runs on thin margins — and its most expensive incidents happen when nobody is watching, then multiply across every location in the chain.

What goes wrong

Spoiled goods discovered on Monday morning — a full display case written off

Temperature logs for food-safety compliance kept by hand, clipboard by clipboard

Water damage in stockrooms found hours after it started

Stuffy sales floors that shorten customer visits

Every store reporting differently — no chain-wide picture

Staff checking fridges manually instead of serving customers

/ What we monitor

Five quiet risks. One platform.

Refrigerated display cases in a supermarket

01Fridges & Freezers

No more clipboards, no more Monday-morning surprises

Continuous temperature monitoring in every cooler, freezer, and display case. Widgelix alerts staff the moment temperature drifts — long before goods spoil — and keeps a complete, automatic temperature history for food-safety compliance.

02Cold Chain

From the supplier's truck to the shelf — with evidence

Track temperature from the supplier's truck to the back-store cooler to the shelf. Data loggers and sensors record every stage, so you know exactly where the chain held and where it broke — with the evidence to settle supplier disputes and satisfy auditors.

03Warehouses & Stockrooms

Back-of-house inventory stays within spec

Temperature, humidity, and door activity across storage areas protect inventory that never reaches the sales floor. Sensitive goods stay within spec, doors left open get flagged, and conditions are logged per room — across every back-of-house in the chain.

04Leak Detection

The incident that closed a store becomes an alert handled in minutes

Leak sensors in technical rooms, under coolers, and in stockrooms catch water the moment it appears — and can trigger automatic shut-off valves before damage spreads to stock and interiors.

05Air Quality

Air your customers want to stay in

CO₂, temperature, and humidity monitoring on the sales floor keeps the shopping environment comfortable — because stuffy air shortens visits. Ventilation responds to actual conditions and actual footfall, not a fixed schedule, saving energy in the quiet hours.

All five run on the same sensors-to-action platform — one dashboard, one rule engine, one alert system, every store.

/ How it works

From a sensor in a freezer to a decision in seconds

Sensors everywhere they're needed

Temperature, humidity, leak, door, and air sensors from any vendor, in coolers, stockrooms, and sales floors.

One network per store, owned by you

Battery-powered sensors report over LoRaWAN through the GreenMesh LoRaWAN Network Server; one gateway typically covers a whole store.

Rules watch every reading

Persistence-based logic separates a real failure from a defrost cycle or a door held open, and escalates only what matters.

Action follows automatically

Push and SMS alerts to store staff, shut-off commands to valves, ventilation adjustments — and every event logged for compliance.

Example rule

“If freezer #4 stays above −15 °C for 20 minutes — alert the store manager by SMS. If nobody acknowledges in 15 minutes — escalate to the regional office.”

Written once. Deployed to every store in the chain.

/ Your infrastructure

One gateway per store. A network the whole chain owns.

Retail is a perfect LoRaWAN case: dozens of battery sensors per store, freezers and stockrooms where Wi-Fi doesn't reach, and no appetite for touching the store's IT network. One gateway typically covers an entire store, sensors run for years on batteries — and with the GreenMesh LoRaWAN Network Server, the whole chain runs on infrastructure you own. Your gateways, your network, your data. Multi-tenant separation keeps every store, region, or franchisee cleanly apart.

/ AI Integration

Ask your chain how it's doing

Widgelix ships with a native MCP server, so AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude connect directly to your retail telemetry — and to the platform itself. Chain-wide questions get chain-wide answers, in seconds:

The agent reads your data, runs the comparison, and answers in plain language — and with the right permissions, it configures new stores, rules, and reports for you. Rolling out to location #50 takes a conversation, not a console session.

Which stores had temperature excursions this week, and how long did each last?

Compare freezer performance across all locations — which units are failing most often?

Prepare the monthly food-safety temperature report for store #12.

Set up leak alerts for the three new stores, same rules as the rest.

/ Built for chains

One layer instead of five systems

Everything on one platform

Cold chain, leaks, air, warehouses, and energy don't need five vendors and five logins.

Roll out once, deploy everywhere

Rules, dashboards, and alerts built for one store replicate to every location in minutes.

Compliance on autopilot

Automatic temperature logs and scheduled reports replace clipboards and spreadsheets.

Any hardware, your brand

Mix sensor vendors freely; integrators and retail-service providers can deliver it all white-label.

Protect every store. Especially the ones you're not standing in.

Tell us about your locations — how many stores, what you refrigerate, and what keeps your operations team up at night. We'll show you how one platform covers the cold chain, leaks, air, and warehouses across the whole chain, on a network you own.
