EasyReach Bluetooth based IoT Solution for Beverage Companies
The beverage industry is a highly competitive market where brand visibility and customer convenience play crucial roles in driving sales. For large beverage companies like Pepsi and Coke, maintaining a consistent and recognizable brand presence in retail outlets is essential. This is achieved, in part, by providing branded refrigerators to retail stores to ensure their products are stored at optimal temperatures and are readily available for purchase. However, managing the placement and usage of these refrigerators across millions of retail outlets in India presents a significant challenge.
Challenges Faced by Baverege Companies
- Beverage companies face several issues with the placement and management of their refrigerators in retail outlets:
- Unauthorized Movement: Retailers may move the beverage company’s refrigerator out and replace it with a competitor’s refrigerator, thus diminishing the brand’s presence.
- Personal Use: Retailers might repurpose the refrigerator for personal use, resulting in a loss of brand visibility and potential sales.
- Labor-Intensive Verification: To ensure the refrigerators remain in designated retail outlets, beverage companies employ merchandisers to visit retail outlets regularly. This approach is laborious, time-consuming, and costly.
EasyReach Solution
EasyReach offers a cutting-edge, patent-pending solution that addresses these challenges effectively and efficiently. The solution leverages Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and a mobile application to monitor the location and status of refrigerators in real-time.
Components of the Solution
- BLE Beacons: EasyReach installs BLE beacons inside the refrigerators. These beacons emit signals that can be detected by mobile devices within proximity.
- Mobile Application: A mobile app is installed on the smartphones of both retailers and merchandisers. This app continuously scans for the BLE signals from the refrigerators.
- Cloud-Based Server: The mobile app sends BLE signal data to a cloud-based server. Using advanced technology and AI, EasyReach can determine the GPS coordinates of each refrigerator.
Key Features of Benefits
- Real-Time Location Tracking: The EasyReach solution provides real-time tracking of the refrigerator’s location, ensuring it remains at the designated retail outlet.Centralized Dashboard: The cloud-based server dashboard allows administrators to view the status and location of all refrigerators in a single, comprehensive view.
- Cost-Effective: By reducing the need for manual verification by merchandisers, the EasyReach solution significantly lowers operational costs.
- Enhanced Efficiency: The automated tracking system ensures efficient monitoring and reduces the likelihood of unauthorized movement or misuse of refrigerators.
- Made in India: The BLE tags are manufactured in India by EasyReach Solutions, promoting local manufacturing and ensuring high-quality standards.
Implementation of Services
EasyReach provides end-to-end services for the implementation and monitoring of the solution:
- Installation Services: EasyReach handles the installation of BLE beacons in the refrigerators and ensures the mobile application is set up on the required devices.
- Continuous Monitoring: The solution offers continuous monitoring and updates, ensuring that the data remains accurate and up-to-date.
- Support and Maintenance: EasyReach provides ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure the smooth functioning of the system.
Case Study: Benefits to Major Beverage Companies
Companies like Pepsi and Coke stand to gain immensely from the EasyReach IoT solution:
- Increased Brand Visibility: By ensuring that their refrigerators remain in designated retail outlets, these companies can maintain strong brand visibility and presence.
- Improved Sales: With refrigerators consistently stocked and accessible, consumers are more likely to make instant purchases, leading to increased sales.
- Operational Efficiency: The reduction in manual labor for monitoring and the ability to track refrigerators remotely enhances overall operational efficiency.
