CONVENIENCE & SMALL-FORMAT RETAIL 

Cut Refrigeration Costs.
Stay Running 24/7.

Convenience stores run on razor-thin margins with refrigeration that never sleeps.
Axiom Cloud gives multi-site operators real-time visibility and predictive intelligence so your team fixes the right equipment before customers ever notice a problem.

39%

Of convenience store refrigeration systems have active
leaks  detected and resolved by Axiom before
product loss occurs

Average energy reduction across refrigeration
equipment without any capital investment or

Fewer service truck rolls per month, per site
meaning fewer emergency callouts and lower reactive
maintenance spend

THE PROBLEM

Why Convenience Refrigeration Is Uniquely Difficult

High location counts, lean maintenance teams, and 24/7 operating requirements make
refrigeration failures catastrophic and invisible until it's too late.

$2K+

Cost Per Emergency Truck Roll

Unplanned service calls in convenience retail routinely run $500–$2,000+ in labor and parts. With dozens or hundreds of sites, reactive maintenance drains margins fast.

24/7

No Downtime Tolerance

Unlike grocery, c-stores have no warehouse
buffer stock. A failed beverage cooler or delicase means immediate lost sales and healthcode risk — any hour of the day.

~1

Maintenance Tech per 10–30 Sites

Most c-store operators run lean service teams covering huge territories. Without remote visibility, techs drive blind — wasting hours on non-issues while real failures go unseen.

PLATFORM DEMO

See How Axiom Transforms Service Operations

Watch how convenience operators use Axiom Cloud to get ahead of failures
catching leaks, predicting equipment faults, and dispatching techs with a full
picture before they arrive on-site.

This demo shows a real service call workflow: from anomaly detection, to alert
routing, to technician dispatch with pre-loaded diagnostics.

Real-time anomaly alerts across all your sites.

Predicted failure timelines with confidence scores

Pre-loaded diagnostic data for each service call

Energy waste identified and attributed by location

AIM Act leak tracking and compliance documentation

WHAT OPERATORS ARE SAYING

From the People Who Run the Sites

These quotes come from retail grocery and multi-site food service operators — operators facing the same maintenance and energy challenges as convenience store teams.

"A lot of times when a technician would
show up on site, they would have no clue
what they were looking for — or even what
equipment needed attention. Axiom
changes that completely."

Sandra Kercher

Refrigeration Operations Lead, Retail Grocery

"It's a different ride to the store if you
already know what you're going to find
when you arrive. Technicians walk in
prepared. Every visit is more productive."

Tom Mathews

Facilities Director, Retail Grocery Chain

"Anomalies are like a 'cheat sheet' for
issues — it tells you there's something
wrong, gives you the data, and you can
address it before it becomes a full failure."

Kyle Eastwood

Regional Facilities Manager, Grocery

MULTI-SITE VISIBILITY

Every Location. One Dashboard.

Convenience operators manage dozens to hundreds of sites with tiny teams.
Axiom Cloud gives you a single pane of glass — surfacing the sites and
equipment that actually need attention, so your technicians stop guessing and
start solving.

Site health scores, ranked alert queues, and energy usage trends give dispatch
teams the context they need to prioritize every service day intelligently.

500+ data streams per site
15-min alert response
60+ supported equipment types

PLATFORM MODULES

Everything Your Maintenance Team Needs

Axiom Cloud is a modular platform — deploy one capability or all four, integrated with your existing service workflows and BMS/controls systems.
Predictive Maintenance

Catch compressor faults, subcooler failures, and condenser problems weeks before they cause downtime. Dispatch techs with full diagnostics already loaded.

Predictive Maintenance

Identify the specific equipment and settings causing energy waste — and track the impact of every change. Average 11% reduction inrefrigeration energy spend.

Enterprise Visibility

Real-time sensor data from every refrigeration asset across everysite. 500+ data streams per location, normalized and surfaced in a single operator dashboard.

Early Leak Detection

AI-powered refrigerant leak detection catching leaks 93% of the time before any sensor alarm triggers — protecting your product, your refrigerant budget, and AIM Act compliance.

CASE STUDIES & RESOURCES

Proof From Real Deployments

Dive into detailed results from grocery and food service operators who share your refrigeration challenges. Convenience-specific case studies coming soon as we
expand in the segment.

How a Specialty Grocery Retailer Reduced Energy Costs in 100+ Stores

$158,600 annual cost savings and 755k kWh reduction.

Enterprise Leak Management: Software vs. Sensors

40% decrease in leak rates; caught 21 leaks missed by traditional sensors.

Grocery Outlet Pilot: Multi-Site Performance Rollout

$418,000 saved on energy and maintenance across 79 stores in 3 months.

Virtual Technician: Predictive Compressor Failure Prevention

Avoided catastrophic food spoilage and emergency weekend service fees.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

What Axiom Pays Back

Based on results from grocery and multi-site food service operators with similar maintenance structures and refrigeration footprints.

Refrigeration accounts for 40–60% of a convenience store's energy bill. Axiom Cloud helps operators reduce that footprint without capital investment — cutting both costs and Scope 1 & 2 emissions from refrigerant leaks and energy waste.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Built for AIM Act Readiness

The AIM Act is accelerating the phase-down of HFC refrigerants — and with it,
tightening leak reporting and record-keeping requirements for commercial
refrigeration systems. Convenience stores that rely on aging equipment face
compounding risk.

Axiom Cloud makes compliance a byproduct of great operations: automatic
leak event logging, refrigerant usage tracking, and documentation ready for
any inspection or audit.

⚠ AIM Act Phase-Down is accelerating — is your fleet ready?

GETTING STARTED

Up and Running in Days, Not Months

Axiom Cloud integrates with your existing controls and BMS without replacing equipment. Most pilots go live within 2 weeks of kickoff.
1

Scope & Connect

We audit your site equipment list
and connect to existing sensors,
controllers, or BMS via secure cloud
gateway — no new hardware
required in most cases.

2

Baseline & Learn

Axiom establishes a performance
baseline for each system, learning
normal operating patterns before
surfacing anomalies and alerts.

3

Pilot Results

Run a 90-day pilot on 3–5 sites. We
quantify energy savings, catch
counts, and technician productivity
gains — before rolling out fleet-wide.

4

Fleet Rollout

Once the business case is proven,
we roll out to your full site fleet with
dedicated onboarding support and
integration with your dispatch
systems.
