Case Study: Whole Foods Market achieves lower energy costs and maintenance savings with Axiom Cloud

Whole Foods Market saves $29,427 per store annually with Axiom Cloud

Whole Foods Market, a major grocery retailer, faced the challenge of manually managing its refrigeration systems, which were economically inefficient and the largest consumer of electricity at the store level. To address this, the company partnered with vendor Axiom Cloud to implement its Virtual Battery application. The goal was to gain real-time performance visibility and improve the management of their existing refrigeration assets.

Axiom Cloud's solution involved deploying two intelligent apps: Virtual Battery to optimize energy use and generate demand response revenue, and Virtual Technician to predict and prevent equipment failures. The implementation resulted in immediate benefits, including significant energy savings and reduced maintenance visits. For Whole Foods Market, this translated to an expected annual saving of $29,427 per store, with a payback period of less than one year, prompting a rapid expansion of the Axiom Cloud apps to dozens of additional locations.
