Case Study: Fortune 50 Global Technology Company achieves $57,000 in savings with Switch Automation

Retailer implements Switch Performance Optimization to save $1 per square foot

Fortune 50 Global Technology Company, a North America–based retail portfolio with 100 stores, wanted to improve operational efficiency across its highly technical locations. Working with Switch Automation, the company used Switch Performance Optimization to connect HVAC, lighting, work orders, UPS systems, and utility data in order to reduce energy use, cut technician site visits, speed repairs, and extend equipment life.

Switch Automation piloted the solution in 10 stores, integrating controls and data feeds into the Switch Platform and applying analytics, fault detection, and diagnostics to uncover issues like incorrect HVAC settings, lights left on 24/7, and inefficient equipment cycling. In just three months, Switch Automation helped deliver more than $57,000 in savings, or over $1 per square foot on average, resolved $51,000 in energy savings opportunities, prevented three technician site visits, and generated 845 high-severity alerts.
