The Situation

A 50-outlet convenience retail chain in Klang Valley runs 11 cold units per site. Every store opens
with a paper log — crew write down fridge, freezer, and slurpee temperatures four times a day.
Nobody reads the binder unless something already went wrong: a customer complaint, a
regulatory visit. By the time anyone looks, a unit has been drifting for days, stock has quietly
been written off, and maintenance is reacting to a breakdown instead of preventing one.

The Gap

01

Drift hidden in paper

Temperature readings logged on paper. No aggregation, no trend view.
A unit can drift 5°C for a week before anyone notices.

02

Maintenance reacts, doesn’t predict

Tickets get raised after a unit fails. By then, hundreds of ringgit of fresh
stock is in the bin and customer experience has taken the hit.

03

Wastage disconnected from cause

Wastage shows up on the COGS line at month-end. The root cause — a
fridge running warm three weeks ago — is invisible to finance and to ops.

04

Compliance risk in a binder

If MOH or the franchise auditor visits, the cold-chain record is only as
complete as the crew’s handwriting on that day.

What Changed

TreeAMS replaced the paper log with a 30-second mobile check, then connected those
readings to maintenance tickets, asset history, and wastage data. Drift no longer waits in a
binder, it triggers a workflow within the hour. Every outlet gets ranked on a live risk scorecard:
green, watch, or critical, based on drift hours and wastage trend, not a gut sense of which store
to visit.



In one flagged case, an outlet's walk-in freezer was drifting 14.2 hours a week, on a 7-year-old
compressor with three failure events in the past year. The system didn't just flag the drift, it
recommended replacing the unit outright, with a 4-month ROI on the swap, instead of another repair cycle.

The Result

Wastage cost down 16% across the pilot cluster in 90 days.

Drift caught in hours instead of weeks, 14x faster.

Every outlet now holds a complete, audit-ready digital record.

Know Within 24 Hours Which Stores
Actually Launched Your Promo

A convenience retail operator had no way to know if a promo actually launched until sales data arrived days later. Photo-verified execution cut that blind spot to 24 hours, lifting compliance from 41% to 92%.
