Solutions / Retail & Warehouses

Stores and Warehouses That Report on Themselves

Dozens of locations, thin margins, and almost no facility staff on site. Gostly watches refrigeration, energy, doors, and docks at every store and warehouse, and counts the shoppers and trucks moving through them — all in one view across the chain.

The Challenge

Small Failures, Multiplied Across Every Location

In retail and logistics, the same problem happens at dozens of sites — and each one lands directly on the margin.

Refrigeration Failures
A walk-in or display case that warms overnight means discarded product, and the first person to notice is the morning shift.
Many Sites, Nobody On Site
Stores and warehouses rarely have facility staff. HVAC left on, lights on all night, and slow leaks go unnoticed for weeks.
Traffic You Can't See
Sales systems record who bought. They don't record how many people walked in, when, or where they spent their time.
Big, Open Buildings
Dock doors left open, unheated spaces, roof leaks over inventory, and sprinkler lines that can freeze in a cold snap.

How Gostly Helps

How Gostly Helps

The same sensors, meters, and camera counts in every location, compared side by side.

Sensors
Refrigeration & Cold Storage
Continuous temperatures for walk-ins, freezers, and display cases, with rate-of-change alerts that catch a failing compressor before product is lost.
Meters
Store-by-Store Energy
Electricity and gas for every location on one chart. After-hours use and demand peaks show which sites are running equipment they don't need.
Space Utilization
Foot Traffic & Dwell
Shopper counts at every entrance from the cameras you already have, plus dwell time in zones — ready to compare against your own sales.
Space Utilization
Dock & Loading Bay Activity
Boxes drawn over dock bays and loading zones measure occupancy, dwell, and turnover — how long trucks really sit.
Sensors
Door & Dock Door Alerts
Cooler doors, dock doors, and exterior doors that stay open too long raise an alert — for energy, product safety, and security.
Sensors
Freeze & Roof-Leak Protection
Low-temperature alerts in sprinkler rooms and unheated areas, and leak sensors under roof drains and over high-value inventory.

What We Watch, Site by Site

The same starting kit rolls out to every location, so each store or warehouse is comparable from day one.

Stores & Grocery
  • Entrance traffic by hour and day
  • Dwell time in departments and checkout queues
  • Walk-in and display-case temperatures
  • After-hours HVAC and lighting use
  • Restroom and back-room leak detection
Warehouses & Distribution
  • Dock door open time and dock bay occupancy
  • Truck dwell at loading zones
  • Space temperature for stored product
  • Sprinkler room and pipe freeze alerts
  • Forklift charging and peak demand
Cold Storage & Food Distribution
  • Cooler and freezer temperature records
  • Freezer door open time
  • Power loss on refrigeration circuits
  • Compressor and refrigeration energy
  • Humidity and condensation in staging areas

Why Now

Why Retailers and Operators Are Measuring Now

Food safety rules, energy costs, and portfolio scale all reward measured data.

Food Safety Records
The FDA Food Code and FSMA rules expect food retailers and warehouses to control — and document — temperatures. Continuous records replace clipboard logs.
Shrink and Spoilage
Every discarded case comes straight off the margin. The alert that saves one walk-in of product often pays for the whole store's sensors.
Demand Charges
Many commercial electric bills charge for the single highest peak of the month. Seeing when peaks happen is the first step to flattening them.
Portfolio Benchmarking
With identical data at every site, outlier stores and warehouses stand out on their own — no site visits needed to find them.
