Nisa has partnered with technology company Simble, to equip its retailers with tools to better manage and reduce their energy consumption and costs.
By integrating Simble’s cloud-based platform, SimbleSense, into operations, Nisa retailers can access real-time insights on energy usage and make informed decisions to improve efficiency and sustainability.
Its cloud-based platform, SimbleSense, connects directly to energy meters, providing retailers with comprehensive analytics on their energy consumption. This highlights areas where energy is being wasted, identifies equipment in need of upgrading, and provides consumption data that can help retailers negotiate better contracts with utility providers. Retailers can also set usage parameters, receiving alerts when energy consumption exceeds pre-set thresholds.
Nisa trialled the technology with MPK Garages, a 28-site forecourt retailer, which experienced a 31% reduction in energy consumption during the three-month trial period. This equated to savings of approximately £3,000 per month per site.
“This has been achieved by following the detailed reports generated by the system and implementing suggested changes discovered using the technology,” said a spokesperson from MPK Garages. “The daily insights allow us to make informed decisions and reduce energy costs across the estate.”
Trials Manager at Nisa, Tim Norton, said: “SimbleSense has exceeded our expectations in reducing energy consumption and costs while offering easy-to-understand real-time tracking. We are excited to make this service available to all our retailers to help them achieve similar benefits.”
