MINNEAPOLIS ,
Sept. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunds & Byerlys, the
upscale grocery retailer in the Twin
Cities, chooses Facilio, a leading provider of facility
management solutions, to digitize its refrigeration compliance
management and store facilities operations. This initiative helps
Lunds & Byerlys stay ahead of the proposed Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory changes and maintain operational
excellence across all of their stores.
The collaboration focuses on leveraging Facilio's integrated
refrigeration compliance management solution, which addresses the
EPA's Proposed AIM Act. This upcoming regulation is expected to
expand Section 608 requirements to include refrigeration appliances
with 15 pounds or more of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant.
Under this Clean Air Act (CAA) rule, supermarkets are required to
monitor, repair, and document commercial refrigerant leaks, with
potential fines reaching up to $57,617 per violation per day.
Facilio's unified refrigeration management platform automates
leak detection and compliance management, minimizing risks for
Lunds & Byerlys. By performing leak inspections every 45 days,
Lunds & Byerlys can now automatically create inspection entries
for all appliances. If a leak is found, Facilio's platform
generates a leak event, enabling swift corrective action.
"With refrigerant costs rising, we sought the best technology to
manage our refrigeration systems efficiently," said Jeff Carlson, Lunds & Byerlys' refrigeration
specialist. "The constant changes in the regulatory environment
at the federal and state levels mean we need to stay on top of
compliance. With Facilio, we no longer have to manually double
book-keep assets and appliance data between multiple systems—giving
back time and enabling efficiency for the facility team."
"We are thrilled to work with Facilio to remove one of the
biggest roadblocks for our store facility operations—integrating
our work order system with refrigeration management processes,"
said Kevin Kungel, Director of
Maintenance at Lunds & Byerlys. "Facilio ensures compliance
by automating the enforcement of compliance events before
contractor invoicing. It closes the loop that's often left hanging
when relying on manual processes and disconnected tools."
In addition to refrigeration compliance tracking, Facilio offers
integrations between its work order management system (CMMS),
existing accounting software, and third-party IT tools. This gives
Lunds & Byerlys a unified view of asset performance and
compliance data, resulting in actionable insights and enhanced
decision-making across various teams, including contractors,
finance, store staff, and field technicians.
Within weeks of deployment, Facilio's intuitive mobile apps have
helped store staff at Lunds & Byerlys to quickly realize value
from the digitization of new compliance processes and facility
operations. They now have access to all operational data in
real-time and on the go.
"We are excited to support Lunds & Byerlys in overcoming
their integration challenges and optimizing their refrigeration
compliance processes," said Basant Singhatwadia, Facilio's
Director of Customer Success. With our Connected CMMS and
refrigeration compliance system in place, Lunds & Byerlys is
now well-positioned for the next phase of innovation. Facilio's
Connected Retail platform, which also includes proactive
refrigerant leak detection, remote monitoring, energy management
and optimization, provides a single pane of glass for all facility
management needs."
