Ecotrak provides Facility Management Software to help businesses simplify facilities management. And Disruptive Technologies? Well, we make it easy to collect data from assets. Together, we offer the perfect combination of hardware and software to streamline facility management for our customers in grocery stores, convenience stores, and restaurants.

Ecotrak is a leading provider of tailored facility management solutions across various industries. It aims to bring finance, operations, and facilities together with real-time visibility, actionable insights, and automation. One of the markets it supports is the food service industry, providing grocery stores, convenience stores, and restaurants with asset management software that ensures food safety, streamlines maintenance, and maximizes equipment uptime.

By teaming up with Disruptive Technologies and integrating data from our wireless temperature sensors, Ecotrak has enhanced its platform to empower convenience stores, grocery stores, and restaurants to monitor and manage their cold storage and cooking equipment efficiently.


Challenges in the Food Service Industry

The food service industry operates under stringent food safety regulations and faces significant challenges in maintaining optimal conditions for fresh food preservation. Traditional temperature monitoring methods are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. Ecotrak addresses these challenges with a comprehensive solution that leverages real-time sensor data to deliver preventive action work orders. This might involve notifications about a freezer door left open too long or analyzing temperature data to preempt equipment failures and schedule preventative maintenance.


Core Benefits of Ecotrak's Platform

Ecotrak's platform's core is its ability to gather multiple data points, which are then managed and analyzed to provide valuable insights into equipment performance, energy consumption, and potential food safety risks. With this information easily accessible, businesses can:

1. Proactively manage food safety

Real-time temperature monitoring helps identify and address potential issues before they escalate, preventing food-borne illnesses and reducing the risk of product recalls.

2. Optimize equipment performance

By analyzing temperature trends, businesses can identify equipment malfunctions, schedule preventive maintenance, and extend the lifespan of their assets.

3. Reduce food waste

Early detection of temperature deviations allows prompt corrective action, minimizing food spoilage and reducing financial losses.

4. Improve operational efficiency

Automated monitoring and alerts free up staff time, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks.

5. Ensure regulatory compliance

Ecotrak's platform generates detailed reports demonstrating compliance with food safety standards, simplifying audits and inspections.

A New Standard in Facility Management

By combining Disruptive Technologies' advanced sensor technology with Ecotrak’s robust software, food retail and food service businesses can achieve unprecedented levels of control, efficiency, and food safety.


Strategic Perspective

When asked about partnering with Disruptive Technologies, here is what Matt Singer, CEO at Ecotrak, had to say:

Noah Powers, Sales Director for Disruptive Technologies, Americas, echoes this sentiment, "At Disruptive Technologies, we offer convenience stores and grocery stores a robust solution for monitoring equipment temperature. The Ecotrak platform takes the data from our sensors to provide meaningful work orders, giving our customers peace of mind that everything is working as it should."

Industry Impact

Ecotrak collaborates with some of the biggest names in the food service industry, including Burger King, Wendy's, Dave & Buster’s, and others, helping them maintain optimal operational standards and food safety. Now, with their partnership with Disruptive Technologies, they have an easy way to bring temperature data into their solution and are set to redefine the standards of temperature control and asset monitoring.
