Instrument Store Operations. Own the Rollout.
HARDWARIO supplies configurable field devices and supported connectivity. Your integration team owns the retail workflow, application, data, and customer relationship.
Common challenges
No visibility into real-time stock levels
Food spoilage from unmonitored storage conditions
Inefficient store layouts based on guesswork
Supply chain blind spots from warehouse to shelf
Manual foot traffic counting is unreliable
Rising shrinkage and theft across locations
Every unknown shelf, cooler, and traffic pattern costs margin.
Retail buyers need fast proof that monitoring reduces waste, improves availability, and turns store operations into measurable decisions.
Review your projectStockouts and overstock both hurt
Without live shelf or storage signals, teams restock late, over-order safety inventory, or send staff to check what sensors could report.
Cold chain issues become write-offs
Temperature and humidity excursions in storage, transport, or displays can spoil food, medicine, and other sensitive products before anyone notices.
Layouts are optimized by instinct
Foot traffic, dwell time, and occupancy data help validate product placement, staffing, and cleaning schedules with evidence instead of guesswork.
How We Help
Smart Inventory Management
Collect supported weight, contact, or other inventory signals with CHESTER and feed them into the replenishment or inventory application your team owns.
Cold Chain and Food Safety
Collect temperature and humidity across storage, transport, and retail displays; the customer application owns thresholds, alerting, and quality decisions.
Foot Traffic and In-Store Analytics
Collect supported motion and presence events and use them as inputs to the in-store analytics your team designs and validates.
Supply Chain Traceability
Collect condition and asset-state signals at selected points; the partner-owned application links them to customer supply-chain data, while origin and traceability require the broader data model.

Your retail application on a store-ready field foundation.
You define the store workflow, user experience, data destination, and rollout model. HARDWARIO supplies configurable devices and supported integration paths.
Pick the first measurable leak
Choose one customer workflow and define its measurement, installation, integration, and ownership boundaries.
Instrument the store without disruption
Use CHESTER Scale, Clime, Motion, or input variants to capture inventory, environment, traffic, and asset status with minimal store downtime.
Add distributed store sensors
Deploy compact STICKER sensors for temperature, humidity, motion, or asset signals across displays, stockrooms, cold rooms, and retail locations.
Centralize alerts and rollout data
Deliver readings to operations, facilities, loss-prevention, or supply-chain systems using supported Cloud REST API, webhooks, and exports where appropriate.
Translate sensor data into store outcomes.
Retail buyers need to connect hardware to shrink, waste, labor efficiency, and customer availability.
distributed sensing
Place supported sensors without bringing power to every measurement point.
open integration
Feed supported Cloud data into the retail systems your team owns.
application and rollout
Keep the customer experience, data model, and roadmap under your control.
Results buyers can verify
Inventory signals from shelves and stock areas
- Before
- Store teams had to inspect shelves, pallets, coolers, and stockrooms manually, making replenishment and loss prevention reactive.
- Deployment
- CHESTER Scale, Clime, and Motion configurations captured inventory, condition, and movement signals without closing the store.
- Result
- The resulting data path can feed partner-owned restocking, facilities, loss-prevention, or analytics workflows.
Products for Retail
CHESTER
CHESTER is our modular industrial IoT platform with cellular IoT, LoRaWAN, and BLE connectivity - battery-powered for years and field-proven down to -40°C in Canadian winters.
STICKER
STICKER is our compact LoRaWAN sensor for environmental monitoring - built-in temperature and humidity sensing, support for external probes, and years of battery life on two AA batteries.
CLOUD
HARDWARIO Cloud handles secure message passing between your devices and systems - with REST API integration, firmware updates over the air (FOTA), and remote device shell.
Prove one store workflow, then make it repeatable.
A typical scoped catalog pilot can target live data in 2-4 weeks. Custom sensing, firmware, or certification paths are scoped separately.
Store workflow review
Identify where staff spend time checking shelves, coolers, stockrooms, displays, or traffic patterns, then define one measurable KPI.
Pilot installation
Install sensors in one store, warehouse zone, or product category and validate alerts against existing manual routines.
Operations dashboard
In the partner-owned application, configure thresholds, store views, alerts, exports, and API data for replenishment, facilities, supply chain, or analytics teams.
Roll out by store format
Repeat the proven setup across locations, cold-chain areas, high-value inventory zones, or regional store clusters.
Buyer questions
Can sensors be deployed without closing the store?
Yes. The recommended retail devices are wireless and battery-powered, so pilots can be installed with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Which retail use case should we start with?
Start where the loss is easiest to measure: refrigeration excursions, shelf stockouts, pallet or display weight, foot traffic, or restricted-area motion.
Can data feed existing retail systems?
Yes. Supported HARDWARIO Cloud paths provide REST API, webhooks, and data export for partner-owned operations, supply-chain, analytics, or facilities applications.
Does this support multi-store rollout?
Yes. The same sensor and cloud model can be piloted in one location and then repeated across stores, warehouses, or store formats.
