Several hundred locations, analyzed in 4 to 8 weeks. The annual savings potential is quantified and documented per location and per measure. Everything runs on existing metering infrastructure, completely without new hardware. We validate the exact magnitude together in a pilot. In Euros, not in promises.
Traditional systems stop at the alarm. Gridty takes it all the way to the solution.

Root Cause: Refrigeration system in the Cologne-South branch continues to run at daytime levels at night – approximately 9,000 kWh and about €2,700 in additional costs per year, at this location alone.
Recommended Action: Activate night setback in the refrigeration control unit, link the timer to actual opening hours, and close the night blinds of the refrigerated display cases. No investment required, completed by your own team in one shift.
1
Hidden excess consumption becomes visible across your entire portfolio. In real-time, instead of only on the bill.
2
The Detector identifies the most probable root cause with model confidence and suggests specific actions, from night setback to addressing an iced-up refrigerated display case.
3
Your team receives the prioritized next step: which location, which action, which cost-saving lever.
Ovens, proofers, and refrigerators operate within tight timeframes with high peak loads. Gridty detects preheating waste, ovens running in parallel, and cooling inefficiencies, distinguishing genuine production needs from avoidable excess consumption.
Freezers, hot counters, and air conditioning operate 24/7, often within franchise structures where no one centrally compares the performance of different locations. Gridty performs precisely this comparison: identifying which shop deviates, why, and what the corrective action achieves.
„Our refrigeration system consumed 30–40,000 kWh too much electricity. No one noticed for a whole year.“
Here's what the next steps look like
Phase 1
Connection to your meters, your EMS, or other energy data systems.
Phase 2
Stable data flow, AI learns your consumption patterns. First cooling anomalies become visible with historical data.
Phase 3
Prioritized action list per location, with financial impact.
Phase 4
Complete overview of each location. You decide the next steps.
The cost for your pilot project depends on the number of your locations. No long-term commitment.
