Manage your store network maintenance as a strategic asset

Commercial refrigeration, AC, elevators, registers, lighting, automatic doors: across dozens or hundreds of stores, an unanticipated failure isn't just a technical problem — it's a lost sale and a customer who won't return. MAINTEX centralizes and anticipates.

Network dispersion: multi-store coordination

Dozens, hundreds or thousands of scattered stores, each with its lease, equipment, local constraints, providers. Without a centralized tool, management becomes impossible.

  • Stores by dozens/hundreds
  • Different equipment per site
  • Multiple local providers
  • Scattered management

Direct impact on customer experience: breakdown = lost sales

A broken refrigerated display means a closed aisle and discarded products. HVAC down in summer, a stopped escalator: measurable commercial losses with every incident.

  • Closed aisles, lost products
  • Average basket impacted
  • Customer lost to competition
  • Local reputation weakened

External providers: coordination, quality, costs

Refrigeration, HVAC, lighting, elevators, security specialists: retail maintenance relies heavily on external providers to coordinate across the entire network.

  • Multi-specialty per site
  • Contractual SLAs to track
  • Opaque costs without tool
  • Uneven quality by region

Network maintenance budget optimization

Several million euros annually spread across the network, with unexplained gaps between stores. Without consolidated visibility, optimization is impossible.

  • Significant annual budgets
  • Unequal gaps between sites
  • Explosive emergency costs
  • Demanding financial reporting

“We manage 320+ stores. Before MAINTEX, each incident generated a flow of disorganized emails and sometimes duplicated interventions. Today, single network view — and maintenance costs down.”
