Customer Challenge:
The client, a public grocery store chain with 150+ locations, had little control and oversight into their energy budgets. The corporate tolerance for risk was misaligned with their energy procurement strategy. When the market became volatile, the grocery store chain was exposed and over budget.

Stark Solution:
The client needed a solution that allowed them to fully understand their risk exposure and budgetary implications. Using Stark’s proprietary software, ControlFreak, Stark’s Intelligence team conducted a no-cost evaluation of the customer’s building portfolio to analyze its energy consumption and uncover any potential operational-related issues. This allowed them to develop a purchasing strategy that aligned the customers corporate goals with their energy procurement strategy.

Results:
The Stark Intelligence team utilized ControlFreak to provide the grocery store chain with accurate cost projections. Therefore, the client gained control over their energy budget and cash management process and improved their asset utilization.

This client also benefits from Stark’s Commodity Advisors, who consult on upcoming market changes and support procurement strategy implementation.
