RusHOLTS company has launched in operation its Center for remote monitoring of the gas stations process equipment. The first phase of the project involved the commissioning of coffee machines remote monitoring for some 1140 customers’ gas stations. As of now one can oversee the operation of each machine in real time, regardless of its location. Thus, a visualization of BMS Coffee Control  IT solution took place.

BMS Coffee Control System is designed for remote management of an unlimited number of coffee machines’ configuration, on-line monitoring of their technical condition, remote collection of all operational and statistical data in order to avoid risks of abuse and/or unskilled actions by gas stations personnel and service engineers.

Coffee machines remote monitoring allows doubling the sales of coffee drinks. In monetary terms, it turns out that due to the lack of a reliable accounting of coffee sales filling stations’ "give away" to the employees some 2-3 billion rubles a year, meanwhile the overall "generosity" of  all Russian public catering establishments in this respect is not less than 25 billion rubles a year.

In addition, remote monitoring helps to achieve major savings on machines’ servicing. Downtime is 3 times shorter as compared to the "traditional" system of service and the number of service technicians visits paid by the network of filling stations is 50% reduced.

During 2014-2015, BMS Coffee Control software solution has been implemented in major Russian gas stations network with more than 900 units country-wide. Such a large-scale project required  the development of several specialized user interfaces for management and reporting. Technical equipment of Center allows tracking the work of each coffee machine in Russian Federation online.

"Data visualization is a very important point in the management of any complex object. On the map you can choose any station, get coffee drinks sales statistics in the period of time which is less than 5 minutes, - says Alexander Kuzmin, RusHOLTS CEO. We can see peak load in each region and for each station. RusHOLTS Company continues to work on the unification of all data relating to non-fuel business of gas stations in a cloud. The BMS allows you to control all the technological equipment in restaurants and shops, to monitor the location of personnel, to organize non-contact access to the station".

As the next step in this project’s development RusHOLTS plans to unfold the remote monitoring of gas stations’ refrigeration equipment.
