Sprouts Farmers Markets taps Verisae for improved operations and lowered facility costs

Minneapolis -- Sprouts Farmers Market has installed enterprise asset management software from Verisae to support the company’s aggressive growth strategy.



The grocery retailer, which recently acquired Sunflower Farmers Market, recently implemented core modules of the Verisae connected facility platform; enterprise asset management (EAM), enterprise refrigerant management (ERM) and enterprise asset purchasing (EAP) solutions.



“Sprouts has had a long, successful history of sustainability, from energy conservation to industry leading low refrigerant leak rates,” said Jerry Stutler, VP construction and facility engineering for Sprouts, which operates more than 140 supermarkets in eight southwestern state. “But we recognized, especially as we grow through acquisition, that we can do more to streamline our maintenance, energy and refrigerant management processes. Adopting Verisae’s platform was the logical next step, and it’s already producing results.”



With Verisae, Sprouts will aggregate and analyze data on the entire lifecycle of their assets including equipment procurement, parts and inventory tracking, remote monitoring of asset efficiency and management of third-party service contractors.



The software also will help Sprouts provide the foundation to create connected facilities that reduce operational costs and a more sustainable organization, and also to comply with the stringent EPA regulations, according to Verisae. The EPA requires every organization that uses refrigerants as part of its operation to be fully compliant with Section 608 of the Clean Air Act.
