- In-store energy cap and CO₂ reporting
- Format standardisation across 10s–100s of sites
ColdMatch solutions
- CO₂ transcritical & propane self-contained cases
- Smart controls + remote monitoring across estate
- Modular cold rooms and dark-store fit-outs
Typical projects & capex

Frequently asked questions — Retail & QSR
Does ColdMatch help estates roll out new refrigerant technology?+
Yes — F-gas / Kigali-compliant CO₂ transcritical and propane self-contained refits are sourced across multi-site retail and QSR estates.
Can you handle 50+ store rollouts?+
Yes — multi-site programmes are structured as framework agreements with regional installation partners, with central monitoring and SLA reporting.
What's the payback on supermarket refrigeration upgrades?+
Typical payback is 3–6 years from combined energy savings, refrigerant compliance and lower maintenance. The ROI calculator can size your case.
Do dark stores need different refrigeration?+
Often yes — higher pick density and 24/7 operation favour modular cold rooms with redundant condensing and smart monitoring.
