Beacon announced in early 2009 the first engagement with this nationwide Fortune 100 company to design prototypical ITS infrastructure for its grocery store chain. The results of the initial contract evolved into Beacon writing a Corporate Standards document which standardizes the design, installation and management of the ITS infrastructure of not only the client's grocery stores, but additional facilities as well. In addition to the grocery stores, Beacon has more recently been engaged to provide similar ITS services in facilities ranging from manufacturing and processing to regional distribution and logistics centers and administrative offices.
In slightly over 20 months, Beacon has performed ITS infrastructure services for approximately 250 of this client's locations. During the first 8 months of the engagement, Beacon provided services for 75 locations averaging 9 sites per month. During the most recent 12 months, Beacon provided services for 175 locations averaging 14 sites per month, representing an increase of 56 percent in average monthly service volume. The client has more than 3,000 locations throughout the United States. Beacon provides a wide variety of professional services including ITS assessment, design / engineering, installation, quality assurance reviews and reporting services. With such a wide variety of facility types over a large geographic area, Beacon clients such as this are finding the implementation of ITS infrastructure standardization results in cost containment and improvements in efficiency throughout the enterprise.
"As companies across the globe consolidate and find ways to lower costs, many are looking to Beacon to outsource their ITS infrastructure requirements," said Bruce Widener, CEO of Beacon. "This client has utilized Beacon's ITS professional services to implement a documented, consistent and scalable ITS strategy for their various facilities nationwide. We look forward to working with them in their remaining locations and as they continue to build new stores and support facilities."
