In retail, downtime and drift cost you at the register — store by store.
POS downtime is lost sales
Industry studies show POS and Wi-Fi outages directly cost revenue — an hour of downtime during peak can mean roughly $1,500–$3,000 in lost sales per store — yet most stores run a single circuit with no failover to keep payments flowing.
Connectivity across the footprint
Every location needs reliable connectivity plus guest WiFi, and managing it across many sites is a constant headache.
PCI is non-negotiable
Card data across every store raises PCI obligations that network segmentation must support.
Unknown copper lines
Most multi-site retailers pay for unused or forgotten POTS lines feeding alarms, elevators, and kiosks.
Energy & water add up
Lighting, HVAC, and signage across the footprint — plus water — are real costs rarely benchmarked.
Many locations, many bills
Dozens of locations mean dozens of invoices and contracts that no one audits as a whole.

Representative Scenario
What an audit can surface for a multi-store retailer.
An illustrative scenario built from industry context and supplier-documented performance — not a FreeTEM client result. The setup: a multi-store retailer on a single circuit per store, paying for unknown POTS lines, with energy and water left unaudited. Figures are attributed to their source, not promised.
$1.5–3K/hr
Industry-estimated revenue lost per hour of POS / Wi-Fi downtime during peak.
30–45%
Water reductions businesses typically see through ExactWater across their footprint — backed by a 120-day guarantee.

Cost to you — FreeTEM is funded by the suppliers you choose, not by your business.
Your actual results depend on your locations, contracts, and current rates — which is exactly what a free audit determines.
