Solutions for Grocery Stores
Manage Grocery Store Construction from Plan to Grand Opening
Grocery store buildouts are among the most complex in retail: refrigeration systems, extensive back-of-house infrastructure, and massive floor plans. RolloutIQ™ brings order to every phase of grocery construction.
The Challenge
Where grocery construction gets complicated
Refrigeration System Complexity
Walk-in coolers, freezer cases, and rack refrigeration are dominated by the Hillphoenix and Hussmann duopoly that runs design-assist from the CD phase. Poor coordination between GC and refrigeration vendor is a frequent rework driver for slab slopes, drain locations, and electrical panel placement.
Large-Format Coordination
Grocery builds coordinate dozens of subcontractors across bakery, deli, produce, meat, and dairy departments in parallel. EPA Section 608 certification is required for refrigeration technicians, and that requirement carries into the FM contract post-opening.
Food Safety Compliance
Health department requirements, USDA compliance, and temperature monitoring systems must be verified and documented before any department can receive product. Documentation gaps caught at the final health inspection translate directly to delayed grand opening.
Cold-Chain Commissioning Window
Refrigeration cases, bakery ovens, and deli equipment are ordered months ahead, and cold-chain commissioning has to finish in a short window before merchandise loads. From January 1, 2027, EPA requires new supermarket systems to use refrigerant with a global warming potential under 1,400, so an install that slips past that date can force a re-spec.
Platform Features
Built for Grocery Store Development
RolloutIQ™ gives grocery retailers one place to run large-format buildouts department by department, long-lead equipment included.
Department-Level Tracking
Produce, bakery, deli, and the rest each get owned deliverables on the master timeline, and you can narrow it to one trade or one person.
Long-Lead Equipment
Refrigeration and other long-lead equipment carry the ship date the vendor gave you, and Sourcing runs the bids whose awards feed the budget.
Pre-Opening Department Walks
Each department gets its own pre-opening walk from a template with pass or fail criteria, and the health department sign-off has its own date on the schedule.
Budgets by Cost Category
Build each budget from your own cost categories and see how far every store's revised number has moved from the approved one, change orders included.
Single Source of Truth
One source of truth for your Grocery Stores portfolio
As your Grocery Stores footprint grows across sites, the same store ends up spread across separate spreadsheets and point tools, and the numbers drift apart. RolloutIQ™ keeps one durable record per store from the first deal through opening day, so your Grocery Stores rollout runs on one set of numbers every team can trust across the whole multi-site portfolio.
