1 SAVE MONEY BY USING EFFICIENT OPERATING PROCEDURES The convenience store industry is constantly changing and evolving. With increasing government regulations, competition, and changing consumer buying patterns, convenience stores must be strategic about the way they invest in their business. Many convenience store businesses have to do more with fewer resources. departments are looking at ways to streamline their processes and efficiently and effectively use their resources. MIS SIO N R E A DY Accruent has extensive experience implementing maintenance management, asset management, remote monitoring, and project management solutions, as well as connecting those applications to diverse information systems. 1

2 MANAGE WORK ORDERS Managing cost is one of the most important components of running a convenience store business. Facilities and maintenance costs are often viewed as set cost. By taking an active role in your maintenance solution, you can have higher visibility into aspects of your business that can save you time and money. vx Maintain organizes many different types of work orders including PPM (Planned Preventative ), CPPM (Compliance Planned Preventative ), and ad hoc work orders. Warranties are an important part of saving money in your business. By keeping track of warranties per asset, you can track exactly what is under warranty, from entire machines down to its parts. vx Maintain can track down to the asset level to see exactly how many dollars have been put into equipment repairs, allowing you to make better repair/replace decisions. vx Maintain automatically checks for duplicate work orders. s cannot be sent for the same issue twice. If the contractor does not fix the issue the first time, the system will recall them to fix it without charging you. vx Maintain tracks items for you at the asset level, giving you in-depth visibility to the current estimated value of equipment, depreciation values, repair/replace thresholds, exact repairs and service performed, compliance records, and contractor work completed. ASSET OEM Warranty Extended Warranty Our contractor management function keeps track of important provider metrics, so you can better decide who should work on your equipment and which companies best serve your business.

3 MANAGE SITE COMPLIANCE Our solution suite combines all angles of compliance. We monitor for fuel compliance, EPA 608 compliance, and your utilities. Regulatory Agencies vx Sustain keeps your refrigerant compliant with EPA 608 regulations and CARB (California Air Resource Board) regulations. As regulations change we can adapt the system to your business needs, so you are always covered. Our enterprise refrigerant management system covers any piece of equipment that uses refrigerant, including compressors, condensing units, and HVAC. By using vx Maintain s compliance function we can handle your CPPM, PPM, and ad hoc compliance work orders. Our compliance module keeps track of all your documentation in one place, including event tracking, timing of work orders, and date frequency of CPPM and PPM work orders. If your business is audited or needs to prove compliance standards were met, everything will be there. vx Maintain allows for dynamic scheduling, meaning you can move a compliance work order closer to the anniversary date or complete it in advance and the system will recognize the new anniversary date. Utility Bill Processing (Pre-Pay or Post-Pay) aggregates utility bill information from all your locations across all providers and builds a normalized database accessible for analysis by energy analysts. GAIN VISIBILITY INTO YOUR MAINTENANCE Remote monitoring allows your business to play an active role in your assets without having to manually check in or give up valuable employee time. vx Observe continuously monitors assets for any important changes that could indicate that an asset is malfunctioning, failing, or working improperly. Emergency maintenance is expensive. You can pay for it in fees, downtime, unsold inventory, and more. With vx Observe monitoring your equipment, you can get small issues fixed right away, rather than worry about the breakdowns and the related expenses. Moving from reactive or preventative maintenance to prescriptive maintenance saves you time and money. Using reactive maintenance ensures that you aren t spending money on routine maintenance that isn t needed, or worse, paying for technicians to do emergency work. vx Observe can monitor gas pumps, car washes, HVAC, lighting and other convenience store-specific equipment to make sure your business is up and running. Remote monitoring allows your facilities team to make real-time decisions that translate to real return on investment, rather than waiting for problems to accumulate until you get the bill at the end of the month. 3
