To our friends in the grocery industry:
With great pride, I introduce you to our first annual ServiceChannel Grocery Industry Benchmark Report. These benchmarks are informed by $1.75 billion in 2020 spend on the ServiceChannel platform by U.S. grocery operators.
This report highlights the key metrics used by leaders from Facilities, Real Estate, Procurement, and Finance to assess the performance and cost effectiveness of their facilities programs. With the pressure on profit margins in the grocery industry, every dollar spent on physical assets matters. Plus, with the ever growing variety of departments and consumer offerings, the reliability of assets and the quality of the customer experience matters more each year.
We’ve heard again and again from customers asking us how they are doing compared to their peers, and this is the first step in our answer. In addition to this report, we are introducing new benchmarking solutions that will allow you to directly compare your own KPIs to industry peers, in real-time.
We want to hear from you. I invite you to share your questions and feedback, because we believe progress is built on partnership.
– Tom Buiocchi, CEO, ServiceChannel Inc.

- Brand standards
- Service provider quality and geography
- Asset intensity, suppliers, age, and condition
- Maintenance program investments
- Facility format, age, and landlord responsibilities
The refrigeration trade weighs heaviest on budgets, accounting for one third of R&M spend. Grocery stores hold vast inventory of cold and frozen food, and maintaining the cold chain is critical for food safety and customer trust. Spend on HVAC comes in second and is critical for a comfortable customer experience. Kitchen equipment is increasingly important, as in-store restaurants, delis, and bakeries draw customers with prepared food and ready-to-eat meals.

While the average location completes 36 refrigeration repairs per year, brands with more extensive assets complete over twice this rate. Labor makes up more than half the cost, and the strongest lever for savings is selecting providers that complete repairs faster with less labor time.
Almost half of repairs are emergencies, requiring response time of less than 8 hours. These are critical to resolve quickly to avoid food product loss and safety risk.

The average invoice for refrigeration preventive maintenance costs $1,512 and covers multiple assets.
The goals of refrigeration maintenance are to avoid disruptive operational failures, increase energy efficiency, prevent refrigerant leaks, and extend asset lifetime.
Brands typically schedule monthly or quarterly maintenance, with this service accounting for 11% of refrigeration spend.

We use a wide range of cost, quality, and speed metrics to measure what matters most. This data enables us to recommend the best providers available for each of your locations.
In the example below, we compare the top vs. bottom grocery refrigeration providers on cost, speed, and quality.

The median invoice represents the typical cost for work. Half the invoices are higher than the median, and half are lower. In the past, the only cost metric available was hourly labor rate, but it can be misleading. Our invoice data shows that the most cost-effective providers often have higher rates, but they take fewer hours to get the job done.
In the refrigeration trade, the top quartile (25%) of providers cost 39% less than the bottom quartile. Faster providers resolve issues 6.3 days sooner than slower ones, so you can avoid losing revenue. Quality providers complete the job on the first visit twice as often, which means fewer repeat trips and lower travel charges. Overall, top providers use skilled technicians who work faster and charge less labor time, which leads to lower cost and quicker resolution.

For brands starting with bottom performers, the savings from upgrading are even larger, at 30%. For a chain with 100 locations, this amounts to recurring savings of $2.4 million per year.
Beyond saving on repairs, top providers can reduce maintenance and capex costs, as well.

These critical assets also require a large share of operating expenses to power, repair, and maintain.
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_code disabled_on=”on|on|off” admin_label=”Spacer-noshow mobile” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”]The highest repair costs are for HVAC units and the parallel rack compressors that drive central refrigeration systems.
Grocers that track their revenue-generating assets in ServiceChannel have granular visibility into the performance and cost of each unit, so they can prioritize capital investments and improve uptime proactively.
Below we take a deeper look into the key metrics for racks, which are vital to store operations.
Emergency repairs to refrigeration racks are typically completed in one day, which minimizes loss of product and revenue.
Since racks are critical for safely storing food, it’s important to avoid failures and resolve repairs as soon as possible.
Central rack systems can contain over 1,500 pounds of refrigerant, and the HFC type is under increasing regulatory scrutiny due to its global warming effects. Brands use ServiceChannel’s refrigerant tracking capability to monitor their equipment for leaks, improve sustainability, and comply with government regulations.
Warranties are commonly 12 months in length. To avoid unnecessary out-of-pocket costs, asset repairs can be automatically routed to the warranty provider.
By analyzing the frequency of repairs and comparing the total spend on an asset to its remaining useful life and replacement cost, brands make data-driven replacement decisions and maximize the ROI of their capital investments.
This same asset reliability data is then used for procurement to select reliable manufacturers with low operating costs.

Consider these questions about your asset management strategy.
- Which assets are costing us the most for repairs and maintenance?
- What data do we use to make proactive decisions about asset replacement?
- Which assets are most critical for our customer experience, and what does our data say about their reliability?

Where do you spend more than your industry peers? Where do you spend less? Do you know why?
The key to optimizing your facilities program is taking a data-driven approach to managing your spend, assets, and providers. The grocery brands on ServiceChannel use the key metrics in this report to make better decisions every day.
5 out of the top 10 grocers in the U.S. rely on ServiceChannel.
Here are 3 reasons why:
Saving 15%–25% on annual facilities costs. Grocers source the most cost-effective providers based on our marketplace data, and they hold providers accountable for cost and quality by tracking detailed performance and invoice data.
Reducing critical asset downtime by 25–40%. Grocers avoid tens of millions in lost sales by better maintaining revenue-generating equipment and accelerating repair time.
Letting Operations focus on operations. Grocers report dramatic reductions in time spent by store managers and associates on equipment, facilities, and provider issues, so they can focus on customers instead.
