For Supermarkets & Grocery Chains

EPA Refrigerant Compliance for
Supermarket Chains

Manage refrigeration compliance across 5, 50, or 500 stores. Forward contractor invoices → AI extracts refrigerant data → You approve in seconds. Always audit-ready for EPA inspections.

AI document processing • Built for multi-location operations

The Supermarket Refrigeration Compliance Challenge

You're responsible for EPA compliance across hundreds of locations—but have zero control over contractor documentation

Managing 15-30+ refrigeration units per store (walk-ins, reach-ins, display cases, ice machines)

Multiple contractors per location—HVAC specialists, refrigeration techs, ice machine service

Contractors send invoices in different formats: PDF, handwritten tickets, email, sometimes nothing

No visibility into which stores are approaching EPA leak thresholds

2026 regulation: 15-pound threshold means 2-3x more equipment now requires tracking

EPA fines for non-compliance multiplied across dozens or hundreds of stores

Regional managers can't see compliance status across their stores

One missed leak repair at one store can trigger EPA violations. At 50 stores, it's a statistical certainty without automated tracking.

Typical Supermarket Refrigeration Systems

Each store has 15-30+ units—all requiring EPA compliance tracking under the new 15-pound threshold

Walk-In Coolers & Freezers
Display Cases & Reach-Ins
Prep Area Refrigeration

Purpose-Built for Multi-Location Commercial Refrigeration

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI document processing work for contractor invoices?

Forward contractor emails to your dedicated RefriTrak address. Our AI extracts refrigerant data from PDFs, photos, and scanned documents—identifying which store, which equipment, refrigerant type and amount, and service details. You review a summary and approve in seconds.

What if contractors don't want to use the system?

They don't have to. Contractors continue emailing you invoices like always—you just forward those emails to RefriTrak. Alternatively, place QR codes on equipment so contractors can optionally scan and log service directly. Either way works.

How do we handle multiple contractors per store?

Add all contractors to your email whitelist. The system processes invoices from any authorized source—no limit on number of contractors. Each store can have different HVAC, refrigeration, and ice machine vendors.

Is this compliant with the new 15-pound threshold?

Yes. RefriTrak is fully updated for the January 1, 2026 regulation change. The system tracks all equipment with 15+ pounds of refrigerant, automatically calculates leak rates, and alerts you when repairs are required.

Can regional managers see all stores at once?

Absolutely. The multi-location dashboard shows all stores with color-coded compliance status. Filter by region or location. Click any store to drill down into specific units and service history.
