Power Outages and Inventory Protection: How Asset Simple Keeps Your Inventory Safe

Power outages are a major threat to businesses that rely on perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, or any temperature-sensitive inventory. One unexpected outage can cause thousands of dollars in damage, leaving businesses with spoiled products and frustrated customers. When the power goes out, refrigeration systems, heating systems, and cooling systems stop working. Asset Simple offers a powerful solution to protect your inventory before disaster strikes. Our system ensures you are alerted immediately when power fails.

The Impact of Power Outages on Inventory

Power outages can devastate industries like food service, healthcare, and manufacturing, causing major operational and financial setbacks. Grocery stores and restaurants lose frozen and refrigerated foods within hours, leading to huge waste and lost revenue. Pharmacies and hospitals risk losing essential medicines and vaccines, putting patient safety and compliance at risk. Meanwhile, manufacturers face the loss of sensitive materials that depend on tightly controlled environments to maintain quality and safety.

When inventory spoils, businesses face serious consequences. You risk losing revenue and damaging customer trust and loyalty. If you are unaware that the inventory reached a higher temperature than is safe, and then goes back down when the power comes back on, it can result in even more damage, potentially fatal. Regulatory fines and penalties can add even more financial strain. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, power outages cost the U.S. economy $150 billion each year.
