Building automation is the use of sensors and controls to run equipment such as heating, cooling and lighting to a schedule, so no one on site has to switch anything. Vision iQ brings it to your existing sites without rewiring, and you manage the whole estate from one dashboard.
Operations
Building automation for operations teams
Keep every site to the same standard while your teams focus on customers.
The problem
Standards are hard to hold from head office
You can’t be at every site
Checking the settings at hundreds of sites yourself isn’t possible, so you rely on each manager to get them right on every shift, every day.
Managers have enough to do
Site managers are busy with customers. Checking heating, lights and fridges is one more job, and it’s the first thing to slip on a busy day.
Customers feel it first
If a site is too cold at opening or too hot during the evening rush, customers notice before you do, and you hear about it in reviews.
Vision iQ
One standard at every site with Vision iQ
Set the schedule once
You set opening and closing times from head office, and Vision iQ runs the heating, lights and AC at every site. Equipment comes on before opening and goes off after close, whoever’s on shift. You see every site’s settings in one place, without visiting a single one.
Off your managers’ list
Vision iQ takes the heating, lights and fridge checks off your managers’ list so they can focus on the customers. There’s no closing checklist to work through. If staff need to warm up a cold room, they can adjust it for a set time before it goes back to your standard.
Data that cuts cost and carbon
You get full visibility at every site, from energy use to fridge and room temperatures. Sense iQ alerts your central team when anything drifts out of range, so you can fix it before customers notice. The data shows where you're cutting costs and carbon across your sites.

Now we have a system in place that allows the team to work on what matters: food, service and our customers. It works in the background, controlling our AC, temperatures and extraction systems.

Vision iQ™ Savings Calculator
See how fast Vision iQ™ pays for itself
Tell us how your site runs in four short steps. In about two minutes, you'll have a personalised annual saving, payback period and five-year return. It's as simple as that.
Your Vision iQ™ saving estimate
This is an indicative estimate based on benchmark assumptions for your sector, not a guaranteed saving. Clearworld will validate the figure with half-hourly data and/or a site survey before any formal savings proposal.
The ROI assumes an indicative Vision iQ investment of per site plus per site per month, set against the expected saving shown.
How it works
Three steps to better performance across your estate
Try it on your own sites before you roll it out.
Step 01
Free data audit
Ask your energy team or supplier for your half-hourly data and send it to us. We’ll show you which sites run equipment outside trading hours.
Step 02
Pilot
We fit one or two sites out of hours, so they keep trading, and show you the results. Your site teams carry on as normal.
Step 03
Rollout
We roll out across the rest of your estate around your trading hours, at a pace that suits you. Our support bureau helps each site as it goes live.
FAQs
Property FAQs
What is building automation?
Will Vision iQ affect the customer experience?
No, Vision iQ won’t affect the customer experience. Our engineers fit the wireless controls out of hours, so sites keep trading. Once it’s live, Vision iQ keeps sites comfortable while you’re open and cuts the energy you waste when equipment runs without need.
Will site managers have to do anything?
No, site managers won’t have to do anything. Vision iQ runs in the background and sends alerts to your central team, so your managers keep their attention on customers and staff. If a site needs a different setting, our support bureau changes it without a visit.
Can Vision iQ help with restaurant operations management?
Yes, Vision iQ can help with restaurant operations management by taking the building side off your managers. It runs AC and extraction to your trading hours and monitors fridges and freezers around the clock, logging every reading for HACCP records and EHO visits.
How do we keep every site to the same standard?
You keep every site to the same standard by setting schedules from head office and applying them to one site or the whole estate. Vision iQ logs every change, and our support bureau can adjust settings when a site needs something different.
What support do we get after go-live?
After go-live, our support bureau looks after your sites. We can change settings, check equipment and fix most issues from our office, without sending anyone to site. We tailor support plans to each estate, and we can train your team to do the same.
