Squair at the 100+ Accelerator

We are proud to share our experience at the 100+ Accelerator. In 2024, we participated in the Brazilian edition and achieved incredible results in partnership with AMBEV CDD in Cubatão. With our energy monitoring solution and refrigerated asset control, we managed to reduce the consumption of refrigerated assets by 40%.

Currently, our solution is implemented in 10% of AMBEV’s distribution centers. With the support of the international 100+ Accelerator, we are moving forward to expand our presence throughout AMBEV’s operations by the end of the year.
