Canac Selects UgoWork to Power Its New Drummondville, Que. Distribution Centre
The system combines batteries, chargers and software to simplify charging, cut manual tasks and provide real-time fleet monitoring.
- On Thursday, September 10, 2026, Canac deployed UgoWork's lithium-ion energy management system at its Drummondville, Quebec distribution center. The system integrates battery, charger, and software into one platform designed to support the facility's productivity and operational efficiency.
- This deployment supports Canac's broader expansion, including a new 625,000 sq. building at the Drummondville campus and its 37th branch in Magog, which opened in June 2026. The retailer plans to inaugurate a 38th branch in Anjou in 2027, aligning with its growth vision.
- Through the UgoPilot platform, the system shifts fleet monitoring from reactive maintenance to continuous cloud-based tracking. This simplifies charging and reduces manual tasks, providing real-time visibility into material handling performance across the distribution center.
- Canac Director of Fleet and Delivery Raphaële Dumont cited local sourcing and transparency as key selection factors. "Seeing it perform firsthand... gave us the confidence to move forward," Dumont said, noting the partnership provides clear data on fleet performance.
- Nearly 150 years after its founding, Canac views this collaboration as a multi-year journey to reduce its carbon footprint. The partnership establishes a foundation for operational efficiency, supporting the retailer's future growth across Quebec and North America.
