Case Study: Seamless Connectivity Solutions for Expanding Retail Chains
Client Profile: A national retail chain expanding rapidly, opening new stores across multiple regions, faced challenges related to connectivity and secure access management. As their rollout strategy included sites in both urban and rural areas, many of the locations experienced delays in securing reliable internet and communications infrastructure. This delay risked essential operations such as payment processing, access control, and site security.
Challenges: Retailers in the process of opening new premises often encounter connectivity hurdles. Whether due to delays in installing broadband or interruptions caused by construction and roadworks or utility disruptions, the lack of internet at launch can hinder critical business functions. Payment systems, customer Wi-Fi, and even internal security features like CCTV monitoring can be rendered ineffective without stable access to the network. Further complications arise in managing access for staff across multiple locations, especially when managing turnover or controlling who can enter the premises.
In this case, the retail chain also needed a solution that would allow their security systems, including network-based CCTV, to function from day one, without dependency on unreliable or delayed broadband and leased line services. Moreover, they required distributed control over building access, ensuring only authorised personnel could enter new sites as they launched.
