As an IT manager in retail, you know how fast the sector is changing. From omnichannel strategies to Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL), digital innovations are emerging in quick seccession. Without a solid digital infrastructure, you will get nowhere. You need a network that is as flexible and scalable as your ambitions.

Continuity and security as the foundation of your digital strategy

Retail runs 24/7. Every minute of downtime costs turnover and customer confidence. That is why service continuity is crucial. You want to be sure that your network can withstand DDoS attacks and other forms of cybercrime. A modern digital strategy starts with an infrastructure that protects your organisation and keeps it up and running.

Smarter chains, faster processes

Successful retailers optimise their entire value chain. From inventory management to customer interaction: automation makes all the difference. Think of applications such as ESL, which allow you to adjust prices in real time. But also smart POS systems, predictive analytics and automated logistics. Everything depends on a network that seamlessly supports these processes.

Data and connectivity: the engine of your shop floor

A smart data infrastructure is essential for an optimal customer experience as well as efficient operations. SD-WAN technology connects branches flexibly and securely to your central systems and the cloud. Problems in the network are detected and solved faster, often without anyone having to physically travel to a branch. This is important because branch managers or employees usually do not have the technical knowledge to solve network problems on their own. Technology should relieve them, not burden them.

Safely connected to the cloud

More and more retail applications are running in the cloud. Think of POS systems, customer data, stock management and analytics. A secure and fast connection between your customer locations and the cloud is not a luxury, but a necessity. With solutions such as Secure Cloud Connect or cloud peering, you ensure direct, reliable connections with your cloud providers, without detours via the public internet.
