ActivePort SD-WAN rolls out the red carpet for Retail Chain
In collaboration with an ActivePort MSP Partner, learn about a recent SD-WAN customer success story for a leading Australian carpet retail chain with 29 stores around Australia.
Key Retail Customer Objectives:
- Centralise and simplify IT operations across 29 stores
- Gain more control and visibility across the network
- Reduce downtime and network outages
- Improve customer service and retention
Retail Network Challenges
A large retail group was experiencing a high volume of network outages at their head office and retail stores. These outages affected the ability to view stock levels and process orders, resulting in lost sales. Head office IT had no visibility of the network and were unaware when stores were having issues.
ActivePort SD-WAN Solution
ActivePort designed an SD-WAN solution with live failover to 4G, including ActivePortal reporting and event notifications. The ActivePort SD-WAN solution allows stores to continue trading while faults are fixed in the background. Completed configuration and implementation in three weeks.
