What's important
We work hard to minimise the impact on trading in all situations.
Retailers must be able to keep continue trading when having a technology refresh project rolled out in-store.
For your peace of mind, we are able to minimise any disruption within your stores by supplying a Cradlepoint device from the leaders in 4G failover. Should any issues arise with no telco line, network failure or any other issue, we ensure you're still able to trade.
In need of a technology change in-store?
Once we have fully understood the specification of your new technology IT upgrade, our leading project team plan the implementation phase. After this, they prepare installation procedures, build instructions and sign-off documentation.
This includes formal feedback procedures (reporting, conference calls and meetings) as well as collaboration mechanisms for any third parties involved.
The goal is to provide a seamless technology rollout with minimal disruption to current trading on time and within budget.
