IT for retail

In store only one thing counts: it has to work the moment a customer is at the till. We set up store and branch IT so that faults are rare and quickly fixed, and so payment traffic and customer data stay separate from the rest.

In short
  • Point-of-sale and stock systems that keep working, even during an internet outage, with 5G failover.
  • Network segmentation: till and payment traffic separate from office, staff wifi and guest wifi.
  • Management across multiple stores from one environment, with the same setup at every location.
  • Workplaces for office and shop floor, including fast rollout when a new store opens.
  • Camera security and access control connected to the network we manage.

What is different here

Where retail IT gets stuck

Downtime costs revenue immediately

A till that stops is a queue that stops moving. So we advise redundant connections with automatic failover and equipment you can swap out quickly yourself.

Keeping payment traffic separate

Card terminals and point-of-sale systems belong in their own network segment. That limits risk and makes questions from your payment provider easy to answer.

Wifi that can handle the store

Coverage is measured, not estimated: shelving, refrigeration and concrete walls change the picture. Guest wifi is separate from anything touching company data.

Changing staff

High turnover means many accounts. We handle on- and offboarding with fixed role profiles, so permissions are right and departed staff keep no access.

Multiple stores

Every location gets the same setup. Opening a new store then means rolling out to a fixed pattern instead of improvising.

Customer data

Loyalty programmes and webshops process personal data. We provide the access management, backup and logging that belong with it.

Frequently asked questions

Can you manage our point-of-sale system?

We handle the network, the workplaces and the peripherals around it. For the POS software itself we work with your supplier; we make sure the environment underneath is right.

What happens if the internet connection fails?

With 5G failover the store switches over automatically, so card payments and tills keep running. We work out with you whether that is worth the investment.

Do we need a separate contract per store?

No. You take workplaces individually and stores fall under the same terms. Growth or closure adjusts monthly.

Do you do camera security too?

Yes, with Hikvision cameras, connected to the network we manage.
