Retail Operations Require Continuous Connectivity
24/7 Internet Connectivity In Retail is Crucial To Business Operations
In today’s digital landscape, the line between a traditional brick-and-mortar store and an eCommerce store have been blurred. With every store requiring 24/7 internet connectivity to run their POS systems, kiosks, and signage, there are very few establishments that aren’t reliant on the Internet. And with so many retail stores operating both online and brick-and-mortar shops, constant connectivity to control inventory, shipping, and other functions is even more critical.
In addition to running the day-to-day operations of the store, business owners are also likely to have security systems installed that require a reliable internet connection to ensure 24/7 visibility.
LTE Can Provide Primary or Backup Connectivity
For retailers, every second of downtime equates to lost revenue.
A line of customers waiting to check out isn’t going to tolerate more than a few minutes for the POS to come back online. Manually processing inventory due to lost synchronization between systems may result in more man-hours spent and, therefore, higher payroll costs.
Whether it’s an outage caused by Mother Nature, the ISP, or simply a difficult store layout with low signal areas where you need them most, a backup LTE network can eliminate the frustration of lost connectivity.
By implementing an LTE-backed network, retail stores will have the option to use the robust, seemingly omnipresent cellular networks as either a failover connection or their primary means of access.
