Right-Fit Retail Networking Solutions
Our experts understand the complexities and challenges of today’s retail market and will partner with you to help you navigate them. We take the time to gather the necessary data and learn about your organization before devising a customized strategy.With Connection’s Retail Networking Solutions, we’ll satisfy your unique network infrastructure needs to help you compete for the future.
Enhance Your Network to Unlock Smart Store Capabilities
Even with ecommerce skyrocketing in 2020, it only accounted for 21.3 percent of all U.S. retail sales for the year—and a third of that came from Amazon.2The best way for retailers to compete with the ecommerce goliaths is to improve the in-store experience with smart store technology. A smart store leverages modern mobility, digital signage, and POS systems to create more digital touchpoints in stores to deliver the personalization and convenience shoppers want. But retailers can also dig deeper to unlock emerging technologies like AI/ML, virtual and augmented reality, edge computing, IoT, and big data that create more opportunities to engage customers in real time.
Implementing these types of initiatives will be a waste of your resources and budget, however, without a network infrastructure that can support them. That’s why you need to enhance your network now and partner with a trusted team of IT experts who can ensure your new and existing technologies can integrate without disruption.
Connection’s Retail Networking Solutions are ideal for SMB and enterprise convenience stores, specialty retailers, and quick service restaurants (QSRs).
Like all of Connection’s services, our Retail Networking Solutions are customizable to your needs. You can pick and choose the specific services and scope you need to upgrade your infrastructure.
