Today's business world requires consistent, reliable, and optimized Wi-Fi access for in-store and warehouse operations. This is vital in delivering seamless online-to-offline customer services such as click-and-collect, appointment-driven shopping, and home delivery. With experience-first networking, users are assured of coherent operations, optimal experiences, and increased revenues.
An integrated Wi-Fi network infrastructure is key to achieving maximum efficiency, productivity, and revenue. To achieve cohesive operations and experiences, coordination is necessary across WLAN, LAN, Data Centers, and security domains. With event correlation and Marvis actions, troubleshooting is made easy while dynamic packet capture (PCAP) eliminates truck rolls.
Experience-first networking means elevating your retail organization with location-based services and optimized warehouse operations. This boosts inventory tracking and reduces errors, creating seamless experiences for your shoppers. To make the most of these services, you need a strong network solution that predicts problems before they occur. This is particularly crucial during busy periods such as holidays to avoid network overload.
Part of delivering an experience-first networking approach to retail is prioritizing the needs of the operations team – and this is where network automation and optimization come in. By streamlining operators' experiences through better automation and increased AI, businesses can provide new retail apps and services, maintain user experience and security, and quickly address issues.
One significant advantage of automation is access to speedy cloud-hosted operations to swiftly resolve network issues. This gives users seamless availability without any downtime. This approach also automates network deployment, testing, and validation to decrease the possibility of costly human errors. This empowers businesses to simplify network planning, design, and operations while also boosting operational efficiency across multiple locations and departments.
With a stable network infrastructure and strong connectivity between stakeholders, this solution will truly aid your retail business.
