Shifting data in real-time between its headquarters and vast network of stores was at the heart of the Specialty Fashion Group’s (SFG) decision to upgrade their communications setup.
With a robust AAPT IP VPN solution, SFG not only achieved their aim, they also experienced a rapid improvement in their overall efficiency and productivity.
What was done?
SFG required a solution that could improve the delivery of their operational information and stakeholder communication. Their current infrastructure – a tedious dial-up modem setup – was severely hampering the distribution of integral data such as sales and stock information. To improve communication channels and enable real-time processing, AAPT installed an IP Virtual Private Network using ADSL 1 and ADSL 2 links with Cisco routers.
The result?
- A comprehensive management solution that will ensure SFG’s network is always working at an optimum level
- A seamless link between SFG’s stores and it’s customer databases
- A value-for-money pricing model which has a fixed cost for each store connected, regardless of location
- A Trans-Tasman link between SFG’s network of stores across Australia and New Zealand
- A superior level of support 24*7*365 with AAPT highly trained and experienced staff.
