Technology failure at a retail or franchise location is not a back-office problem. It is a revenue problem. When a POS system goes down because a broadband circuit failed, or staff at a remote location cannot reach headquarters because the phone system is unreliable, the operational and financial impact is immediate.
The Challenge
Multi-location retail and franchise organizations face a technology environment that compounds in complexity with every location added. Each market brings different carrier availability and pricing. Telecom invoices arrive from dozens of providers under contracts that have never been benchmarked against current market rates. Legacy phone systems at franchise locations are costly to maintain and inconsistent in performance.
