The Challenge

Challenges in Retail & Multi-Site.

Multi-Vendor Coordination

12+ vendorsRetail IT Survey

Most multi-site retailers juggle a dozen or more regional subcontractors for low voltage work, creating inconsistent quality, fragmented documentation, and project management overhead that consumes your IT team's bandwidth instead of driving strategic initiatives.

Inconsistent Store Experience

34%Retail CX Study

More than a third of retail locations report technology inconsistencies that directly impact the in-store brand experience — from WiFi dead zones in fitting rooms to POS terminals dropping transactions during peak hours due to substandard cabling.

Deployment Delays

6.2 weeks avgPMI Retail

The average multi-site technology rollout runs over six weeks behind schedule, costing retailers revenue from delayed digital signage launches, POS upgrades, and guest WiFi activations that directly affect customer conversion rates.

Poor Documentation

58%Field Service Data

Nearly six in ten retail locations lack accurate as-built documentation from their last infrastructure project, turning every Day 2 service call into an expensive discovery exercise and extending mean time to repair by hours.
