Retail
One of the keys to understanding what works in business is to have complete visibility into what is happening at all points in the many processes involved in any sales transactions. That involves building fast networks that can transmit vast amounts of data reliably in realtime, covering everything from inventory control to predictive behaviour analysis.
Retail is differentiated from other use cases for several reasons. Geographical spread is given and can easily reach beyond the regional to the national and international, while divergent types of facility also need to be accommodated. Warehouse installations, for example, require different solutions to those at point of sale, both in terms of adapting to their physical environments and the use cases they are put to . As ever, experience in designing and advising on company-wide installations which can factor in all these differentials is a critical factor for success.
