! | When the Network Gets Stuck in a Queue
Branch operations, site connectivity, and digital services can quickly reach their limits. These are the most common challenges in branch networking:

Unstable store networks slow down retail operations
Connections prone to disruption lead to outages in checkout systems, payment processing, and digital services in-store, and disrupt overall store operations across a multi-site network.

Growing cybersecurity risks in connected retail
Guest Wi-Fi, IoT devices, and connected systems increase the attack surface of retail network infrastructure, making retail networks without modern security solutions more vulnerable.

Complex branch networks without central control
Heterogeneous systems complicate branch management and quickly become difficult to manage, whereas centralized network solutions and managed connectivity simplify the organization and operation of the retail network.

Scaling to New Locations Becomes a Challenge
New branches require fast and efficient connectivity without interrupting or disrupting ongoing operations. However, without standardized rollout processes and cloud architectures, integration and deployment are time-consuming and prone to errors.

Rollouts in record time: hundreds of stores automatically connected to the network
nocware enables the highly automated deployment of managed network services in the retail sector and significantly reduces the time required to bring new locations online through automated processes. This enables even large branch networks in grocery retail, wholesale, or fashion retail to be up and running in no time.
Intelligent SD-WAN for reliable cash register and POS systems
An intelligent SD-WAN in the retail network combines and dynamically manages broadband and mobile connections. Automated failover, prioritization of business-critical applications, 4G/5G backup connectivity, and hardware redundancy ensure high availability across branch operations, stable POS systems, and optimized bandwidth management.
In-house NOC: resolving issues before the cash register stops working
SASE & segmentation: secure data from POS to guest Wi-Fi
Vendor-independent growth: from store to branch network
Our Managed Network and Security Services enable flexible expansion of retail connectivity and location connections without being tied to a specific vendor. This allows retail store management structures to grow dynamically at any time, and new access points, switches, or IoT devices to be easily integrated.
Full-service operation of your store network with complete transparency
Migration of a Global Network to Modernize the Network Infrastructure
Our joint project with Telekom demonstrates how critical network and security infrastructure can be implemented for one of the world’s largest aviation groups: a secure, high-availability network infrastructure that reliably connects numerous international sites.
