Savers, the largest for-profit thrift store chain in North America, partnered with Extreme Networks to modernize its wireless network infrastructure, enhancing operational efficiency and customer engagement across over 300 retail locations in the US, Canada, and Australia
THE CHALLENGE
As Savers expanded its operations globally, including the addition of new facilities and a call center, the company faced the challenge of modernizing its network infrastructure. The existing WAN-dependent system was inadequate for the growing need for mobility, flexibility, and continuous store operations. Savers required a future-proof Wi-Fi solution that was easy to install, manage, and scale, enabling better customer interaction and streamlined internal operations
THE SOLUTION
Savers adopted Extreme Networks’ solutions, including ExtremeCloud™ IQ on AWS, ExtremeWireless™, and ExtremeSwitching™, to overhaul its wireless network across all retail and corporate locations. The new infrastructure supports mobile operations, enabling Savers to enhance inventory management and corporate processes. ExtremeCloud IQ’s intuitive management tools allow Savers’ IT team to oversee the network remotely, ensuring secure and efficient operations while providing the flexibility needed for future growth
MODERNIZED NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
With the implementation of Extreme Networks’ wireless solutions, Savers has significantly improved operational efficiency and productivity. The modernized network infrastructure not only supports the company’s unique inventory management processes but also positions Savers to leverage advanced technologies like Bluetooth for enhanced analytics and in-store insights
