Now that the new cellular network is installed, stores have a backup option to allow internet connectivity, and the system also provides Mirabito with regular metrics and reports.
“Previously, we would average three to four sites being down for a total of four hours per week. With the new system, we may have one store down every other week for five minutes. This is a huge reduction in lost connectivity,” Bunts said. “Additionally, the system creates reports that allow us to evaluate and proactively resolve any issues. When dealing with metered data, the metrics are just as important as operations, and this solution gives us real-time data.”
