Case Study: Global Retailing Company eliminates costly media shipping and saves $7.5M annually with 1E Nomad

Global Retailer eliminates costly shipping campaign using Nomad

A global retail corporation with more than 11,000 stores across 28 countries struggled to manage software distributions and imaging for some 200,000 remote and in-store PCs. The highly distributed environment relied on costly, time-consuming CD shipping and a large array of site-specific distribution points, creating thousands of individual network links, massive management overhead and roughly 40,000 manual man-hours per year.

By deploying 1E Nomad’s automated, peer‑to‑peer software and image delivery across 200,000 endpoints, the retailer eliminated global media shipping, removed over 250 distribution points (including ~100 dedicated servers), and cut 40,000 manual hours. The rollout improved patch and OS compliance, maintained security and reliability at scale, and delivered total annual savings of more than $7.5M (including an estimated $6M avoided shipping campaign).
