Case Study: Large Discount Retailer achieves $1.7M/year savings and guaranteed on-time mission-critical data delivery with Axway SecureTransport and Managed Cloud

Discount retailer delivers data to partners on time, every time

A large North American discount retailer that sells groceries, beauty, appliances and homeware needed to guarantee dependable, on-time delivery of massive volumes of sensitive, mission-critical data — from payroll and payment files to supplier orders and invoices. Fragmented point-to-point systems, FTP servers and manual processes consumed over 210 person-hours per week, raised error and stock-out risk, and threatened costly bank penalties for late payment files.

The retailer implemented Axway SecureTransport in the Axway Managed Cloud, centralizing MFT with automation, a high-availability gateway and real‑time operational intelligence. The change delivered $1.7M in annual productivity savings, saved about seven person-hours per employee per week in inventory control, enabled secure, reliable transfer of files larger than 3 GB, and reduced the risk of delays, penalties and data loss.
