Case Study: Sealanes achieves faster, paperless warehouse order fulfillment and centralized cloud management with Cisco Meraki

Finding new efficiencies in food services through mobility and next-generation network

Sealanes, a Western Australia–based food services and logistics company operating across four sites, faced the challenge of running reliable, mobile-enabled warehouse operations with a small three-person IT team. They turned to Cisco Meraki’s cloud-managed full stack—Systems Manager (MDM), MR access points, MX security appliances, and MS switches—to replace legacy equipment, lock down mobile devices, and gain centralized visibility and control.

Cisco Meraki delivered a plug-and-play deployment with preconfigured APs, an MX for load balancing, eight MS switches, and Systems Manager single‑app mode to lock warehouse iPads and iPods to the picking app. The dashboard lets IT push policies in seconds and remotely troubleshoot from anywhere; the solution supports 50+ concurrent devices, enables handling up to 2,000 orders per week, eliminated paper processes, and produced measurable time and cost savings across Sealanes’ warehouses.
