Case Study: Capital S.M.A.R.T Repairs achieves operational efficiencies, 50% cost savings and a 12‑month ROI with Cisco Meraki

Saving costs and accelerating ROI for growing vehicle repair business

Capital S.M.A.R.T Repairs, a fast-growing Australian vehicle repair business servicing hundreds of workshops and 180,000 vehicles a year, needed a cloud-first network strategy to replace costly, hard-to-manage MPLS and legacy systems. After evaluating options, the IT team chose Cisco Meraki to provide a scalable, cloud-managed solution — notably Meraki secure SD‑WAN and MV smart cameras — to simplify deployments and support aggressive growth.

Cisco Meraki deployed hundreds of devices (MR access points, MS switches, MX SD‑WAN appliances, Systems Manager and MV cameras) centrally managed via the Meraki dashboard, enabling plug‑and‑play site rollouts, VoIP over SD‑WAN and cloud camera analytics. The result: proven ROI within 12 months, up to a 50% cost reduction at one workshop, faster site provisioning, consolidated voice infrastructure and improved security and operational visibility.
