Case Study: Circle K achieves secure, scalable Wi‑Fi across 192 stations and lowers IT costs with Comarch

Comarch Network Managed Services for Circle K Polska

Circle K Polska, a network of 350 owned and franchised gas stations in Poland, needed a secure, scalable WAN and public Wi‑Fi across geographically dispersed sites while reducing IT maintenance costs and accelerating new-station onboarding. Comarch delivered Comarch Network Managed Services (CNMS), deploying Cisco and Cisco‑Meraki networking and an access platform to meet the client’s security, cloud-management and hotspot requirements.

Comarch implemented and now manages the WAN, telecom links and a Wi‑Fi hotspot platform, launching the first 46 stations two months after the July 2012 start and currently serving 192 stations. The Comarch solution produced measurable results — about 13,797 average monthly logins and 7.84 TB downloaded monthly — while lowering monthly infrastructure costs, providing SLA-backed 24/7 support, faster rollout times and a scalable, secure network.
