Case Study: Kenco achieves Day‑1 connectivity and resilient warehouse networking with Cradlepoint NetCloud

Kenco uses Cradlepoint for centralized network management at warehouses, distribution centers, and transportation hubs

Kenco, the largest woman‑owned third‑party logistics (3PL) company in the U.S., needed dependable, secure network access across its warehouses and distribution centers but faced long lead times for wired fiber and strict 60–90 day startup windows. To meet contractual day‑one requirements and avoid costly, labor‑intensive temporary solutions, Kenco turned to Cradlepoint, deploying Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Service for Branch along with Gigabit‑Class LTE / 4G LTE routers, wireless edge adapters, and Out‑of‑Band Management (OOBM).

Cradlepoint’s solution delivered zero‑touch provisioning, centralized NetCloud Manager control, automatic cellular failover, and remote OOBM access, enabling sites and HR kiosks to go online immediately and allowing IT to diagnose and recover routers without onsite visits. As a result, Kenco achieves reliable day‑1 connectivity (many warehouses run the first month on LTE), gains secure separate links in customer facilities, avoids expensive travel for repairs, and frees IT resources for digital transformation — all enabled by Cradlepoint.
