A Earthlink Business Case Study
Advance Auto Parts, the world’s largest auto parts retailer, needed a more reliable and scalable way to support phone-driven sales across 4,000 stores. With nearly 40% of sales starting with a call, the company wanted better call quality, call reporting, VoIP savings, secure credit card transactions, and support for video and other data services.
EarthLink Business implemented a managed MPLS network over high-speed DSL, replacing the retailer’s fragmented network and enabling SIP-based voice routing, centralized call reporting, and prioritized traffic for mission-critical applications. EarthLink Business helped Advance Auto Parts cut annual long-distance charges by at least half, recover missed calls that were previously lost, improve staffing decisions, and add new store video and training capabilities while maintaining voice and data performance.
