Case Study: GNC achieves secure, scalable store connectivity with EarthLink Business

GNC - Customer Case Study

GNC, a leading nutritional products retailer with more than 3,700 store locations, needed a secure, scalable network to support web-based store applications and the rollout of a new register system across 2,500 company-owned stores in just over a year. To meet those demands, GNC turned to Earthlink Business for a solution that could improve communications, connectivity, performance, and support future growth.

Earthlink Business implemented a private MPLS WAN across GNC’s store network, delivering fast, reliable, and secure connectivity with scalable bandwidth. The result was successful rollout of the new network and register system on schedule, stronger 24/7 application performance, and support for services like direct shipping and loyalty cards. GNC also lowered payment card processing fees, saving more than $300,000 annually by eliminating phone lines.
