Case Study: Terminal Supply Company achieves reliable, cost-effective multi-site connectivity with Ecessa PowerLink

Terminal Supply Co. A phased deployment approach ensured network reliability and connectivity

Terminal Supply Company, a full‑line distributor with seven branch locations centered on its Troy, MI home office, faced the impending phase‑out of its Sprint MPLS network and needed a lower‑cost, reliable WAN replacement to maintain connectivity to its central AS400. Working with IT partner C‑Net Systems and agent Telegration, Terminal Supply selected vendor Ecessa and its PowerLink® solution for a phased, non‑disruptive migration that avoided a forklift upgrade.

Ecessa implemented a phased deployment of PowerLink SD‑WAN appliances, supplying detailed network schematics, hands‑on engineering support and carrier troubleshooting while enabling remote installs at branches. The project delivered a successful two‑year migration off MPLS, reduced WAN costs, improved uptime and deployment predictability, and allowed nontechnical staff to complete remote site turn‑ups—results that Terminal Supply and its partners say exceeded expectations.
