Case Study: AS Colour achieves operational efficiency and high-capacity Wi‑Fi with Extreme Networks' cloud-managed Wi‑Fi 6

AS Colour Deploys Extreme CloudEnabled Wi-Fi 6 Infrastructure to Drive Operational Efficiencies and Competitive Advantage

AS Colour, a global designer, manufacturer and retailer of premium apparel, needed reliable, high-performance Wi‑Fi across high-density, automated warehouses to support Android handhelds, Bluetooth glove scanners and a new warehouse management system. To solve inconsistent coverage and enable digital transformation, AS Colour engaged Extreme Networks and replaced its basic Cisco wireless with a cloud-based Extreme solution using Extreme AP510C access points managed by ExtremeCloud IQ.

Extreme Networks deployed a Wi‑Fi 6, high-capacity network with software-defined dual 5 GHz radios and centralized ExtremeCloud IQ single‑pane management, giving IT full visibility and seamless handoff across sites. The implementation increased pick rates by 25–30%, reduced construction costs by about 30%, raised storage capacity by about 35%, enabled orders to hit the WMS in ~30 seconds (ready for dispatch within 10 minutes), and provided a repeatable blueprint for UK and US rollouts.
