Case Study: Savers achieves mobile, future-proof Wi-Fi and improved operational efficiency with Extreme Networks

Largest Thrift Store Chain in North America Selects Wireless Retail Solution from Extreme

Savers, the largest for-profit thrift store chain in North America with more than 300 retail locations plus headquarters, a call center and regional distribution centers, needed to modernize its wireless infrastructure to enable mobility, future-proof Wi‑Fi, and simplify management for a small network team. Savers selected Extreme Networks—deploying ExtremeCloud IQ on AWS, ExtremeWireless and ExtremeSwitching—to find a cloud Wi‑Fi solution with easy installation and intuitive management.

Extreme Networks deployed its cloud-managed wireless and switching across Savers’ retail and corporate sites, enabling mobility for proprietary inventory software, guest networks, VLAN-based segmentation, and Bluetooth analytics readiness. The Extreme Networks solution delivered measurable operational gains—improved productivity and efficiency in inventory processing, simplified remote management with ExtremeCloud IQ and RF planning, and a secure, scalable network foundation for continued retail innovation.
