Case Study: Leading Retail Company achieves resilient, cost‑effective multi‑site WAN and uninterrupted POS service with FatPipe Networks SD‑WAN

Retail giant deploys FatPipe SD-WAN to its stores

Leading Retail Company, a national retailer with 40+ store locations and 10+ distribution centers (scaling to 60+ sites by year end and 100+ within five years), faced uneven WAN reach, poor bandwidth utilization, manual failover and no traffic prioritization—risks that threatened POS uptime and timely order processing. To address this, the organization selected FatPipe Networks’ SD-WAN (FatPipe MPVPN/SD‑WAN with MPSec) for a uniform, over‑the‑top WAN management and zero‑touch deployment capability.

FatPipe Networks deployed its SD‑WAN across 50 sites to aggregate multiple carrier links, enable automatic load balancing and sub‑second failover, enforce traffic policies centrally, and add encrypted MPSec overlays; management and reporting were centralized for rapid rollouts. The result was reduced network costs, higher bandwidth utilization, uninterrupted POS and inventory access, guaranteed priority for critical applications, and a scalable hybrid WAN (MPLS/DSL/Wireless/Broadband) rollout that the retailer credits with improving reliability and deployment speed.
