Case Study: Global Retail Distribution Company achieves 5× faster long-distance, secure file transfers with Globalscape

Retail Distributor Accelerates Business with Fast File Transfers

A global retail distribution company in Seattle, WA regularly exchanged large files with a partner in Hong Kong but long‑distance TCP/IP transfers created significant delays that hampered business. The retailer had been using Globalscape Enhanced File Transfer (EFT) Enterprise to automate manual workflows but needed faster long‑haul transfers to meet objectives.

Globalscape upgraded the customer to EFT Enterprise with the Accelerate module and leveraged existing automation features to streamline workflows (e.g., accounting folder‑monitoring and file‑moving rules). Globalscape’s solution cut transfer latency dramatically — files transferred about 5× faster and felt like they were sent from a local server — eliminating long waits and improving productivity.
