Case Study: Fortune 500 eyewear retailer achieves $10M+ incremental sales and 42% lower mobile costs with Pomeroy's rapid iPad deployment

Fortune 500 company - Customer Case Study

This Fortune 500 company, one of the world’s largest eyewear retailers with thousands of North American stores, engaged Pomeroy to support a rapid omni‑channel initiative to deploy mobile devices (iPads) and modernize store networks. The retailer faced disparate legacy network infrastructures across 3,000 locations, siloed customer data, limited in‑store SKU visibility, security and POS integration challenges, and a demanding timeline to deploy over 11,000 tablets in under eight weeks.

Pomeroy implemented a standardized store network with Cisco access points, segregated secure POS VLANs (coordinated with MAC reservation controls), and a custom Apple configuration station staffed by a 15‑member Pomeroy team to automate device setup. The vendor procured, configured, activated and delivered more than 11,000 iPads to 3,000 stores in eight weeks, installed 3,000+ Cisco APs, established wireless and expanded bandwidth in all locations, and delivered measurable impact: over $10 million expected in first‑year incremental sales, a 42% reduction in monthly mobile device costs and a 50%+ reduction in mobile device management platform costs.
