Case Study: Largest Operator of Rural Lifestyle Retailing Company achieves rapid 1,270-store network upgrade in 35 days with Pomeroy

Largest Operator of Rural Lifestyle Retailing Company - Customer Case Study

The Largest Operator of Rural Lifestyle Retailing Company, a Fortune 500 retailer with roughly 1,500 stores and $6.2 billion in revenue, faced slow, costly VSAT satellite WAN backups as a satellite contract renewal approached. With internal resources limited and less than two months to act, the customer selected Pomeroy to rapidly convert its stores to a cellular WAN and manage the full rollout.

Pomeroy mobilized in under 10 days, deploying 100+ technicians, sourcing CradlePoint 850B modems and Cisco 892 routers, and using its Pomeroy Project Portal to coordinate procurement, configuration and field installs. The team converted 1,270 stores in 49 states in 35 days (about half the typical timeline), achieved very high first‑pass yield despite scope changes, added 32 locations, and delivered faster connectivity and significant cost reductions with no disruption to store operations.
