As the retail market becomes increasingly competitive and demanding, retailers are investing in new technologies to improve the overall customer experience, increase operational productivity and communications and reduce supply chain costs. New point of sale (POS) systems, self check-out terminals, Web-based kiosks, radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, electronic shelf systems, transaction terminals and security systems are now being deployed across most store networks.
The success of these strategic decisions is greatly determined not only by the technologies being used but also by how efficiently these systems are deployed across various remote stores. Managing multiple orders, lead times and delivery schedules is not only costly, but carries the risk of delays due to order errors and missed shipments.
Anixter works with some of the world’s largest retail networks to deliver leading edge communications technology. Below are some of the solutions Anixter can offer:
LANs and WANs
Retailers need access to information quickly and securely to ensure they are responsive to their customers’ needs. Choosing the right technology for your communications infrastructure is critical to enabling your staff real time access to pricing, inventory and merchandising information. Anixter specialises in the design, supply and installation of technologically advanced LAN and WAN infrastructures.
Wireless LANs
A mobile workforce with access to real time data can enable retailers to operate at maximum efficiency and productivity. Anixter’s range of wireless devices will deliver critical data to store employees no matter where they are thus improving store operations.
Physical Security
Surveillance in stores requires an infrastructure as well as the camera systems to enable central control and management. Anixter’s security solutions deliver a range of solutions which can be tailored to each retail business’ needs.
Supply Chain Services
Co-ordinating the delivery of the right products when, where and how you want them can rapidly turn into a nightmare. Working with Anixter as the logistics and supply chain expert can cost-effectively support your need to deploy a communications, security or power network across a number of sites. We will work closely with you to develop a "turnkey" process that will enable you to reduce the time and cost in your infrastructure upgrade or new store deployment.
