Creating a Pleasant Customer Experience
In retail industry, point of sale (POS) systems can be as simple as the equivalent of an electronic cash register, used to make and record. However PoS systems can also be linked into back-office stock control and ordering. As a result, connectivity for a store is now critical and a single circuit of Internet is no longer a sensible way to backhaul PoS systems.
Relying on a single service provider to cover business continuity all store locations is pretty difficult. What would happen if the internet connection at a retail store failed during peak business hours and you don't have backup line? It is not difficult to imagine that there would be lots of revenue loss during the downtime, not to mention the damage to brand reputation.
