Powering seamless retail experiences everywhere
Retail runs 24/7. Every transaction, digital interaction and supply chain movement depends on a network that performs flawlessly in stores, online, inside apps, across distribution centers and out to partners.
When connectivity slows, payment delays and inventory inaccuracies lead to customer frustration and dissatisfaction.
Keep retail connectivity in sync with GTT
Modern global retail spans stores, ecommerce platforms, mobile aps, distribution centers, cloud-based pricing and loyalty systems, and third-party logistics providers (3PLs). As these environments grow more connected, even small gaps can cause transaction delays, inventory errors and inconsistent customer experiences.
GTT simplifies this complexity with global connectivity, high performance, integrated security and unified visibility, reducing complexity so teams can focus on customer experience, not ongoing network management.
With GTT, retailers can:
- Maintain consistent performance across stores and digital channels
- Keep transactions, inventory and order systems aligned
- Secure customer, payment and operational data globally
- Bring new locations and partners online faster
- Gain unified visibility across retail operations
The benefits of GTT’s retail expertise
Always-on omnichannel performance
Omnichannel success demands operational lockstep from POS systems, ecommerce platforms, apps, inventory tools, and logistical services.
GTT delivers predictable global performance with:
- A global Tier 1 backbone for consistent low-latency reach
- Secure cloud interconnects for ecommerce, pricing, and order-management platforms
- Managed SD-WAN for intelligent, stable traffic routing
Without GTT
- Inconsistent performance across regions, stores and ecommerce sites
- Slow checkouts and transaction delays that frustrate customers
- Inventory, order, and fulfilment systems frequently out of sync
With GTT
- Consistent global performance across all stores and channels
- Faster checkouts and smoother experiences
- Real-time accuracy across order management systems, inventory, and fulfilment workflows
HMY Group modernized connectivity across its international retail estate with GTT Managed SD-WAN, reducing network costs by 22% while doubling bandwidth to support growing omnichannel demands.
Cyber resilience and zero-trust security
Retail environments are high-value cyber targets. Distributed stores and global operations multiply the number of devices, users, and systems that require protection: POS terminals, in-store Wi-Fi, handheld devices, cloud applications, loyalty systems, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors.
GTT helps establish a resilient Zero Trust security foundation as part of a unified global network by embedding network-level protections directly into our global Tier 1 network, while integrating managed security services and identity-based access controls including Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Zero Trust Network Access, managed firewalls, and DDoS protection.
Without GTT
- Fragmented security policies across regions and stores
- Increased exposure to POS, IoT, and cloud-based attacks
- Challenging compliance with data-protection and payment standards
With GTT
- Zero trust access to applications and systems, regardless of user or location.
- Strong protection for in-store devices and cloud systems
- Simplified, globally aligned compliance and audit readiness
Mattress Warehouse improved security posture and simplified operations with GTT Managed Networking and Managed Security Services.
Secure, compliant and fast payment connectivity
Payment experiences shape customer trust. And every slowdown risks abandoned purchases leading to revenue loss.
Without GTT
- Slow or unreliable payment authorization
- Higher risk of payment-system vulnerabilities
- Difficulty maintaining PCI-ready environments at scale
With GTT
- Fast, stable, secure payment processing everywhere customers buy
- Strong encryption and segmentation for cardholder data
- Consistent, compliance-aligned architecture across all regions
Cloetta modernized its global network with GTT Managed SD-WAN, improving performance and security, while strengthening transactional reliability and compliance.
Intelligent store operations and edge performance
Retail stores increasingly function as digital hubs, running applications like mobile POS, RFID readers, digital signage and real-time analytics which require stable, low-latency connectivity and strong security.
GTT enables intelligent store operations with SD-WAN optimized for in-store traffic, high-capacity Cloud Connect links to analytics and AI platforms, and Secure Connect protections for IoT and sensor environments.
Without GTT
- Unstable in-store Wi-Fi and unreliable digital tools
- Poor performance for IoT, RFID and analytics applications
- Difficulty standardizing store technology globally
With GTT
- Consistent in-store performance for digital tools and automation
- High-performing, secure foundation for IoT and edge workloads
- Scalable, standardized capabilities across all store locations
KIABI enhanced the stability and performance of applications across stores and warehouses with SD-WAN, improving user experience and supporting digital retail operations at scale.
Unified and secure supply-chain connectivity
Retail supply chains span diverse regions and partners, relying on hyperconnected supply chains. Every step requires real-time data and secure communication across distribution centers (DCs), warehouses, suppliers, and 3PL providers.
GTT’s managed SD-WAN ensures predictable performance, the Tier 1 backbone for global reach, and Secure Connect to protect data across logistics and supplier environments.
Without GTT
- Poor visibility across inventory, logistics nodes, and partners
- Slow data movement between DCs, warehouses, and stores
- Difficulty coordinating multi-region replenishment and forecasting
With GTT
- Unified, secure connectivity across all supply-chain locations
- Faster, more accurate movement of inventory and operational data
- Improved resilience to disruption across regions and partners
Greenyard unified connectivity across its global supply chain with GTT Managed SD-WAN, improving visibility and resilience while delivering more than €1 million in annual cost savings.
