Sue Ryder: Warehouse Wi-Fi Expansion and Logistics Optimisation
The Operational Challenge
Sue Ryder operates a distribution and warehouse facility in Northampton. They required the ability to provide a wireless network within the warehouse to enable scanner devices to have consistent network connectivity. The primary business goal was to improve response times for inbound and outbound logistics, ensuring their nursing and hospice support operations were never hindered by technical delays.
No Warehouse Wi-Fi
Scanner devices lacked consistent network connectivity across the Northampton facility.
Slow Logistics
Inbound and outbound response times were being impacted by connectivity gaps.
Care at Risk
Technical delays risked hindering nursing and hospice support operations.
