Shopfloor hardware, networks, and someone who answers.

The unglamorous layer the trading day actually runs on.

01

What this means.

01 · Networks that stay up

Designed, not accumulated.

Business-grade networking, properly segmented, monitored and documented. We replace the accumulated layers with something intentional, and we write down how it works so the knowledge is not carried in one person’s head.

02 · Shopfloor hardware

The gear the day runs on.

Point of sale, scanners, printers, screens and the connections between them. Specified, installed and supported as one system rather than as a drawer of receipts from four different suppliers.

03 · Managed, not monitored

Someone who answers.

Patching, updates, monitoring and support with a person on the other end who already knows your setup. Not a queue, and not a ticket number in another timezone.

04 · Continuity, not insurance

An hour down is a number.

Backup and recovery that has actually been restored from at least once, because an untested backup is a rumour. We cost downtime the way the P&L does, having carried one.
