ABOUT THE CLIENT
A growing retail chain with 25 locations across multiple cities struggling with fragmented IT infrastructure. Each store operated independently, making centralized management, reporting, and security enforcement nearly impossible.

- No centralized visibility into store operations
- High IT overhead with on-site troubleshooting requirements
