Card machines that stay online, no matter what.
How retail chains keep payment terminals prioritised over guest Wi-Fi, across every store in the group.
Retail chains run point-of-sale terminals, stock systems and guest Wi-Fi over the same in-store connection, often across a dozen or more locations.
Busy guest Wi-Fi can slow or drop payment terminals at the worst possible moment, and an unmanaged network risks exposing point-of-sale systems to the same footprint customers connect to.
Cloud Group works closely with its extensive partner network of IT professionals and resellers to deploy iShield, a next-generation Smart Access Unified Threat Management Device, across retail chains from independent stores to nationwide groups.
Payment terminals always online, guest Wi-Fi fully isolated from point-of-sale systems, and every store managed remotely from one dashboard.
Uninterrupted payments
Traffic shaping guarantees payment terminals stay fast and responsive, even when guest Wi-Fi is under heavy load.
Protected point-of-sale systems
Network isolation keeps POS and stock systems fully separated from customer-facing Wi-Fi.
Consistent store trading
Automated link failover keeps stores trading through local outages, avoiding lost sales.
Safer customer Wi-Fi
Captive portals give customers a controlled, secure connection with no path back into store systems.
Reduced fraud exposure
Malicious behaviour and proxy blocking help reduce the risk of card skimming and network-based fraud.
Lower store IT costs
Centralised management lets one team administer every store’s network without a technician on site.
