Keeping your business running at all times.
Connecta helps retailers with business continuity solutions to continue operations during and after natural disasters.
Read storyBackground
Connecta helps the largest retailers in the US streamline and secure operations with satellite communication solutions, providing reliable and uninterrupted voice and data services to ensure seamless supply chain operations of essential goods and supplies.
Our clients operate numerous retail locations highly vulnerable to weather conditions, such as Florida and Puerto Rico. They must ensure seamless communication and prepare for unpredictable seasonal conditions.
Challenges
Natural disasters and unpredictable weather conditions are leading causes of supply chain interruptions. Running a business where weather conditions affect operations regularly requires a reliable and resilient communication system, endurable to weather conditions.
Our clients rely on a reliable data and voice communication system for every touch point of the supply chain. Port operators, dispatch centers, cargo fleets, and retail locations require consistent communication and updates to ensure all essential goods and supplies are delivered, especially before or during harsh weather conditions.
Reliable and resilient communication is vital for the safety of stationary and mobile teams, often on duty during harsh weather conditions.
Learnings
Meticulous preparation and robust processes minimize operation interruptions caused by natural seismic events or unanticipated outages.
Resilient communications and connectivity unbound by atmospheric conditions ensure continuous visibility and business operations during harsh situations.
Having visibility of your operations is key to running your business. We know that the greater awareness you have over operators, dispatch centers, cargo fleets, retail & vehicle locations, and the health and status of drivers and cargo, the easier it is to run your processes and keep your staff safe.
Solution
We deployed hundreds of satellite phones on each client site and the mobile teams.
Additionally, we equipped the client's locations with roll-out portable satellite internet terminals that can be easily pull-out and assembled to provide reliable high-speed internet.
Results
With the consistently available Satcom solutions, our clients can communicate internally when disaster hits and all terrestrial networks are down. They can keep their fleet teams aware of any obstacles or unsafe routes when passing through disaster-affected areas.
The satellite internet terminals allowed them to connect and run operations with essential online portals, emails, and video calls.
Our clients continue to use our satellite solutions and annually extend the satellite technology stack as an integral component of their business operations.
We work together and continuously explore new satellite technologies to sustain the connectivity demands of business growth.
