Protecting transactions, critical data transfers and/or optional visibility from outages

Store networks can fail for many reasons, from severe weather to telecom breakdowns. Unfortunately, many convenience store companies suffer through those outages because customers in the store can’t make purchases with credit/debit cards. Outages can have a big impact in other areas of the business as well. Accounting data can’t be transferred from the store, staff might not have visibility into tank levels or maintenance alarms, merchandise ordering is affected and more.
