Business Challenge
Since opening its first outlet in 1980, Majestic Wine has grown to become one of the UK’s largest
beverage retailers with more than 200 stores across the country.
Until recently it used a single broadband connection with wireless backup to link its stores with
head office and facilitate the acceptance of payment transactions. A separate standalone public
Wi-Fi network was deployed to stores to provide staff and customers with a basic Wi-Fi service.
This proved successful but store coverage meant that for some outlets the service was limited
and coverage unreliable. Majestic Wine recognised that it needed to upgrade its network and
contacted its broadband payments service provider Transaction Network Services (TNS).
Solution
TNS and Majestic Wine have designed a new fully redundant managed service which provides
point-of-sale (POS) retail services via a dedicated payments network with the ability to use multiple
failover capabilities.
The high speed Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) infrastructure deploys the PCI DSS compliant TNSLink for
POS solution using split ISP suppliers with two failovers and wireless back-up via TNS’ Global
Wireless Access roaming SIM service. Customers and employees are also benefiting from improved
highly available Wi-Fi services, providing full coverage throughout their stores. This enhances the
customer experience and allows digital interactions with customers while they browse.
Outcome
Jim Bendon, IT Director at Majestic Wine, said:
“We’re delighted with our new infrastructure which cost-effectively integrates
both elements of the solution to promote efficiencies while ensuring sensitive
cardholder data remains segregated and secure. The multiple failovers and
additional wireless back up delivers superior reliability which is essential across
our busy store network and the TNSOnline portal provides valuable near real-time
visibility into our 400+ POS terminal estate.
“We have enjoyed a long-standing close relationship with TNS that spans more
than 10 years. The team’s knowledge, service and expertise is second to none
and we look forward to continuing to work together.”
