Industry
Hundreds of sites, one policy.
Retail runs many small sites with thin IT and a long list of vendors. Routing devices join every site with failover, rules grant each role the systems it needs, and vendors reach store systems through recorded sessions instead of standing accounts.
Context
What this sector has to answer for
Point-of-sale and payment systems carry their own security obligations; access to them should be narrow, logged and recorded.
Sites open and close often, and the device at each site must be simple: install an agent, enrol with a key, inherit the rules.
Head-office applications, supplier portals and SaaS tools belong in one Workspace per role, so a store manager starts the day in one place.
Scenarios
The access problems this sector runs every day
- A new storeA small device runs the agent as a routing device and enrols with an Enrollment Key. The Stores group's rules apply at once.
- Point-of-sale supportThe POS vendor opens the store server as a recorded Secure Session during the ticket's window.
- The store manager's dayScheduling, inventory and the supplier portal as cards in one Workspace, on any device in the store.
- Which sites are up?Pulse and Live Fabric show every site's routing devices and their health, honestly.
Deployment
Where it should run
- Inlinea Cloud, in your regionSingle-tenant, hosted in the region you choose.
- Dedicated sovereign environmentFor groups operating in several countries, a dedicated environment per jurisdiction.
- On-premisesWhere the group runs its own data center.
