Global IT services for retail
Whether your IT challenge is rapid expansion, urgent consolidation, legacy technology deficits or just the trouble of managing technology at a global scale, A&O IT group has the answers for you. We understand the multiple technology domains which make up the retail technology landscape and can work with you, globally, to support your journey.
Global support across all retail formats
No matter your store format, A&O IT Group can support your needs.
Pop-up event locations
In the fast-paced world of retail, A&O IT Group empowers your brand with swift and effective pop-up event solutions. Our "in a box" environments ensure that your events, launches, or brand campaigns are up and running quickly, with easy deployment and deinstallation.
We offer complete support from setup to breakdown, allowing you to focus on connecting with your audience. Trust A&O IT Group for seamless and professional execution of your pop-up events, ensuring they leave a lasting impression.
Store-in-store format
Store-in-store format locations come with significant complexity despite their lower footprint. Operating and co-existing with a host location can impact connectivity, create more complex Wi-Fi environments and increase the time to deploy. We have years of experience and the methodologies to work with your partners to ensure the best possible solution is deployed.
Small stand-alone locations
For small, Directly Operated Store (DOS) locations, you can face issues in space and the ability to position IT equipment and IT upgrade stock. Complex building layouts, legacy cabling and structure can make difficulties in your IT plans and deployments.
With in-house, integrated expert teams we can support just in time delivery of equipment, planning and execution no matter the environment you face, saving you time and your store colleagues hassle.
Flagship locations
In the high-stakes environment of flagship locations, every meter matters. These spaces must deliver flawless experiences for customers, making the performance of IT systems crucial. A&O IT Group excels in integrating cutting-edge IT solutions in prestigious, high-value buildings, ensuring your brand shines under pressure.
Our expertise lies in harmonising advanced technology with the unique character of older, storied structures. We understand the nuances of curating these environments to maintain their charm while achieving operational excellence. With experience in some of the world's most complex locations, A&O IT Group is your trusted partner in navigating the flagship journey, ensuring your locations operate seamlessly and leave a lasting impression.
Large superstore and warehouse locations
When you move to large format locations and warehouse sites, you need support to deal with the complex need to have IT supporting every part, linked to the extremely high ceiling height and the challenge of moveable metal equipment onsite. These location types frequently change and need constant IT revision to maintain optimal performance. With the ability to provide appropriate lifting equipment and the IT skills needed to make the right recommendations, A&O IT Group is the perfect partner for you.
Hotel and hospitality spaces
Supporting front of house, guest experience and proving a consistent IT delivery in a large or small accommodation format location needs a blend of skill sets which is different to most other locations and not the same as a typical office fit out. We have a depth of experience in supporting guest experience and partner experience which can support from large to small locations and event spaces to support any type of need.
