Eliminating downtime for uninterrupted retail operations

Reliable networks form the backbone of smooth retail operations. Outages disrupt sales, delay transactions, and frustrate customers. Optus delivers fast, dependable internet to keep systems running, even in busy shopping centres. Our fixed wireless access with automatic failover ensures POS systems and inventory updates stay online, keeping your business moving and customers happy.

Equipping retail teams with tools to deliver better service

Retail staff drive customer experience. Optus provides mobile devices and apps that help staff check inventory, process transactions, and complete training on the go. These tools let employees work anywhere in the store, improving efficiency, collaboration, and team engagement while creating a smoother experience for customers.

AI insights for smarter store decisions

Understanding customer behaviour drives sales. Optus works with partners like Cisco and Samsung to offer AI-powered analytics and solutions. These tools empower retailers to monitor customer movement in-store to see which products they interact with and adjust layouts to boost sales. With these insights, you gain the data to make smarter decisions.

Tailored support for retail operations

Retailers need strong IT support without big teams. Optus offers managed services that scale with your business. Our Client Delivery Managers (CDMs) provide dedicated help on-site for large retailers or through packages for smaller ones. From network maintenance to troubleshooting, we take care of the tech so you can focus on customers.

Use Cases

Keeping stores connected

When unreliable networks affected payment systems at a major retail chain, Optus implemented fixed wireless access with automatic failover. This solution delivers seamless POS functionality and addresses the critical need for resiliency in physical retail.

Empowering retail teams

Retailers use Optus-powered mobile solutions to provide staff with tools for inventory management, POS transactions, and e-training. These enhance the employee experience, helping to reduce turnover by creating a more engaging and supportive work environment.

Enabling data-driven decisions

Using AI-powered analytics, retailers can optimise store layouts and track customer interactions. Optus collaborates with partners to deliver these insights, helping businesses improve sales and customer experiences. The ability to analyse customer behaviour in-store leads to actionable changes that directly impact revenue.
