Retail companies with far-flung locations face challenges in keeping lights, alarms, and IT systems running from headquarters and helping local staff troubleshoot a system failure. For CURO Financial Technologies Corp. and its more than 400 lending stores in the United States and Canada, when there was a power outage at one of its locations and an off-the-shelf battery backup kicked in, the company’s building management and IT teams had little time to keep the location’s power up and running. And when connectivity to a store went out, troubleshooting was an exercise in trial and error.
The company, which operates Speedy Cash stores in the U.S. and Cash Money in Canada, among other short-term lending brands, utilizes computers, network switches, routers, security systems, and digital cameras and recorders throughout its extensive footprint. Whether caused by storms or some internet disruption, when any of those systems goes offline, someone has to figure out the problem and get them back online as soon as possible.
