Ahmad Zeidan, Channel Sales Manager, Netgear Middle East

Netgear partnered with ITS, a service company specialising in large-scale, IT solutions for the implementation of key wireless solutions for UAE based sports equipment and accessories retail chain, Sun and Sand Sports. The project is valued at AED200,000 and is part of the vision of Sun and Sand Sports to adopt and implement new technologies into their operations, which cost them around AED2.5 million.

The installation of strategic wireless solutions will enable Sun and Sand Sports staff to utilise wireless connectivity for Pocket PC PDA’s and perform key functions like Point of Sale (POS), and inventory (Transfer in, Transfer Out, Demand Request, GRN’s, and Stock Tracking).

The project was implemented over a six-week installation period and covered Sun and Sand Sports facilities in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah. The installation included key Netgear equipment like the wireless controller model WMS5316, access points device WG103 and FS 726TP switches.

“Our operations have greatly improved since the new wireless system was installed by NETGEAR and ITS, greatly increasing staff productivity and efficiencies. The presence of wireless connectivity has allowed us to reduce on time and cost on usual store duties like bar coding, price verification, and inventory transactions like transfer in, transfer out, demand request, GRN’s, and Stock Tracking with online variation. Now, all data can easily be transferred from store to store. Customers will also benefit from this improvement in our operations. This project is part of a broader plan, which will cover around 65 stores in UAE and GCC countries.” said, Bilal Abdel Hadi, Group IT Manager, Gulf Marketing group, Sun and Sand Sports.

Yousef Abu Al Shawareb, Deputy GM, ITS-UAE, adds that “the company’s strategic partnership with Netgear allowed it to help the company increase more productivity and efficiencies with the development of wireless solutions that they can use for point of sale, inventory and stock tracking purposes. “The combination of our expertise in implementing turnkey technology solutions combined with Netgear’s wide range of networking products allowed us to develop an effective and reliable wireless solution for Sun and Sand Sports showrooms in the UAE.”

 Ahmad Zeidan, Channel Sales Manager, Netgear Middle East says working with a solutions provider like ITS demonstrates the company’s steadfast commitment to provide customers with effective and highly reliable wireless and networking solutions that can altogether bolster more growth and development into their organisation. “Servicing Sun and Sand Sports retail chain reflects Netgear’s continuous dedication towards developing strategic IT solutions for our customers and helping them integrate their business into their day-to-day operations.
