Powering retail operations and warehouses with a single mobility partner

Industry:
Warehouse & Distribution
Location:
Canada
Organization:
National Tire Retailer and Service Provider
PiiComm Solution:
Strategic Sourcing, Staging & Deployment, Lifecycle Management, MDMaaS, Secure Decommissioning

Challenge: Two environments, one underperforming vendor

A national tire retailer needed mobile devices for two environments. In retail stores, staff needed tablets to power tire inspection and consultation workflows. In back-end warehouses, workers required rugged devices for pick-and-pack operations.

Their previous vendor treated smaller, steady orders like theirs as low priority. Quote turnaround times stretched to weeks, and the relationship lacked proactive support, putting strain on the company’s operations.

A partner was needed to stabilize their mobile device fleet in both environments, adapt to their purchasing rhythm, and deliver attentive service regardless of order size.

Key Needs

  • Tablets for in-store tire inspection and customer consultation
  • Rugged devices for warehouse pick-and-pack workflows
  • A single partner to support both environments
  • Attentive service that matches their operational pace

Solution: Tailored mobility for the storefront and the warehouse

PiiComm became a single point of contact for both environments. For retail locations, tablets were configured with the organization’s driver vehicle inspection application. Store staff can now scan tires, measure tread depth, and provide customers with reports and replacement recommendations.

For warehouse operations, PiiComm supplied ultra-rugged devices featuring better connectivity, range, and performance. Built for durability, these devices keep pick-and-pack workflows running smoothly in the most demanding conditions.

Monthly governance calls ensure a proactive relationship, and include performance reviews, cost-saving anlysis, and addressing evolving needs.

Outcomes

  • Customers receive detailed tire condition reports on the spot
  • Warehouse workers benefit from faster scanning and stronger connectivity
  • Partnership expanded from initial pilot to full scope
  • Legacy vendor replaced with proactive mobility partner

In-store, newly deployed tablets help staff deliver faster, more informative service to clients. Customers receive detailed tire condition reports, building trust and helping them make informed buying decisions.

In the warehouse, workers benefit from modern devices with faster scanning, stronger connectivity, and improved durability—reducing friction in daily workflows.

From this opportunity, the relationship has grown into a full-service partnership spanning procurement, deployment, lifecycle management, MDM support, and secure decommissioning. PiiComm’s consistent, hands-on partnership has earned the organization’s trust to take on increasingly strategic projects.

Power multiple environments with just one partner.
