Top-10 supermarket chain stops competitors seeing its pricing data before it hit shelves
Industry: Retail
Region: Americas
The Challenge
Our client, one of the top 10 largest supermarket chains in its region, was pulling sales data from every store monthly. Because that data was commercially sensitive and shared confidentially across locations, the organisation had real concerns about competitors gaining access to pricing information before it went to market.
With sales data representing a genuinely critical competitive asset, the business wanted a solution that could enforce strict access controls and let data move securely across its store network without risk of exposure.
The client evaluated a range of competing solutions, with security as the primary selection criterion, and chose SureDrop by Senetas cloud deployment over an on-premises alternative.
The decision wasn’t just about SureDrop’s security capabilities. The quality of the user interface mattered too. With a large, frequently changing workforce, ease of onboarding was essential. Intuitive navigation meant new employees could get up and running quickly, without any compromising security.
Outcomes in summary
- SureDrop by Senetas deployed as a cloud-based secure file-sharing solution
- Strict access controls enforced across a national store network
- Commercially sensitive pricing data-protected from exposure ahead of going to market
- Cloud deployment selected over an on-premises alternative, following a security-led evaluation of competing solutions
- Fast, intuitive onboarding supported a large and frequently changing retail workforce
