Buford, Georgia

What Business Looks Like in Buford.

We would rather show you we know the market than claim it.

Buford runs on retail more than any other city in Gwinnett. The Mall of Georgia on Buford Drive is the largest mall in the state at more than two million square feet with over two hundred stores, and the commercial development that has grown around it along the Buford Drive and State Route 20 corridor is dense with restaurants, franchise locations, service businesses and the contractors and suppliers who serve them.

That creates a specific technology profile. Retail and restaurant businesses live and die on the point of sale system, the card terminal and the network underneath both. They have seasonal load, they run long hours, and the people on site at eight on a Saturday evening are not technical staff. What they need is equipment that works and a number that reaches someone who knows their setup.

Historic downtown Buford is a different world only a few minutes away. Main Street and Shadburn Avenue hold independent restaurants, boutiques and studios, with Tannery Row at the south end occupying the original leather works that gave the city its old nickname. These are older buildings with older wiring and owners who are personally invested in every dollar spent.

North of town, Lake Lanier shapes the seasonal economy, and the northern portion of Buford crosses into Hall County, which occasionally matters for which carriers can serve an address.

Services

What We Do for Buford Businesses

Chosen for how this market actually operates.

Retail and Restaurant IT

Point of sale, card terminals, back office and the network underneath. Built so a busy Saturday does not become an outage, and so the staff on shift have a clear path to help.

Cameras for Retail Loss Prevention

Register coverage, sales floor, stockroom and exterior. Footage you can actually search when you need a specific two minutes from last Tuesday. Authorized Avigilon and Axis dealer.

Guest and Business Wireless, Separated

Customer Wi-Fi kept away from payment and business systems. A single flat network is the most common problem we find in retail spaces, and it is both a security and a performance issue.

Multiple Locations, One Setup

Franchise and multi-location owners get consistent equipment, consistent configuration and one place to call, instead of three stores each running whatever the last technician left behind.

Cabling in Older Downtown Buildings

Main Street, Shadburn Avenue and the Tannery Row buildings need careful work rather than fast work. See structured cabling.

Internet and Phones

Buford addresses vary in what carriers can deliver, and the Hall County portion of the city differs again. See internet and phone.

Retail Reality

Your Busiest Hour Is the Worst Possible Time for a Problem.

Retail and restaurant IT is judged on one thing, which is whether it works when the room is full.
Point 1

Built
for Peak, Not Average

A network that is fine on a Tuesday morning and struggles on a Saturday evening has not been designed, it has been left alone. We size wireless, bandwidth and equipment for your peak rather than your average, because peak is when it matters to your revenue.

Point 2

A
Path to Help for Non-Technical Staff

The person who discovers the problem is usually a shift manager, not an owner. We set up a clear, documented way for them to reach us and a short list of things to check first, so the first ten minutes are useful rather than wasted.

Buford Questions

What businesses here ask us first.
Do you support point of sale systems?
We support the network, the workstations, the card terminal connectivity and the security around them, and we coordinate with your point of sale vendor on the application itself. In practice most point of sale problems turn out to be network or configuration problems, which is our side of the line.
We have three locations. Can you handle all of them?
Yes, and multi-location retail is a good fit for how we work. Consistent equipment and configuration across sites makes everything cheaper to support and much faster to fix, because the answer at one store is the answer at all of them.
Part of our property is in Hall County. Does that change anything?
For our service, no. For internet and phone it sometimes does, because carrier serviceability follows the address rather than the city name. We check the specific address rather than assuming.
Can work be done outside store hours?
Yes. Cabling, equipment swaps and network changes in a retail or restaurant space get scheduled when you are closed. We plan around your hours rather than ours.
