Bedding and sleep products retailer Mattress Warehouse is using GTT’s managed network and security services to support a consistent and better buying experience in more than 350 stores.

Virginia-based GTT Communications is a networking and security provider for multinational organisations.

Mattress Warehouse uses technology to give customers a differentiated in-store experience; its patented BedMatch system uses 18 statistical measurements and runs thousands of scientific calculations to determine the best mattress for each customer.

To support its diagnostics for personalised sleep technology, the Maryland-based company has chosen GTT to deliver security and reliable connectivity between its retail sites and cloud-hosted corporate resources. This should ensure access to the customer service systems required to achieve individualised postural support for every client.

“Keeping our expansion goals in mind, GTT brings its expertise to more than 350 Mattress Warehouse locations in a scalable agile manner that delivers the uninterrupted operations so critical to retail businesses like ours today,” said Chuck Wasson, CIO of Mattress Warehouse. “GTT is a collaborative and reliable partner, and its support through the past ten years has been essential to our continued business transformation activities. By partnering with GTT, we can offer our customers a more secure and reliable buying experience while ensuring our stores operate dependably and efficiently.”

Joan Logan, president of GTT’s Americas division, added: “We’re proud to be the networking and security partner for Mattress Warehouse from its beginnings in Frederick, Maryland, to its earned status today as an industry market leader. The results of our partnership can be seen at the customer level with the outstanding shopping experiences Mattress Warehouse consistently provides. Working hand in hand to develop, implement and evolve its infrastructure, and by using industry best practices for cyber security and resilient networking, Mattress Warehouse’s skilled IT operations team is free to focus on top-level strategic business priorities relying on GTT to manage the daily operations of their secure cloud network.”

Mattress Warehouse is leveraging the GTT Envision platform including its tier-one global IP network and managed networking to provide connectivity for on-site point-of-sales systems, cloud-hosted business systems such as inventory tracking, and bandwidth-intensive applications including videoconferencing used for remote employee product and in-store customer service training.

In addition, GTT has deployed managed firewall services with round-the-clock monitoring and high-performance broadband wireless backup capabilities via low-latency 5G fixed wireless services with access to multiple mobile operators to defend critical business assets at each Mattress Warehouse (mattresswarehouse.com) retail location.

GTT Envision delivers simplified management of networking and security services, alleviating the daily demands of Mattress Warehouse’s internal IT staff as the company continues its rapid US expansion. With Mattress Warehouse’s goal of nearly doubling its store locations in the next five years, the network design and management expertise offered through GTT Envision supports quickly bringing new sites on-net.
