Powering a Fast-Growing Supermarket Chain in Poland

The growth of the Dino’s chain of mid-sized supermarkets is a true phenomenon, both on the domestic and European level. Since its debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange less than 6 years ago, the company has seen an impressive growth trajectory, as evidenced by the large-scale expansion of its stores. By the end of 2022, the network numbered 2,156 stores. Only last year, the company opened 344 new stores.

Challenges

  • Creating a proficient logistic infrastructure that enables daily supply of fresh products
  • Increasing the bandwidth capacity, scalability, automation and security of the LAN network spanning our offices and logistics center in Krotoszyn
"Considering the fact that our environment is changing rapidly, we can comfortably say that the reduced network complexity and the Extreme management panel helped us save money in our IT budget. With our new Extreme solution in place we are able to manage the entire network infrastructure without the need to expand our staff exponentially, thus minimizing the company's operating costs."

Head of IT  Infrastructure, Dino Polska S.A.
