Spectrum Enterprise Bolsters Grocery Chain’s Growth Strategy

Share Article:

Heritage Grocers Group, a specialty Hispanic and ethnic food retailer, owns and operates 115 stores in six states under the brand names Cardenas Markets, Los Altos Ranch Market, Tony’s Fresh Market and El Rancho Supermercado. Heritage Grocers achieved this broad expansion supported by Spectrum Enterprise networking and connectivity solutions that were easy to scale as the company grew. While each of the brands strives to serve up a unique in-person experience, it is important for the grocery chain’s overall operations that the digital experience is consistent, fast and reliable across sites. And they look to Spectrum Enterprise to help ensure that it is. 

Spectrum Enterprise has worked with Heritage Grocers to replace legacy systems and establish a single, unified network platform to operate all store locations. Spectrum Enterprise provides a single point of contact for connectivity and managed IT solutions that support credit card transactions, AI-driven inventory tools, environmental monitoring IoT sensors, online ordering and delivery service. This reduces the administrative complexity for the grocery chain’s internal IT teams. Heritage Grocers is also using the company’s all-in-one solution Managed Network Edge at each store for 24/7/365 network monitoring and cybersecurity protections. 

Planning for more expansion, Prabash Coswatte, the Chief Operating Officer of Heritage Grocers Group, emphasizes the importance of having solutions that are scalable and the key is having a partner that can “keep up with our pace and help us accelerate our growth plans.”
