Technology Infrastructure for Warehouses, Logistics & Distributionin Uganda
Reliable connectivity, security surveillance, inventory systems, and uninterrupted power — engineered for logistics by Backspace Business Solutions.
The Challenge: Why Warehouses Struggle with IT
No Connectivity on Warehouse Floor
Warehouse floors are large, open spaces with metal shelving that blocks WiFi signals. Staff resort to mobile hotspots for scanners and tablets, creating unreliable and insecure connections.
Mobile Hotspots for Barcode Scanners
Workers use personal phones as hotspots for inventory scanners and POS devices. This creates security risks, consumes personal data, and drops during peak operations.
No Server Room or Network Closet
Networking equipment sits on shelves or in offices with no proper cooling, power protection, or physical security. Equipment fails from heat, dust, and power surges.
Poor Inventory Tracking Systems
Manual inventory counts, paper-based tracking, and disconnected systems lead to stock discrepancies, shrinkage, and delayed reporting to management.
Unreliable Power for Critical Systems
Uganda's grid fluctuations and outages bring warehouse operations to a halt. Servers, scanners, and CCTV go offline without backup power protection.
No Security Surveillance
Without CCTV, warehouses face theft, unauthorized access, and loading dock incidents with no evidence for investigation or insurance claims.
