Growing Business Exposes Technology Gaps

Good Drinks Australia has established itself as one of Australia's top independent breweries through its new collaboration with Macquarie Telecom which enables the company to enhance its network and cybersecurity protection. The company operates its business expansion while managing increased operational demands during summer and holiday periods which constitute its peak business times.

The brewer operates multiple departments which include manufacturing operations and sales and marketing functions and distribution services and hospitality functions with a staff of approximately 300 employees. The Western Australian and Queensland operations require dependable systems which enable continuous movement of products through the supply chain process.

The network system showed multiple weaknesses which appeared during periods of increased demand when seasonal workers joined the company. The system had three problems which included excessive data accumulation from cloud archiving procedures and authentication system mismatches and backup access issues and firewall protection shortcomings.

New Technology to Improve Reliability

Good Drinks solved its operational problems through the implementation of SASE technology together with SD-WAN and Macquarie Telecom advanced security services. The system operates with two main objectives which include boosting network reliability and enhancing cybersecurity protection throughout the organization.

The company selected Macquarie Telecom because of its industry experience and local knowledge and capacity to provide complete network security solutions. The system operates through AI-powered functions which enhance operational efficiency while decreasing potential dangers.

Reduced Downtime and Better Performance

The main advancement through this project has achieved greater system availability. The network required complete shutdowns during network upgrades which created operational disturbances. The system now allows background upgrades which maintain user operations and essential system functions.

The new system provides critical advantages during peak times because even brief interruptions will cause delivery delays and sales losses. The new system enables staff to manage operational activities while the business grows without needing technical support.

Stronger Cybersecurity and Future Plans

The partnership has also improved the company's ability to protect against cyber threats. Good Drinks can now detect and handle security threats because their improved system visibility combined with their easier system management processes.

The brewing company plans to expand its current partnership with Macquarie Telecom for future business development. The upcoming plans will deliver better network access for field workers and implement edge computing and hosting solutions to enable future business expansion.

The Good Drinks Australia upgrade enables the company to meet rising customer demand while delivering secure and dependable business operations.
