The Challenge
Shapers Group operates multiple office locations across the UK, each with its own internet connection. When the primary line at any site went down, staff had to manually switch to backup - often after productivity had already been lost. With teams relying heavily on cloud applications and video conferencing, even brief outages were causing real business impact.
Our Solution
We deployed FortiGate SD-WAN appliances across all Shapers locations, creating an intelligent network that spans their entire operation. Each site now has automatic failover between connections, with traffic steering that prioritises business-critical applications. The central management portal gives their IT team visibility across every location from a single dashboard.
The Result
Failover now happens in seconds, not minutes - often before users even notice an issue. Cloud application performance has improved across all sites thanks to intelligent traffic steering. The IT team can now manage network policies centrally instead of site-by-site, saving hours each week.
