For The Home Depot, delivering a seamless, frictionless experience to its customers and 500,000 associates is paramount. As a leading innovator in retail, the company continues to enhance the interconnected experience that blends the digital and physical worlds; one that allows customers to peruse, research, and purchase with ease, and delivers a familiar experience, regardless of whether they’re in-store, online, or using the mobile app. Its stores continue to be the center of the customer experience – in the first quarter of 2022, more than 50 percent of online orders were fulfilled through a store.

“Our goal is to enable technology to remove the friction from our customers’ and associates’ experiences each and every day,” said Daniel Grider, vice president of technology at The Home Depot. “Our customers trust us to have the right tools and materials to complete their home improvement projects; having an in-store network that further supports interconnected capabilities like in-store navigation or image search allows them to get back to their projects more quickly.”

Customers are at the heart of everything The Home Depot does, so its technology investments and initiatives are intended to make it easier for customers to design, visualize, and buy materials for their projects. For example, maintaining strong connectivity in stores will help provide Home Depot associates the ability to deliver a great customer experience. The Home Depot is rolling out Zebra Technologies’ TC52ax handheld devices, allowing associates to easily check pricing and inventory availability in hand or from more than 40 feet away, which is helpful when serving customers and locating products in overhead storage.

The Home Depot’s refreshed network will streamline IT management and operations. Solutions like Aruba Central cloud with AIOps capabilities allow the company to proactively monitor network health and address issues before they negatively impact performance. The Home Depot’s wireless solution includes Aruba location services via WLAN APs, which provide zero-touch determination of AP location, continuously validate and update location, and provide a set of universal coordinates that may be transposed on any building floor map or web mapping platform.
