Most retail WiFi works against you.

Most retail WiFi does three things badly: it's inconsistent store to store, it captures no usable customer data, and it leaves POS systems and IoT devices on the same flat network as guests. Cloud4Wi fixes all three — on the access points you already own.
GUEST WIFI FOR RETAIL

Turn store WiFi into first-party data and repeat visits

When shoppers connect through a branded captive portal, you capture consented first-party data and feed it straight into your CRM; Passpoint reconnects them automatically on every return visit; and your loyalty app stays connected in-store even without cellular coverage.

Data Collection

Discover who your customers are, what they prefer, and how they behave across your retail stores.

Digital Merchandising

Encourage customers to discover new products and adopt new services during every store visit.

Real-Time Messaging

Send timely, contextual messages triggered by a customer's entry, dwell, or exit from the store.

Loyalty-app Connectivity

Deliver seamless in-app loyalty services and features, even where cellular coverage is weak.

CLOUD NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL FOR RETAIL

Secure every device in the store — associates, IoT, and vendors

Give associates and their BYOD devices identity-based access through your IdP; assign per-device PPSK credentials to POS terminals, scanners, and IoT; and grant vendors or contractors scoped, time-limited access.

Associates & BYOD

Give associates and BYOD devices identity-based access through your existing identity provider.

POS & IoT Devices

Issue per-device credentials to POS terminals, scanners, and headless IoT devices automatically.

Visitors & Contractors

Give vendors and contractors scoped, time-limited access — revoked automatically when it expires.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about guest WiFi, Passpoint, compliance, and how Cloud4Wi works.

When shoppers connect through a branded captive portal, Cloud4Wi captures consented first-party data — email, preferences, visit behavior — and feeds it straight into your CRM. Passpoint then reconnects them automatically on every return visit. Retailers use this to grow opted-in contacts, personalize marketing, and attribute repeat visits, all without shared passwords or third-party data brokers.

Yes. Cloud4Wi is hardware-independent and runs on the access points you already own — Cisco, Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Extreme, and more — so you can standardize one guest experience across every store with no rip-and-replace. You manage all locations from a single dashboard, roll out store by store, and protect your existing hardware investment.

Cloud4Wi's Network Access Control gives each device and user identity-based access without an on-prem RADIUS server or MDM. Associates and BYOD devices authenticate through your identity provider; POS terminals and IoT get per-device PPSK credentials; vendors and contractors get scoped, time-limited access. This isolates payment systems from guest traffic, supporting PCI DSS segmentation and reducing breach risk.

Yes. Cloud4Wi is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR-native, with granular consent management, configurable data-retention policies, localized privacy notices, and a MyData Portal for subject-access requests. Shoppers opt in explicitly before any data is captured, so retailers build a consented first-party database they own — reducing reliance on third-party data and the legal risk that comes with it.

Because Cloud4Wi is cloud-native and overlays your existing access points, most stores go live in hours, not months — no controllers to install and no hardware to swap. You configure a branded portal and policies once, then push them across locations from one dashboard. Chains typically pilot a few stores, then roll out the rest on their own timeline.

Retailers typically measure new opted-in profiles, repeat-visit attribution, campaign performance, and fewer WiFi support tickets. For example, Guess captures 35,000 new opted-in profiles per month across 750+ stores and surfaces over a million real-time moments a year. ROI usually comes from marketable first-party data growth plus the operational savings of one centrally managed, hardware-independent platform.
