SPAR: Case Study

With over 13,000 stores worldwide, over 2,000 stores in South Africa, and 14 million daily customers, SPAR is the world’s leading voluntary food retail chain. When civil unrest erupted in South Africa, SPAR found itself in a precarious situation. The food suppliers in the country were directly threatened, including SPAR’s data center operations.
