Our customer PENNY
PENNY is a REWE Group company and has been active in large-scale sales in Italy for almost 30 years. PENNY Italy's recipe for success: passion, enthusiasm and professionalism. Around 4,400 employees work in over 400 stores and seven sales centers. Italy is a growth market - further investments and new markets are planned for the future.
Competing successfully with a modernized IT landscape
PENNY had to modernize its equipment landscape in order to stay competitive amidst market price pressure. . With around 10,000 different types of devices, including servers, notebooks, smartphones, and in-store tills, managing this diverse IT infrastructure became complex and costly and tied up liquidity. We assisted PENNY by implementing a comprehensive usage model that offers a transparent financial overview, predictable payments ensures planning reliability and budget relief for the company.

Conclusion
Currently, the discount supermarket chain operates more than 400 branches in the country, coordinated from its Italian headquarters in Cernusco sul Naviglio. This location is also the hub from which all of PENNY’s IT assets in Italy are managed. The 10,000 or so devices range from servers and laptops to smartphones and store tills – a very complex equipment fleet to manage. CHG-MERIDIAN supports PENNY with a comprehensive package of services and products that comprise leasing and Enterprise Mobility Solutions, all on a guaranteed carbon-neutral basis. Penny Italia and CHG-MERIDIAN: a partnership in which CIO Marco Ruffinoni also sees great potential.
"CHG-MERIDIAN is the right choice for us because it can guarantee a degree of flexibility that none of the other competitors were able to offer. Our choice of partner was therefore based not solely on financial viability – although this was a relevant factor – but also on commercial transparency."
