C9 GROUP / RETAIL

You look after
your customers.
We’ll look after
what keeps you trading.

You didn’t open a shop to chase IT faults and phone companies. C9 brings your technology, business support and suppliers under one team—from the EFTPOS connection to the office out the back.

Opening your first store? Improving the one you’ve got? Let’s get it sorted.

BUILT AROUND THE WORKING DAY

We see the work
behind every sale.

It’s never just the till, the phone or the Wi-Fi. It’s your team, your customers and the next thing that needs doing. Here’s how C9 brings the right support to each part of the day.

INTERNET & NETWORKS

A full basket. A stalled payment. A customer waiting.

When the connection drops, it’s your staff who face the queue. A backup plan belongs in the setup, not on tomorrow’s to-do list.

HOW C9 HELPS

We bring business internet, store Wi-Fi and backup options together, and test how the fallback works with your POS and payment providers.

Give your team a plan when the connection lets you down.

MANAGED IT & WORKPLACE

Your best salesperson isn’t your IT helpdesk.

A login won’t work. The stock tablet is playing up. Suddenly your store manager is fixing tech instead of helping customers.

HOW C9 HELPS

C9 looks after supported devices, Microsoft 365 and staff access. New starters, leavers and everyday faults go through one support team.

Let your team get back to the work you hired them for.

BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS

The next sale might be on the phone.

“Have you got it in stock?” It’s a buying question. But everyone is serving and the phone is still ringing.

HOW C9 HELPS

We route calls to the right store or team, set up an overflow path and match your messages to trading hours and public holidays.

Give interested customers somewhere to go next.

AI & AUTOMATION

Answer the usual questions. Get on with the day.

Opening hours. Collection details. The same follow-up again. Small interruptions add up when there’s a shop to run.

HOW C9 HELPS

We build suitable enquiry and follow-up workflows around your answers and systems, with a person taking over where judgement matters.

Take repeat work off the floor without losing the human touch.

DIGITAL SIGNAGE

Give your next offer a better shopfront.

The promotion is ready. Now it needs to be on the shopfront and in-store screens—not sitting in someone’s inbox.

HOW C9 HELPS

We handle the displays, installation and content tools. Your team can schedule offers for the right screens and selected stores.

Make your screens part of the sales effort.

REMOTE WORKFORCE

Closing the shop shouldn’t start your second shift.

Orders to chase. Supplier emails to answer. Admin to finish. The customers have gone home, but your work hasn’t.

HOW C9 HELPS

C9 helps you add remote support for suitable admin, customer service and back-office tasks, with clear hours, responsibilities and handovers.

Build support around the work that keeps spilling over.

CYBER SECURITY

A busy inbox is no place to take chances.

An urgent invoice lands in the shared inbox. It looks familiar. Your team needs more than a hunch to know what to do.

HOW C9 HELPS

We help secure accounts and devices, review who has access, and give staff a clear way to report suspicious activity before it goes further.

Make security part of the working day.

BACKUP & RECOVERY

Tomorrow’s trade needs more than yesterday’s luck.

A failed device or missing file can leave you scrambling. Having a backup and knowing how to recover are two different things.

HOW C9 HELPS

We work through what needs protecting, who backs it up and how recovery will be checked across the services we manage.

Have the recovery conversation before something goes missing.
Backup planning · Recovery testing · Service ownership

One call to C9. We’ll take it from there.

You shouldn’t have to work out whether it’s the carrier, the network or the device. For the services in your plan, C9 investigates, follows up with suppliers and keeps you in the loop.

THE WHOLE BUSINESS IN VIEW

One shop. Plenty to manage.
One team to bring it together.

Take the services your business needs now, with room to add more later. We handle the setup, day-to-day support and supplier follow-up.

ONE TEAM TO TAKE IT FORWARD

“Who do I call?”
Start with C9.

Being passed between providers gets old quickly—especially with customers waiting. C9 owns the follow-up across the services we manage, bringing the right suppliers into the conversation and keeping you informed.

01

A clear starting point

We look at what you’ve got, what’s costing you time and which contracts are still running. No assumption that everything needs replacing.

02

A coordinated change

You get a clear scope and costs before work starts. We organise the suppliers, test the setup and show your team how it works.

03

Support beyond installation

When something needs attention, you know who to call. We manage the agreed services and help plan what comes next.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Do we need to take every service?

No. Start with what your business needs now. We can manage a particular service or bring several capabilities together, with the scope and costs set out before you commit.

Can you work with our POS and payment providers?

Yes. C9 coordinates the connectivity and IT requirements with the providers involved. We make clear who owns the application, terminals and payment service, and manage the agreed supplier escalation.

Can we keep equipment and services that already work?

Yes. We review what is suitable and supportable before recommending changes. Existing contracts, equipment condition and your plans for the business all inform the sequence.

What happens when something stops working?

Your service plan sets out how to contact C9, the support hours and the escalation process. C9 investigates within its managed scope and coordinates the relevant suppliers, keeping responsibilities clear.

How much does it cost?

The scope depends on your locations, staff, equipment, existing services and support requirements. We separate setup work, ongoing services and optional improvements so you can see what you are paying for.

How early should we talk before opening?

As soon as you have a location and an intended opening date. Carrier availability, cabling, hardware and number transfers can affect the schedule. Bringing those dependencies together early helps you plan realistically.
