Scamp Trailers enables smoother manufacturing process with WiFi boost

“Fiber connectivity is the backbone of how we relay information to the assembly line. We 100% count on Dedicated Fiber Internet from processing orders all the way down to tracking shipments with the warehouse manager.”

With their lightweight frames and oval shape, Scamp Trailers has developed a distinct identity among camper enthusiasts. At their Backus, Minnesota headquarters, recreational vehicles known as “Egg Trailers” are being built and customized in three different sizes. Scamp Trailers has been owned and operated by members of the Eveland family for three generations.

In the last few years, Scamp Trailers has experienced enormous demand as well as growth challenges.

“We work on a huge campus in large steel buildings, and we had major inconsistencies when it came to things like having a strong WiFi signal,” explains Micah Eveland, Chief Executive Officer, Scamp Trailers. “Our workforce is always moving onsite and off. Whether they are on a mobile phone or a tablet device, we wanted a better way to stay connected.”

To improve signal strength everywhere on the Scamp Trailer campus, a Managed Network Edge platform was designed and installed to channel bandwidth instantly.

Access points are strategically integrated to expand and strengthen coverage to all critical areas. A Cisco Meraki managed firewall monitors and protects against cyberattack. A cloud-based portal gives Eveland centralized oversight and control via a handy app.

“Right now, we are experiencing about a 7% increase in our productivity,” Eveland notes. “We are anticipating a 20% increase once everything is fully implemented.”

A Dedicated Fiber Internet (DFI) circuit channels high-speed connectivity to all parts of the campus. This comes with 24/7/365 U.S.-based support and a service-level agreement guaranteeing 100% uptime. Dedicated Fiber Internet is also scalable, ready to meet the bandwidth needs of growing businesses.

“Now that we have a Spectrum Enterprise fiber connection, each one of our stations can complete their own work orders and things like that,” Eveland explains. “Anywhere you are on campus, even outside, you are still able to keep connected.”
