Less downtime. Smoother rollouts. Built to scale. Technology that just works.

Side-by-side comparison
| Decision area | QNS | Granite |
|---|---|---|
| Brand store template | Brand-first, repeatable store template designed to scale | Built around Granite’s consolidation model and managed services portfolio. |
| Full infrastructure scope | Multi-vendor coordination across low-voltage, A/V, surveillance, structured cabling, connectivity, network hardware, and store tech dependencies | Strongest in telecom consolidation and managed network services. Other infrastructure elements like low-voltage, A/V, and surveillance generally require separate sourcing by the operator. |
| Best-fit sourcing across categories | Fit-for-purpose selection across categories | Centered on Granite-delivered services and consolidation model. |
| Implementation coordination | Full PM or rollout template to align stakeholders and configurations | Strongest within Granite programs and managed scope. |
| Day-one readiness | Whole store tech readiness and supportability | Readiness is strongest for Granite-managed services. Broader store tech readiness depends on what is sourced separately. |
| Accountability across vendors | QNS runs point across the rollout and holds QNS-sourced suppliers accountable, while keeping other stakeholders aligned when needed. | Accountable within Granite scope. Multi-supplier gaps still need an owner when other vendors are in play. |
