JYSK, part of the family-owned Lars Larsen Group, has grown its business footprint to operate more than 3,600 stores and web shops across 50 countries, with further expansion planned. To underpin this scale, the company is investing more than DKK 2 billion in IT infrastructure, connectivity and cloud initiatives over the coming years. The retailer’s goal is to ensure that every store, employee and customer can experience fast, stable and secure access to JYSK’s systems and data, anytime and everywhere.

“This collaboration marks a major milestone in JYSK’s long-term IT and business transformation, ensuring that our digital foundation supports continuous growth, global expansion and the demands of a modern omnichannel retail business,” said Anders Harder, IT Category Manager, JYSK. “GTT has shown flexibility, insight and a genuine partnership approach that aligns well with JYSK’s procurement principles of Partner, Product and Price — and fully supports our corporate values of Tradesman, Colleague and Corporate Spirit.”

JYSK’s network upgrade is a crucial enabler of its unified commerce strategy, ensuring the agility and reliability needed to deliver seamless customer experiences across every channel. By modernizing its digital foundation, JYSK can accelerate point-of-sale transactions, maintain real-time inventory accuracy and support smoother fulfillment options such as order-online-pick-up-in-store and home-delivery flows, all important to upholding the retailer’s customer experience promise.

“Our previous network infrastructure had reached its limits in scalability and performance,” said Klaus Mark, Team Manager IT Network, JYSK. “With GTT, we gain higher bandwidth and stronger redundancy, all while keeping full control and security. The architecture is simple, robust and built for the future.”

The new network will service 29 JYSK markets across Europe and integrate with multiple hyperscalers and security switches through the GTT Envision platform, ensuring a robust and secure foundation for JYSK’s cloud strategy. This integration will help JYSK streamline supply-chain operations, accelerate application rollouts across markets and support future digital retail initiatives.

“JYSK is navigating a highly complex retail landscape, where seamless connectivity across its thousands of locations and cloud environments is key for delivering the best possible service to its customers,” said Tom Homer, Division President Europe, GTT. “Our role is to simplify that complexity with robust, scalable services, and we’re proud to be the trusted networking partner supporting JYSK’s strategic vision for unified commerce and global growth.” Homer emphasized that the partnership is designed to support JYSK’s long-term digital evolution, including its shift to insight-led marketing, modernized store concepts and automation-ready logistics infrastructure.
