Case Study: Almega Sports

Client Overview
Almega Sports is a locally owned, family-run athletic supply store offering custom car wraps, screen printing, embroidery, full-color banners, decals, and specialty prints. Their business combines retail sales with in-house production, serving teams, organizations, and individual customers throughout the community.
As the company grew, they needed technology that could support both their online presence and internal operations.
The Challenge
Almega Sports initially approached 850 Tech Gurus with the need for a professional website that included an online store. They wanted customers to be able to easily shop custom team stores and branded merchandise.
As discussions progressed, additional needs became clear:
- A modern, scalable website with e-commerce functionality
- Improved internal IT infrastructure
- A properly built and organized IT rack
- Dedicated network drops for stable workstation connectivity
- A full security camera system
- Centralized file storage for improved collaboration
Their existing setup was limiting efficiency and lacked the structure needed for continued growth.
Our Solution
850 Tech Gurus delivered a complete technology overhaul designed to support both customer experience and internal workflow.
We developed a custom website with integrated e-commerce functionality, allowing clients to browse and purchase from team-specific and custom storefronts with ease.
On the infrastructure side, we:
- Installed a new, professionally organized IT rack
- Added dedicated network drops to improve speed and reliability
- Deployed a full security camera system for retail and production areas
- Implemented a NAS (Network Attached Storage) system for centralized file sharing across the team
The NAS allows designers, production staff, and office personnel to securely access shared files, improving collaboration and reducing downtime.
The Results
Almega Sports now operates with:
- A professional online presence and functional e-commerce platform
- Reliable wired network connectivity throughout the facility
- Structured, labeled IT infrastructure built for scalability
- Centralized file access to support production workflow
- Full visibility and protection across retail and production spaces
By combining web development, infrastructure upgrades, and security integration, we helped position Almega Sports for long-term operational efficiency and continued growth.
