Case Study: Stine Lumber Company achieves uninterrupted sales continuity during outages with Epicor Offline Point of Sale

Stine Lumber Company - Customer Case Study

Stine Lumber Company, a top-100 building materials dealer with 12 locations across Louisiana and Mississippi and about 700 employees, relied on a centralized POS and IT model that left stores vulnerable to network outages from storms, severed cables, or other disruptions. Those outages threatened checkout efficiency and could have cost the company significant sales—especially during hurricanes when demand spikes.

Stine deployed Epicor’s offline point-of-sale (a local Linux server running the same POS software) to provide instant failover with virtually no training, full peripheral support, and fast data resynchronization. The solution kept stores open and checkout times short during outages—preventing as much as half of potential sales loss in the hurricane zone, preserving customer trust, and simplifying post-outage reconciliation.
