Case Study: Alabama State University achieves 30,000+ game-day transactions during a power outage with Revel Systems' Always On Mode

Alabama State University Scores 30,000+ Transactions

Alabama State University faced a major point-of-sale challenge during a home football game when a stadium-wide power outage knocked out Internet connectivity at food and retail stands, threatening lost sales for cloud-based iPad POS systems that typically require a strong connection.

Revel Systems’ hybrid architecture and Always On Mode allowed the POS to run on a local network in offline mode, continuing to process transactions and sync data later; ASU completed roughly 30,000 transactions in five hours, maintained real-time reporting access, and continues to use the feature to avoid revenue loss and operational disruption.
