Case Study: Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation achieves continuous POS availability and optimized inventory with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam Helps Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation Remain the Single Greatest Source of Revenue for the Province

The Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) is the province’s government-run retailer of alcohol and recreational cannabis, operating 160 stores, serving half a million customers and processing more than 17 million POS transactions a year that generate hundreds of millions in revenue for public programs. Their challenge was keeping that POS system available: slow, unreliable backup and recovery risked interrupting transaction transfers to the ERP, hindering inventory replenishment and potentially reducing revenue.

Veeam Backup & Replication delivers instant restores for the POS environment, ensuring continuous availability so NSLC can analyze sales data to optimize product placement and meet customer demand. The solution proved more cost-efficient than alternatives and helped NSLC maintain revenue flow, improve inventory accuracy across stores, and continue funding programs that promote safe and responsible consumption.
