Waterloo Records moved off MS-DOS and onto Path.

After four decades running the floor on a DOS-era POS and inventory system, Waterloo cut over to a modern Path stack — without losing the store DNA.

Challenge

Waterloo had been running the floor on an MS-DOS-era POS and inventory system since the eighties. It worked — but every modern requirement (online sales, modern card readers, real reporting, integrations) required workarounds the team had outgrown.

Solution

A Path POS surface, a unified product database, and a Path-built storefront — running on contemporary hardware, all reading from one inventory of truth.

Outcome

The store kept its identity and its workflows, on a stack that can support the next forty years instead of fighting them.
