INTEGRATED INDUSTRY FUNCTIONALITY:
Accurate Regulatory Compliance and Reporting
Perhaps the biggest challenge for wine and spirits distribution, and one of the most valuable benefits of our wine distribution ERP, is regulatory compliance and reporting across multiple states. Whether you operate in, or have clients in, one state or all 50—you can manage it all in one system, automatically and accurately. Keep your state liquor licenses always up to date, easily adapt to changing requirements, comply with COLA labeling requirements and simplify VIP reporting.
Automated Tax Calculations
For wine distributors, there is nothing more unique, time consuming and chaotic than calculating taxes and pricing. Federal, state and local taxes, beverage taxes, import taxes and more are all automated for you so pricing is always accurate and compliance is assured.
