Volume through the till, identification checked on every young face, restaurant accounts on their own price, and buying that swings hard around holidays.
System Five is built around how a liquor or winery store actually runs — the operating mechanisms below, each backed by documented capabilities. System Five on Cloud is the standard delivery; on-premise deployment is available by request.
System Five includes 40 capabilities this trade draws on directly, within 164 that apply to how it operates — a selection from the full documented set, not a ceiling.
Sales a regulator cares about — age prompts, tobacco and liquor reporting.
Getting a queue through — touch screen, scanning, line busting, parked sales.
Stock with a season or a lifespan — buy early, mark down late, account for what does not survive.
More than one site or department reading and writing the same records.
Selling what you do not stock — ordered in against the customer's name and tracked until it lands.
A different price for the trade than for the public — levels, schedules, allowances and accounts that remember them.
Ordering and pricing straight from the people who make it — catalogues, price files and order feeds.
Several items sold as one thing — a room package, a build, a bundle — while the stock behind it still moves correctly.
One product in many forms — colour, finish, size, wattage — without a part number nobody can find.
Getting the goods to the customer — booked from the sale, loaded, routed and proved delivered.
