Description

Scotch is a comprehensive operating system tailored specifically for liquor retailers, integrating liquor-focused point of sale (POS), payment processing, back office functions, inventory management, ordering, receiving, analytics, and customer engagement tools into one cohesive platform. More than just a typical POS system, Scotch is designed to meet the operational needs of bottle shops, wine retailers, beer outlets, and liquor stores, accommodating features like case breaks, handling distributor invoices, managing thousands of SKUs, working with multiple suppliers, ensuring age verification, enabling offline sales, and providing real-time inventory tracking. By streamlining transactions, the POS system allows staff to complete sales more quickly, enroll customers on the spot, manage rewards programs, facilitate split payments, ensure secure transactions, and maintain customer flow even during internet outages. Furthermore, Scotch automatically monitors parent-child inventory relationships, meaning that selling any quantity—be it a single bottle, a six-pack, or an entire case—instantly updates all related inventory types without the need for manual inputs or end-of-day reconciliation processes. This efficiency ultimately enhances the overall shopping experience for both retailers and their customers alike.

Point of Sale

Scotch is a specialized point-of-sale (POS) solution tailored specifically for the needs of liquor stores, wine retailers, package shops, and beer distributors, rather than a generic POS modified for the industry. Unlike horizontal POS systems that force bottle shops to cope with absent features, Scotch incorporates all necessary functions directly into its design. The platform seamlessly integrates checkout, inventory management, back-office operations, and eCommerce, enhanced with AI-driven ordering, automated receiving, and margin optimization specifically for alcoholic beverages. The pricing model is all-inclusive, covering hardware, installation, and data transfer while also ensuring that Scotch offers competitive card processing rates with no concealed charges. Developed by an experienced team from Skupos, Drizly, and Toast, Scotch provides independent retailers with dedicated software solutions without the complications typically associated with enterprise systems.

Retail POS Systems

Scotch is a specialized retail POS system designed specifically for the beverage alcohol industry, catering to liquor stores, wine shops, package stores, and beer retailers. Unlike generic retail POS systems that differentiate between cases and individual bottles as separate stock-keeping units, Scotch seamlessly manages case-break inventory, ensuring accurate counts whether sales are made by the case, bottle, or unit. The platform utilizes AI-driven ordering to generate purchase orders based on actual sales trends, allowing businesses to reorder based on real demand rather than assumptions. It also features margin optimization tools that identify underpriced items before they lead to losses. With automated receiving, distributor deliveries are integrated into the inventory system without the need for manual data entry, resulting in time savings of over 20 hours per week for stores using AI-enhanced receiving. Additionally, ID scanning is incorporated directly into the checkout process rather than being offered as a separate feature.
