Scotch is a specialized retail point-of-sale (POS) system designed specifically for businesses in the beverage alcohol sector, including liquor stores, wine boutiques, package shops, and beer outlets. Unlike standard retail POS systems that categorize cases and individual bottles as distinct SKUs, Scotch inherently manages case-break inventory, ensuring accurate counts whether products are sold by the case, bottle, or unit. This platform integrates checkout, back office functions, and eCommerce capabilities, along with tools for optimizing profit margins that highlight underpriced items. Additionally, it employs AI to generate purchase orders based on actual sales performance. Features such as automated receiving and ID scanning are included as standard, rather than as optional extras. With a single comprehensive price that encompasses hardware, installation, and data transfer, Scotch also guarantees competitive card processing rates without any hidden charges. Established by professionals from Skupos, Drizly, and Toast, Scotch offers independent retailers tailored software solutions without the complexity often associated with larger enterprises.
