What is Scotch?

Scotch serves as an all-encompassing operating system uniquely designed for liquor retailers, merging liquor-specific point of sale (POS), payment processing, back office operations, inventory oversight, ordering, receiving, analytics, and customer interaction tools into a unified platform. Unlike standard POS systems, Scotch caters to the distinct operational requirements of bottle shops, wine sellers, beer distributors, and liquor establishments by incorporating features such as case breaks, distributor invoice management, and the ability to handle thousands of SKUs from various suppliers. It ensures compliance with age verification, supports offline transactions, and offers real-time inventory monitoring. By optimizing transaction processes, this POS system empowers staff to finalize sales rapidly, enroll customers immediately, oversee rewards initiatives, manage split payments, secure transactions, and maintain a steady customer experience even during internet disruptions. Additionally, Scotch autonomously tracks parent-child inventory relationships, allowing retailers to sell any quantity—whether a single bottle, a six-pack, or multiple cases—while automatically updating related inventory types without requiring manual input or time-consuming end-of-day reconciliation. This streamlined approach significantly improves the shopping experience for retailers and customers, fostering better engagement and satisfaction. As a result, Scotch stands out in the market by not only enhancing operational efficiency but also contributing to a more enjoyable retail environment.

It seamlessly integrates checkout, inventory management, back-office operations, and eCommerce, all powered by AI-driven ordering, automated receiving, and margin enhancement specifically for the beverage alcohol sector. The pricing is transparent and comprehensive, including hardware, installation, and data migration, and Scotch offers competitive card processing rates without any hidden charges. Developed by experts from Skupos, Drizly, and Toast, Scotch provides independent retailers with specialized software while avoiding the complexities associated with enterprise solutions.

Retail POS Systems

Scotch is a specialized retail point-of-sale system designed specifically for the beverage alcohol industry, catering to liquor stores, wine shops, package stores, and beer outlets. Unlike standard retail POS systems that treat cases and individual bottles as different stock-keeping units, Scotch seamlessly manages case-break inventory, ensuring accurate counts regardless of whether sales are made by the case, bottle, or individual unit. The platform utilizes AI-driven ordering to generate purchase orders based on actual sales trends, allowing retailers to reorder products that sell, instead of relying on guesswork. Additionally, margin optimization features identify underpriced items before they negatively impact profits. The automated receiving function streamlines the process of updating inventory from distributor deliveries, eliminating the need for manual entry, and stores using AI-enhanced receiving have reported reductions in receiving time by over 20 hours each week. Integrated ID scanning at checkout is a built-in feature, rather than an extra cost option.
