Problems

Outdated software

Stein’s & Vines started in 2006 as a local go-to for wines, spirits, craft beer, and champagne — carrying over 3,500 SKUs. When the new owners took over, they inherited a system that hadn’t kept up with the times.

"The people who owned the store previous to me were somewhat old school. Coming from a software background, I recognized that it was necessary to see more data, more information, and detail in the store."

Listed Problem
Outdated technology
The old system was clunky and generic — built for everything from jewelry shops to produce stands. It didn’t give Stein’s & Vines the liquor-specific data and control they needed to run a modern store.
Time-consuming processes
Invoice entry used to take two to three days, manually. Staff were stuck behind screens instead of helping customers or keeping the store floor organized.
Lacked liquor-specific features
The old system didn’t offer liquor store tools like mobile pricing updates, product performance grading, or integration with Drizly.
