Drinkmaster 365, the gold standard for the liquor stores, liquor and wine stores, and breweries, in addition to a number of useful basic features—such as comprehensive pricing, discount, and promotion modules—it also offers a number of industry-specific integrations for the beverage trade.
For example, Drinkmaster 365 Currently linked to several of our clients:
Empty Container Management for the Beverage Industry
A TOMRA Bottle Return Terminal. This allows customers to place their empties in the machine at the store entrance, receive an empties receipt, and continue shopping at their leisure.
For beverage retailers, using a machine like this is an investment that pays for itself. This is because staff don’t have to be constantly available to handle empty bottles and cans, but can instead focus on advising customers—for example, on choosing the right wine or the perfect beer for every occasion.
Cashiers can also make themselves available for 100%, in part to avoid lines. Drinkmaster 365 also prevents the duplicate scanning of returnable container tickets and helps prevent fraud.
POS (Point of Sale)
The use of a wireless handheld scanner with built-in keyboard has its advantages for our customers: the cashier can scan the items without ‘the cable’ getting in the way, has the option to scan items directly from the cart, and since crates of beer usually don’t have barcodes, you can easily switch on the scanner between the units ‘crate,’ ‘bottle,’ or even packs of 4 or 6.
Do you prefer to work with a touchscreen? There are options for that, too. You can decide for yourself which buttons to display on the screen, which background color to use, and how many screen levels to include. Thanks to the touchscreen, for some of our customers, the order is already entered before the customer even reaches the checkout with their cart.
Does the customer pay with Bancontact? In that case, we already have the links set up so that you can transfer the amount due from the cash register to the terminal with the push of a button. Convenient, fast, and, above all, error-free.
Loyalty Card for the Beverage Retail Industry
Would you like to reward your loyal customers? Then you can use the loyalty card In Drinkmaster 365, offer an additional discount on items that qualify for your customers. After making a certain number of purchases, the customer will receive a ‘gift certificate’ that they can apply toward their next purchase.
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
