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.

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.
