In Need of a Ride Along with a Supplier Sales Rep

 Hi!  If you happen to be a route/field rep for a supplier that serves the liquor store industry, I would like to discuss a way that I could ride along with you for a half or full day?  I am working on some research for supplier ordering technology and how the technology ties in to the liquor stores POS system.

If you are open to this, please contact me at kevinantosh@gmail.com or 208-340-5632 - I realize that we may have to wait until the COVID 19 situation is under control but would like to at least discuss coordinating a ride along with you.

What Liquor Stores are Replacing Micrisoft RMS With

WOW - thanks to all the liquor stores in Montana and Washington State who updated me on what they used to replace the aging Microsoft Dynamics RMS point of sale software. In no particular order, here are the top 4:

• NCR CounterPoint (liquor store specific version)
• Retail Management Here (which now has a liquor store specific version of the software)
• LiquorPOS (no longer requires the use of Heartland for merchant services)
• Vend (this surprised me - I didn't know that Vend was popular in the liquor store retail vertical)

No one had any complaints about their decision so I felt that it was good information to pass along to any liquor stores wondering what to do about the upcoming July 2021 end of life date for the Microsoft Dynamics RMS point of sale software.

As always, please do call or email me with any questions.
