ADMIN AND INVOICING
Liquorgistics works with all market segments in South Africa, from Grocer Accounts to Independent Store Owners. All listings are generated in your name, which ensures that you have complete ownership over your brand. Your clients pay all monies directly into your account, which leads to the added advantage of better Cash Flow. We can handle anything from regional based listings, to national listings. Our systems have been built in such a way to ensure that we comply with the vast majority of customers requirements in the Wine & Liquor Industry.
LOGISTICS: STOCK CONTROL
Consignment Stock is held at each of our warehouses per region. We ensure that you are fully stocked at all times by implementing stock replenishment procedures in each region. Our real-time WB Reporting System provides you with all the power to know exactly what stock is available in each warehouse. You can simply log into the system and view the reports.
Stock rotation is managed in-house by each warehouse as they know how important it is for stock to be managed correctly. Old stock is depleted before new stock is sent to your customers.
A number of controls are implemented to ensure that stock is managed effectively and efficiently at each warehouse, so that you don’t have to. Any stock variances are carried by the distributors to ensure that they handle your stock as if it was their own.
LOGISTICS: DISCOUNTS AND DEALS
As all listings are created in your name, you need to have appropriate control over the deals provided to each customer in the market, whether it is for grocer accounts or individual store listings. We know how easily information can be lost, which is why we have dedicated recruits at Liquorgistics who manages all Deals, Discounts and Special Offers presented to your customers. Whether it is at head office level or for individual stores, our system can accommodate a variety of deals at once. Discounts can vary from client’s specific discounts to cultivar specific discounts. Trading terms deducted from statements are verified per remittance at each month end. Clients have access to all deals & discounts loaded on our system at all times.
DEBTORS BOOK
Your customer base is managed directly in your name. Invoices and Statements contain your logo and details, increasing brand recognition and awareness in the customer’s mind. Debtors are kept up to date by allocating payments on a daily basis, whether COD or 30 days. Overdue accounts are automatically placed on hold, which prevents merchandise from being delivered to a customer before payments have been received.
Dedicated recruits at Liquorgistics will reconcile all payments to ensure your debtor’s payments are received in a timely manner.
IT: SAGE EVOLUTION
In today’s competitive market, systems are everything. Liquorgistics places great value in setting up our systems in such a way to ensure that efficiency and effectiveness is increased, while simultaneously minimizing human errors. The credibility of our data can always be tracked as every transaction processed in our system is recorded.
Liquorgistics ensures our clients of transparent systems that will allow them full access to any sales, distribution or accounts information they require. Reports are confidential and can only be accessed by authorized personnel.
Data integration is made possible by altering systems in such a way that it is possible for a company to extract the required data from our system in order to import the data back into their own database. Whether you are working on an accounting system like Pastel, or an industry specific system like EzyWines, our system can provide you with all information requirements.
LIQUORGISTICS HAS BEEN A PART OF OUR CLIENT’S GROWTH IN TERMS OF MARKETING AND MERCHANDISING IN THE WINE, LIQUOR AND BEER INDUSTRY. A NEED IN THE MARKET HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE FORM OF CLIENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE PROPER REPRESENTATION IN THE MARKET.

SALES, MERCHANDISING AND KEY ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
Growing a brand in South Africa in the Wine and Liquor industry requires a sturdy relationship between your company and that of the Customer. This relationship is forged by the Key Accounts Manager and the Sales Force looking after your brand.
This lead to the existence of Bottle Logic (Pty) Ltd – A new and exciting business entity that was only recently established in the Wine and Liquor Industry of South Africa (February 2016).
After years of operating in the Wine & Liquor Industry, a gap in the market has been identified for a company that can provide a national sales force to multiple producers, while still keeping the portfolio limited enough so that focus on a specific brand is not lost. Liquorgistics has created a company that can do just that.
Bottle Logic is focused on providing a national sales force that can effectively and efficiently service the following market segments:
- Grocer Accounts
- Wholesale Accounts
- Retail Accounts
- Independent & On-Consumption Accounts
- Third Party Distributors
