Use Case · Wine & Spirits Distribution

EasyCheck for wine and spirits distributors

Manage shelf placement, back-bar execution, supplier program rollouts, and account-level POS across a portfolio that ranges from mass to luxury — all in one platform built for how wine and spirits distribution actually works.

Built for the specifics: supplier portfolio depth, on-premise back-bar execution, off-premise shelf compliance, and the high-touch nature of luxury and limited-allocation brands.

Why wine and spirits distribution needs purpose-built tooling

Wine and spirits distribution has structural differences that generic field execution tools don't model. Portfolios can stretch from value-tier to ultra-premium across hundreds of SKUs. Shelf placement programs run alongside back-bar features alongside menu placements alongside event activations. Supplier relationships span from large multi-brand portfolio partners to one-SKU boutique producers — and each has its own program execution expectations.

The execution stakes are higher than they might appear. A misplaced shelf set, a missed back-bar feature, or a delayed menu placement at a key account doesn't just lose a sale — it loses supplier confidence on a portfolio where allocations are negotiated brand by brand.

Wine and spirits workflows EasyCheck handles natively

Six workflows wine and spirits distributors specifically need — and that generic retail or CPG execution tools force into the wrong shape.

Shelf set verification & planogram compliance

Photo-verify shelf sets against planogram standards. Flag non-compliance for follow-up. Roll up by chain, by region, by supplier program. Defensible data when a supplier asks why their brand isn't where it should be.

On-premise back-bar & menu execution

Track back-bar features, menu placements, and well-pour programs across on-premise accounts. Different workflow than off-premise, run in the same platform without confusion.

Multi-supplier program management

Run dozens of supplier programs in parallel without losing track. Each program has its own brand standards, account targets, and execution requirements. Reporting separates cleanly by supplier.

Limited-allocation brand tracking

For high-touch and limited-allocation brands, track placement at the account level with the granularity those programs demand. Supplier QBRs become straightforward conversations.

Event & activation tracking

Tastings, dinners, brand activations — capture proof of execution with photos, attribution to the right supplier, and reporting on program ROI.

Co-op claim documentation

Suppliers want defensible documentation of program execution before approving co-op spend. EasyCheck produces it automatically — claim approval rates rise, dispute cycles shorten.
