Alcalytics

Alcalytics is a suite of custom applications that offers Canadian liquor agents a streamlined alternative to traditional sales and inventory management tools.

We have designed Alcalytics to be easy to use. You do not need to understand accounting. If you can create a Purchase Order and reconcile a Vendor Bill you will know how to use Alcalytics. To help, we offer easy instructions and simple, identifiable forms so you can quickly and confidently get up and running.

In short, Alcalytics values inventory based on the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We understand that inventory is likely your largest and most important current asset and that proper measurement of inventory is critical to ensure accurate financial statements. Alcalytics uses a complex set of algorithms, that you need not understand, to calculate and report on your inventory in the most accurate and efficient way possible.

Not at all. Our applications are compatible with any internet connected device with a modern web browser.

We have made the system as simple as possible. The system is almost completely automated and requires very little user intervention. Simply create your purchase orders in our system and let Alcalytics handle the rest.
