There are several information TABS that provide even more information.

The SALES HISTORY tab displays item history in various formats. Our example shows sales history dating back to 1997 in a yearly summary for a chain of six stores. Notice you can SHOW the history daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. And if you are using Spirits 2000 multi-store polling, you can combine sales history for all locations or look at individual store history as in our example.

CUSTOMER sales history is especially important for retailers who are trying to target mailings and promotions to specific groups of customers. You can set up a courtesy card/club card system and use customer sales history to keep those customers coming back to your store. As an example, you can print a report showing all customers who have purchased a $25 bottle of wine or better in the last 3 months. You may consider this group of customers part of your wine club and offer them special promotions.

Use the BEVERAGE JOURNAL tab if your store is in NJ, NY or CT and you subscribe to ASI's monthly pricing service. Remember, the purchase order program will select the best deal for the quantity you need to order. Since you always have two month's worth of data loaded, the Suggested Purchase Order report can even tell you which month has the better deal! Certainly a time saver!

Hopefully, this gives you a good idea as to the ways Spirits 2000 can help you manage and control inventory. More information can be obtained by contacting the sales representative for your area. And, as always, Atlantic Systems appreciates your interest
