Comprehensive Item Tracking for Liquor Stores
mPower Beverage offers a powerful, document-based system that tracks every action taken on an item. Every time an item is interacted with, it is automatically recorded, giving you a comprehensive view of your inventory. With robust reporting features and detailed item screens, you can dive deep into your products and make data-driven decisions. Here’s how the item screen can enhance your inventory management:

- UPC
- SKU
- Department
- Size
- Case Pack
You also have the flexibility to track producer, varietal, and other customizable fields. These fields allow you to get more in-depth information on your reports.

The various tabs available in this screen give you the ability to go beyond the item itself and gain deeper insights into your inventory. Let’s take a closer look at some of these features.
