AI for beer, wine and spirits wholesalers, tested on reports and filings your team already finished.

Your suppliers see your market through your reports. A supplier learns how its brands moved to retailers in your territory from the depletion report you send it, in its own layout, every month. Each report your team already sent is an answer key: the exports behind it, the report the supplier received, and any questions that came back.

Price filings run on the state's calendar. Where a state makes wholesalers post or file prices, the filing is due on a set day, and once it takes effect your reps sell at what you filed. Every filing your pricing manager already made, with the price book behind it, shows what a correct check would have caught.

The federal permit comes first. Federal law makes it unlawful to engage in the business of buying distilled spirits, wine or malt beverages for resale at wholesale without a basic permit from TTB, and 27 CFR 1.22 repeats that rule for wholesalers. In the states that sell spirits at wholesale through a state agency, the agency needs no such permit. Your state license and your state's rules then decide most of the paperwork on this page.

TTB's trade practice rules look at your sales to retailers. Under 27 CFR 6.11 a wholesaler is an industry member, just as a distiller, brewer or importer is. Part 6 reaches only dealings between industry members and retailers, not a sale from a producer to a wholesaler. For malt beverages it applies only as far as the state's own law imposes similar requirements, so a beer house reads its state's rules alongside the federal ones.

Shelf space is not for sale. TTB's Industry Circular 2012-01, on retailers' promotional programs, treats renting display space in a store as both an interest in the retailer's property and a payment for a display service, and calls making participation depend on preferred placement a slotting allowance, an unlawful means to induce. What 27 CFR 6.99 allows is narrower: your people may stock, rotate and price your own products at a retail account without disturbing anyone else's, and may hand over a recommended shelf plan, but may not reset a store or department.

State credit rules shape the later jobs. New York's State Liquor Authority tells liquor and wine wholesalers that a retailer given credit must pay in full by the date on that year's credit calendar, and that the beer and wine products calendar sets different delinquent dates from the wine and liquor one. A late retailer gets written notice by first class mail on or before the notification date, unless it agreed to email, and the delinquency is posted that day. Before every delivery the wholesaler checks the list, and a listed retailer buys cash on delivery only.

One limit covers every job here. The proof of concept never files or posts a price, never sends a report to a supplier, never changes a price or a credit term, and never contacts a supplier, retailer or regulator. It works only on copies. Nothing on this page is legal or regulatory advice; your compliance lead and counsel decide what a rule requires.
