The problem

  • Route reps quoted from stale spreadsheets; short-dated stock and pricing errors bled margin every week.
  • No customer database of record — three sales channels, three definitions of a retailer.
  • Cash & carry counter used a POS that could not enforce age verification or tiered wholesale pricing.

Our approach

  1. 1

    Discovery (Weeks 1–2)

    Mapped SKUs, retailer master data, and every sales motion (route, will-call, B2B portal).

  2. 2

    Platform (Weeks 3–6)

    Rolled out unified wholesale POS + CRM with tiered pricing, age gating, and route-sales mobile app.

  3. 3

    Portal (Weeks 7–9)

    Launched B2B ordering portal with real-time inventory, credit terms, and reorder suggestions.

  4. 4

    Analytics (Weeks 10–12)

    Sell-through dashboards for buyers and brand partners, with weekly retailer scorecards.
