Wines & Spirits Quality Intelligence

Every bottle tasted,
tracked and protected.

Taste. Track. Protect.

LIQUIDIQ is the operating system for drinks distributors. Stock, tasting panels, batch traceability and customer claims in one record, so a fault found on the bench points at the delivery that caused it and the money it puts at risk.

01   The problem

The stock report was
never the whole story.

An ERP extract tells you how many cases are available. It does not tell you which of them is oxidising, which lot a customer keeps returning, what the stock is really worth, or when the panel last opened a bottle. That knowledge sits in a workbook, an inbox and somebody's memory.

01

Value understated

Most systems value the cases marked available, not the cases on the floor. The difference is usually six figures.

02

Faults untraceable

Without a lot number, a confirmed fault means pulling the whole item number rather than the delivery that caused it.

03

Claims uncounted

Three customers reporting the same bottle in one month is a pattern nobody sees when claims live in an inbox.

02   What it does

One record per bottle,
from receipt to claim.

Wine and spirits share a platform but not a rulebook. A vodka is never rated against a rosรฉ's sampling interval.

Portfolio

Every SKU, every location

Stock across all warehouses, with expiry banding, bin allocation and storage temperature against the target for each style.

Valuation

What it is actually worth

Unit cost derived from the ERP figure and applied to every case on hand. Value at risk by expiry band, location, style and brand.

Tasting

A panel that runs on schedule

Sampling intervals per style, the five stage tasting sequence for wine, and a permanent history that survives every refresh.

Review

Eighteen points for spirits

Bottle, closure, fill line, liquid, palate, storage and packaging. Adverse findings are counted, not just noted.

Batches

Traceable to the delivery

Lot numbers with their own best-by dates, reconciled against the stock figure so the gap is never silent.

Claims

The customer loop, closed

Supermarkets, hotels, bars and restaurants report against the product, with photographs, bottles affected and the value in dispute.

03   How it works

It reads your ERP.
It does not replace it.

Weekly

Drop in the extract

The purchase report loads in and reconciles against what is already there.

  • Matched, new and missing item numbers reported before anything is applied
  • Anything that moved more than 25% flagged for review
  • Nothing the team keyed is ever overwritten
Daily

The team works the queues

Everyone signs in, and every entry is stamped with their name.

  • Action required, ranked: expired, critical, too warm, overdue
  • Tasting and review worklists in priority order
  • Claims logged against the product, with photographs

Website and app from one build

Installs to a phone home screen, opens without a signal, and updates the moment the server does. No app store queue.

Runs on one small server

No dependencies, no database server to provision. The whole thing is one file and one database you can copy.

04   Who it is for

Distributors who carry
more than they can taste.

Built for a wine and spirits book of several hundred item numbers across multiple warehouses, where quality is a commercial risk and not just a preference.

05   Security

Your book stays yours.

Separated at the database

Every row carries an organisation. One client cannot read or write another's records, inventory, claims or people. Enforced on the server, not in the browser.

Roles that mean something

Viewer, Taster, Manager, Administrator. A viewer's write is refused by the API even if the interface is bypassed entirely.

A full audit trail

Every tasting, batch, claim, image and status change is stamped with who made it and when, and kept through every refresh.
