Key Markets

Industrial Supplies Wholesale & Distribution

Drink wholesalers & distributors facing the challenges of selling and distributing fast moving, often low margin products, in increasingly competitive markets are looking for new ways to improve business efficiency. To be successful, companies have to explore every opportunity to drive down costs whilst delivering the right product, at the right price, at the right time...every time.

Trinity Computer Services Ltd has been providing computer systems to the Drink sector for over twenty years and understands both the challenges and the opportunities that a drink distribution business has to deal with every working day.

Wine Merchants

In addition to the functionality described above Wine Merchants need computer software that can handle the following types of transactions:

• Duty paid stock from your own warehouse
• Duty paid stock out of a bonded warehouse (often a 3rd party bond)
• Under bond (to another bonded location)
• Ex-cellars
• En primeur & paid reserves
• Commissioned sales

Each transaction type needs to be processed using a set of rules that ensures the appropriate prices, VAT and duty elements are charged correctly and are related to the correct elements of cost.

Trinity's specialist Microsoft Dynamics GPmodules for the wine trade address these requirements and much more besides.

With a 20 year pedigree of selling systems to the wine trade we have the experience and knowledge needed to deliver systems that address the complexities of buying and selling wine.

Breweries

In addition to the functionality described above breweries need software that allows them to manage:

• Pounds per barrel discount
• Returns and ullage
• End point duty

Additionally systems need to be able to grow to address the needs of:

• Manufacturing and production
• Property management
• EPOS

These requirements can be addressed either by Microsoft Dynamics GP modules or fully integrated third party products providing true flexibility for breweries wanting to grow their systems over time.
