2. Project Objectives

  • Centralize and automate operations: inventory, manufacturing, events, compliance, and reporting.

  • Support alcohol production traceability and regulatory reporting.

  • Enable team collaboration for sales, events, shop management, and licensing.

  • Provide a scalable foundation for future phases (POS, eCommerce, integrations).
