Gain Alcohol Sales Data With iControl’s POS Insights

On-premise beverage alcohol sales represent half of the $250 billion annual alcohol sales in the U.S. and, until now, they have not been tracked. That’s why our team at iControl created POS Insights, a cloud-based, syndicated alcohol sales data solution to provide alcohol brand businesses with previously unavailable insights about their on-premise business. This solution holds the largest set of on-premise alcohol sales data available in the U.S. market —covering beer, wine, and spirits categories across over 35,000 bars and restaurants in all 50 states.
