(POS) software that handles all of this? In fact,
there is. And we are Canadian!
Lightspeed is a Montreal-based POS system which

the world to achieve business success. Established

with over 250 certified partners worldwide, and with
a recent investment of $250 million from Caisse de

VinStream is an Okanagan-based membership
management software which integrates to Lightspeed POS
creating a complete platform for the wine industry. Founder
and CEO of VinStream, Tasha Da Silva, proudly boasts that
the Lightspeed-VinStream combination is superior because
of its centralized inventory and seamless integration of all
sales activities, from the warehouse and front counter to
online and mobile devices.
VinStream allows wineries to sell and manage their
wine club memberships, batch process club payments
and automatically assign member discounts for in-store
purchases. Additionally, it auto-creates Doc 60s used
for licensees and simplifies the direct sales reporting
mandated by the B.C. liquor board for compliance.
VinStream can be used by more than just a winery or
brewery. It is adaptable to any business with a membership
or subscription offering. This all-in-one solution provides
a leading edge on technology that can take a winery from
a seasonal operation to a year-round business model with
a strong digital sales strategy. The advanced features of
Lightspeed plus VinStream gives managers and small
business owners the ability to operate with big ambitions. o
