In December, the
WVABCA Enforcement Division piloted an app, Intellicheck Age ID, which enables field agents to scan IDs.
The
WVABCA also works closely with colleges and universities, state and local law enforcement agencies, community coalitions and other organizations to promote messages centered on responsible drinking and serving.
During the 2015 fiscal year alone, the
WVABCA generated $94,152,428 in retail sales and sold a total of 707,651 cases.
Building on the success of the DUI Simulator Program, the
WVABCA last year launched "No School Spirits," which accepted PSA drunk-driving essays from high-school students.
To begin the process, the
WVABCA collaborated with its state's central office of technology.
"Our current system is over two decades old," says Gig Robinson, spokesman for the
WVABCA. "We decided to incorporate a lot of modernizations to enhance the distribution center.
At present, the
WVABCA has 1,992 regular codes for fisting and 969 active special order codes, up from 1,975 and 839, respectively.
Modernization of the Distribution Center is a priority project for the
WVABCA and is a contributing reason for the increased volume and sales.
All retail liquor stores now place orders on-line, promoting greater accuracy and more user-friendliness- Both stores and the general public can view all products and listings on the
WVABCA's website.
The
WVABCA has been re-bidding retail outlets licenses which expired on June 30, 2010.
At this time the
WVABCA is on the cusp of rebidding these licenses.
This new approach allows the
WVABCA to maintain a tighter inventory control by determining which product(s) comprise the ABCA Bailment Portfolio.
