“ WE ’ RE SAVING OUR CLIENTS SO MUCH MONEY BY ENABLING THEM TO GO THROUGH A TIGHTLY MANAGED ONLINE BUYING EXPERIENCE ”
— Steve Markle , CEO , BirchStreet Systems
Softlinx in late 2017 , BirchStreet increased its worldwide success rate by 20 %. And through BirchStreet ’ s partnership with CapGemini , the pair offers Accounts Payable as a Service ( ApaaS ) to joint customers such as FourSeasons . APaaS is a fully standardized and automated business process for end-to-end invoice process .
In addition to automating the goods receiving process , BirchStreet provides its customers with a patented specialized inventory function . “ The service ’ s unmatched take-inventory capabilities allow you to grab a bottle of liquor and wave it in front of your mobile device ,” Markle elaborates . “ Our mobile app will recognize the shape of the bottle and branding and allows you to take inventory , including partial bottle inventory by moving the fill-line on the bottle image that automatically appears on your mobile screen . Think of the more expensive scotches , or a bottle of Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac and you quickly understand the power of this quick , easy and accurate inventory management tool . You potentially have a lot of capital locked up in beverage inventory , particularly when you consider the final selling price per pour .” Expanding further on this proprietary technology , Markle continues : “ Once you have the contour of the bottle saved to the system – and some weirdly shaped bottles are hard to calculate by eye – our patented technology always recognises the shape of the bottle . All you do is swipe your finger where the liquid line is and it ’ ll automatically calculate how much volume you have .” Markle maintains that BirchStreet ’ s inventory software has the potential to revolutionize waste mitigation in high-value beverage management .
