Your Store’s Success Depends on Secure, Efficient IT
At Ekim IT Solutions, we specialize in helping Maine liquor stores overcome the unique operational challenges of the beverage retail industry. From automating your weekly tobacco rebate process to launching online ordering and syncing monthly pricing data, we provide the technology and support you need to focus on what matters most, serving customers and increasing your bottom line.
Are These IT & Operational Issues Hurting Your Profits and Efficiency?
If you offer two-pack discounts on cigarettes from Altria or R.J. Reynolds, you know the rebate process is a nightmare. Weekly forms, impossible formatting, and constant back-and-forth with the tobacco companies. We automate this process so you can run deals seamlessly, submit the correct data automatically each week, and boost sales without wasting hours on paperwork.
Today’s customers expect convenient online options. From browsing live inventory to placing pickup or delivery orders. Whether you already have an e-commerce solution or need one built from scratch, we integrate with any POS system (including jpos) to display accurate stock levels, toggle out-of-stock items, and even set threshold-based alerts for auto-ordering. Expand your reach and maximize profits.
Manual pricing updates are a tedious chore, requiring multiple Excel files, formatting nightmares, and wasted staff hours. We sync Maine Spirits pricing directly to your website or POS, automating the entire process. No more errors, repetitive uploads, or staff frustration. Just up-to-date prices every month.
Running multiple stores often means running separate reports seven times over which wastes time and risking data errors. Our centralized reporting dashboard pulls data from all your locations into one unified view, so you can track sales, inventory, and margins instantly. Make data-driven decisions across every store without the headache of manual consolidation.
IT Services Tailored to the Needs of Maine Liquor Stores
Automate Tobacco Rebates & Promotions
Stop drowning in weekly rebate paperwork and complicated formatting. Our custom-built solutions connect directly with Altria and R.J. Reynolds, automatically sending accurate sales data to secure your two-pack discount reimbursements on time, every time. Enjoy higher sales and fewer administrative hassles.
Online Ordering & Live Inventory Management
Whether you’re using jpos or any other POS system, we create seamless e-commerce integrations that offer live stock visibility, dynamic tagging of in- or out-of-stock items, and threshold-based reorder alerts. Launch online ordering for pickup or delivery, manage multi-location inventory with ease, and grow your customer base without overextending your staff.
Automated Maine Spirits Pricing Sync
Tired of downloading and converting monthly price sheets from Maine Spirits? Our pricing sync tool imports all the new data into your POS or website automatically. Eliminating manual data entry, costly errors, and staff burnout. Stay compliant with state pricing requirements and avoid confusion at checkout.
Centralized Multi-Location Reporting & Dashboards

We unify your POS data into one real-time dashboard, giving you a bird’s-eye view of sales, margins, top-selling SKUs, and more. Make smarter decisions faster, and scale confidently across all your stores.

Why Maine Liquor Stores Trust Ekim IT Solutions
Deep Understanding of the Beverage Retail Landscape
We focus on serving Maine liquor stores and know the day-to-day hurdles you face. Whether it’s complicated tobacco rebates or coordinating beer, wine, and spirits pricing across different vendors. For example, if your manager is scrambling to update pricing before a busy weekend, a single spreadsheet error can cost you hundreds in lost revenue. We proactively optimize your systems, so you can maintain accurate pricing, automate rebate forms, and never miss a sales opportunity.
24/7 Support with Lightning-Fast Response Times
Because liquor store issues don’t wait for office hours, our around-the-clock support tackles urgent problems like a POS crash during a Friday night rush or a misconfiguration in your e-commerce system. If your staff loses access to the register at 8 p.m., we’ll get you back online fast, helping you avoid angry customers and lost sales.
No Long-Term Contracts, Just Real Results
We believe in earning your business every single day, not locking you into extended agreements. Why? Because IT for liquor stores isn’t just about servers and software, it’s about automating processes, boosting operational efficiency, and increasing revenue through smart technology solutions. We secure your data, streamline daily tasks, and make sure your POS from jpos to any other platform runs smoothly. No contracts, no wasted budget, just IT solutions that drive profits.
Local Expertise You Can Rely On
Managing beer, wine, spirits, and tobacco in Maine is complex, and protecting it demands a specialized knowledge of local pricing and rebate systems. While other providers split focus across industries, we’ve built a deep understanding of Maine’s liquor retail scene. Our local presence means fast, on-site support if a remote fix isn’t enough. Partner with us for an IT team that doesn’t just know technology, we understand liquor stores.
