Case Study: Passion Vines achieves scalable multi-store growth and improved inventory-driven customer experience with Magstar Inc

Building a business during the recession and coming out on top

Passion Vines is a South Jersey wine and spirits retailer—voted Best Liquor Store in the region for three years—that grew from a single pub-turned-shop into a multi-location business but faced severe market disruption after Hurricane Sandy and the Atlantic City downturn. To scale operations and replace inadequate point-of-sale, inventory and accounting tools, Passion Vines selected Magstar Inc’s Magstar Total Retail ERP to provide a sturdy, end-to-end retail management platform.

Magstar Inc implemented Magstar Total Retail across Passion Vines’ stores, centralizing sales, inventory and back-office processes to enable smarter replenishment, store-specific merchandising and faster distribution. The system reduced time spent on mundane tasks, improved stock availability and helped the retailer remain profitable and expand through difficult market conditions, while freeing staff to focus on customer experience.
