The Distilled Spirits Supply Chain (DSSC) Project is Oregon’s investment in modernizing the liquor marketplace to better serve Oregonians and the businesses it supports.
The project upgrades four main elements of our distribution and retail system:
- Warehouse Management System
- Digital management and control of warehouse operations.
- Enterprise Resource Planning System
- Business transaction platform for managing purchasing and accounting.
- On-line Ordering
- Digital management of orders from bars, restaurants and other licensees.
- Point-of-Sale system (POS)
- Manage sales transactions in Oregon’s liquor stores.
2026 Update to Point of Sale System Implementation
- As the project has evolved, the implementation team has found that the original POS system was not going to meet the needs of Oregon’s liquor stores.
- In response, liquor stores will have commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) platform for POS functionality. This approach reduces complexity and enables Oregon to implement a tailored POS solution.
- With the new COTS system, liquor agents won’t need to share non-distilled spirits sales data (e.g. soda, ice, etc.) with the state anymore—a win for operational flexibility!
What is NOT changing
- Warehouse management, business tools, and on-line ordering are on schedule and aligned with the completion of the Canby distribution center.
