"Susquehanna Sentry"

Since 1991, we have offered hardware and software systems for beer distributors and six-pack shops that handle all retail and wholesale functions as well as accounting and governmental reporting requirements.

In response to the increased demands of the marketplace, we have recently introduced the "Susquehanna Sentry" - a three tiered approach to minimize the damage that can be done by underage sales.

The "Sentry" interfaces with the SBS MALT BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTOR SOFTWARE SYSTEM or the SIXPACK SHOP MANAGER SOFTWARE SYSTEM, both of which run on any IBM compatible PC.

Tier I - Scan the drivers license

A reader scans the magnetic strip on the drivers license and verifies the information on the face of the license. The information is displayed on the computer screen, and the system verifies that the purchaser is of legal age. In addition, the ID information is permanently stored, along with a record of the products purchased, in the computer system. The system will also print a completed form PLCB-931 - Declaration of Age.

Currently, the system is capable of reading Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Florida and Maryland licenses. We add other states as information becomes available.

Tier II - Record the purchaser's image in video tape

An optional video system records the purchasers image, ID information and products purchased on video tape. The video also doubles as a security record.

Tier III - Keep a printed log of ID's checked and other activities

To make the video information easier to find on playback, add a printer which concurrently prints an index of ID's, voids, cash drawer openings, keg sales, etc.


PLCB Report

At Month-End, the system automatically prepares the PLCB report as well as the supporting schedules.


Multi-Tasking Increases Productivity

Multi-Tasking simply means that your computer can do more than one job at a time.

For Example:  You select a report to print.  With multi-tasking, you may continue to enter data or ring up sales while the report prints.  With single-tasking (which most systems are), you must wait until the report is printed before the system can be used again.


Multi-User Capability Allows Growth

This unique software allows single user systems to be upgraded to multi-user configurations.  The system will operate more than one register or work station at a time.  By using terminals rather than a network of additional computers, we offer the most economical and fastest multi-user system in the industry.
