This last fiscal year (July 2021-June 2022) was not easy. The beverage alcohol industry kept evolving in everything from distribution plans to instilling new delivery options to continuously (and safely) meet customer needs. Sovos ShipCompliant worked to ensure that our own clients were able to stay compliant and equipped for success amid tough circumstances.
Here are some key numbers from the past fiscal year (July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022) that tell the story of how we partnered with customers and integrated partners alike to enable mutually beneficial outcomes:
- In fiscal year 2022, the ShipCompliant product team delivered 80 releases and 468 product enhancements.
- We processed 215,216 brand registrations through our Product Registration Online (PRO) and Market Ready platforms.
- We handled nearly 800 million API calls.
- The AutoFile team generated more than 152,809 reports with the amount due to states totaling $84,933,735.65.
- We collaborated with more than 60 technology partners, including introducing an integration with Spirits360 that helps meet consumer demand for online shopping and doorstep delivery.
Educating on the latest industry trends
The beverage alcohol industry is ever-evolving, meaning there are always changing rules and regulations and new types of best practices for producers, shippers, importers and more. We strive to provide ample education opportunities and discussions on the latest trends.
