With the different types of technology at their fingertips, beverage alcohol retailers can better personalize marketing, automate routine tasks, determine customer demand and connect online and in-store operations. Point-of-sale systems, analytics, customer management, loyalty programs and ecommerce platforms continue to evolve as retailers look for ways to operate more efficiently.

That’ s why Beverage Dynamics continues publishing its annual Technology Buyer’ s Guide. The 2026 edition of the guide is broken down into five sections: POS, Finances and Analytics; Ecommerce; Loyalty, Education and Communications Programs; Digital Delivery Apps; and Category Management Solutions.

This year’ s guide retains the broad company list from the 2025 edition while updating company names, websites and product descriptions, removing companies and products that are no longer appropriate for the guide and adding newer technology providers that have entered or expanded in the beverage alcohol retail market. We hope you find this guide useful enough to keep around for reference and share with other business professionals in need of advice or contacts for tech.
