K&L Wine Merchants

Sells thousands of the world’s finest wines at competitive prices.
Established in 1976. Website and 3 stores in California.
Maverick automated all stores as well as the website, creating one of the first sites to sell wine online. Maverick helped develop the client’s customized cloud-based system in 2002—long before other specialty retailers even knew what “the cloud” was. As a result, all stores and website inventories are managed in one central database, providing real-time updated inventory, sales and customer purchases, and eliminating the need for data synchronization among the stores and website.

“We are so pleased that your company helped us to be positioned well for the major changes in the retail marketplace.”

Supplies uniforms and sporting goods equipment to schools, athletic leagues and the public.
Established in 1937. Website and 1 store in California.
Maverick automated the store, enabling the client to track all orders and monies for the many accounts they service. Previously, manually processed orders would get lost and never get paid for goods and services rendered.

“We never thought we could automate our store and keep good records for both our walk-in customers and our ‘on account’ customers.”

Offers high-quality snowsports gear for sale or rental, as well as equipment tuning and repair services. Also sells outdoor furniture and accessories for home and business.
Established in 1975. Website and 2 stores in California.
Maverick automated the flagship store as well as the website. Maverick developed an open-to-buy program that helped the client buy the correct amount of inventory for the upcoming ski season, preventing excess end-of-season inventories that would have to be marked down.

“Whenever we call Maverick they are always available for support and any of our needs for the store or website.”

Sells high-quality furniture and jewelry on consignment.
Established in 1996. Website and 17 stores in California, Nevada and Texas.
Maverick automated all stores on a custom point-of-sale system. Maverick automated the client’s customer check-writing process (30K/month) with custom QuickBooks processing and approval workflows. At least ten other consulting firms had attempted to solve this process, to no avail.

Sells upscale, high-quality luggage and travel products.
Established in 1946. Website and 4 stores in California.
Maverick automated all stores and assisted with automation of the website. The client requested a unique “just in time” inventory buy program that Maverick wrote in 2006 — and that they use to this day — increasing inventory turns and margins.
