Why now

## The industry is changing — fast.

The brands that win the next decade will run on a system, not a scramble.

[Why we're building SipScale →](https://www.sipscale.ai/about?hsLang=en)

1. 01
   
   **Fewer, bigger distributors.**More brands fighting for attention in every book. Arrive organized, with proof.
2. 02
   
   **More brands, less shelf.**RTDs, non-alc and craft have crowded every category. Keeping a placement takes data.
3. 03
   
   **Drinkers are changing.**Moderation and new occasions move demand faster than annual plans.
4. 04
   
   **The rules keep moving.**Shipping, label and advertising rules change — differently in every state.
5. 05
   
   **Margins are tighter.**Packaging, freight and trade spend keep rising. Know your real margin.
6. 06
   
   **Teams are leaner.**The business can't live in one person's head or spreadsheet.

Your data

## Your business. Your data.

### Isolated at the database, not the interface

 Each brand's workspace is separated by row-level security policies in the database itself — so the boundary holds even if the application is wrong.

### Your records, exportable

 Your documents and data belong to you. If you leave, you take them with you — we don't hold your licenses hostage to a renewal conversation.

### Not sold, not pooled

 We don't sell customer data, and we won't fold your numbers into a benchmark product without asking you first.

Questions

## Before the first sip.

Do we have to move everything at once?

 No, and most don't. Brands usually start with compliance and documents — the part that carries real risk — and keep selling out of whatever they use today. As more modules ship, they move across when it makes sense. The record underneath is the same either way, so nothing has to be re-entered later. 

Is SipScale big enough for us? Is it too big?

 A brand pre-launch in 1 state uses 4 modules. A national portfolio uses most of them. You switch on what you need, and the system doesn't show you screens for work you're not doing yet. If you're a distributor rather than a brand, we're not the right fit today — we'll tell you that rather than sell you a seat. 

Does it replace our ERP?

 That's the intent, and it's honest to say the supply-chain modules — Planning, Purchasing, Production, Inventory, Orders, Fulfillment and Costs — are on the roadmap rather than live today. What is live is the compliance, document and company-record layer that an ERP has never covered well for beverage. If you already run an ERP, SipScale sits alongside it until those modules land. 

Who actually does the filings?

 You do, or your counsel or compliance partner does. SipScale tells you what is required, what is outstanding, what is blocking a launch and when it's due, and it keeps the documents and the history. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice — and we'd be suspicious of any platform in this category that claimed otherwise. 

How much work is onboarding?

 Less than you'd expect, because we do it with you rather than handing you an empty system. You send the documents you already have — licenses, COLAs, agreements — and we load them, set up your entities and identifiers, and match your markets to their requirement sets. That's why early access is a limited number of brands at a time. 

What does it cost?

 Pricing scales with the stage you're at — a pre-launch brand in 1 market pays very differently from a portfolio in 30. Early-access pricing is agreed directly, so tell us where you are on the [brand interest form](https://www.sipscale.ai/contact?hsLang=en) and we'll give you a real number rather than a range that means nothing. 

Who owns the data?

 You do. Each brand's workspace is isolated by database-level row security rather than by the interface, your records are exportable, and we don't sell customer data or pool it into a benchmark product without asking first.
