Montgomery County Department of Liquor Control has developed a rich internet web application that allows citizens to search for the availability of beverage alcohol products throughout our retail store system using real-time inventory and providing product and pricing details. Realized goals include providing to all customers 24x7 availability of product information, user-friendly search features and filters, rich details on products such as tasting notes, and food pairings, as well as a location-aware feature to determine the nearest store utilizing Google Maps. This program provides an efficient and innovative feature for consumers to maximize their shopping experience. Results of this program indicate that sales increase due to the user-friendly interface.
