ERP Resources for Licensees

The PLCB has implemented NEW SYSTEMS transforming its business from a traditional retail model to a wholesale/distribution, e-commerce and retail-focused business. Release 1 of Project New Horizon - our new enterprise resource planning platform - went live in January 2022, providing new finance and non-merchandise procurement systems. Release 2 went live July 2023, providing new systems that separate our wholesale and retail lines of business, changing the ways we procure wines and spirits, plan wholesale distribution, replenish stores and manage inventory and accounting. We now also have a new Licensee Online Order Portal (LOOP) and a new and improved FWGS.com.

**Effective Monday, July 3, all licensees MUST use LOOP to place orders for pickup at FW&GS stores and LSCs. Orders will no longer be accepted by phone, fax or email.**

Please be advised that our new LOOP platform works best with the following browsers: Safari, Chrome and Firefox.

EXPLORE OUR TRAINING RESOURCES! We've developed a series of quick reference guides (QRGs), eLearning videos and step by steps for licensees on how to use the new LOOP. In all, there are 11 eLearning videos that will take 30-40 minutes to review.
