Staying on top of critical information like licensing, retail banner membership and ownership changes is no small feat. That’s why the Drinks Association’s National Liquor Licence & Retail Banner Database is an invaluable tool for suppliers, distributors and wholesalers.
Consolidating national data into a single, easy-to-use platform, the database provides everything you need to manage your business efficiently and uncover new opportunities.
A complete view of liquor licence data
The liquor licence database goes beyond simply listing licence details to offer a comprehensive resource for the sector. It provides:
- Real-time updates: Track new, transferred, surrendered and suspended licences as they happen.
- Banner group insights: Identify retail banner memberships linked to specific venues.
- Ownership changes: Stay informed about changes across the industry.
- ABN integration: Simplify credit checks with direct access to ABN details for a large proportion of businesses.
Streamlined operations for your team
Designed to simplify business processes, the database supports day-to-day tasks such as customer data management, rebate reconciliation and territory mapping. With an API connection capability, data can be seamlessly integrated into your internal systems, saving time and reducing errors.
Additionally, the database supports unlimited users per subscription, ensuring every member of your team has access to the information they need.
Insights you can act on
One of the most valuable aspects of the database is its ability to deliver actionable insights through weekly and monthly movement reports. These reports provide consolidated updates on licence movements and retail banner group changes, helping businesses make informed decisions with ease.
The Licence Movement Report, published every Friday, summarises new licences, transfers and suspensions, giving you a snapshot of changes as they happen. The Retail Banner Movement Report, published monthly, assists with reconciling rebates and claims.
