Why Live Beverage Monitoring?
Know WHEN and WHERE your losses are occurring
The Sentry Variance Manager software
provides the tools, graphs and reports to enable
Management and Control of your Beverage environment.
The Sentry
Variance Manager
(SVM) is a Bev-Q
Australian developed software package linking the Sentry Beverage Security
system to a wide range of Point of Sale Systems.
SVM is a Microsoft Access based program and can be installed on
any computer that operates on MS Windows 98, 2000, XP or NT. SVM
acts as a
“middle-man” polling both Sentry for actual product use and your POS system
for your sales data.
Key Benefits
- The
Sentry product line provides Clubs and Hotels with timely and accurate
information required to
manage their operations in a more effective and profitable manner.
-
Sentry offers unsurpassed control through live
comparisons of actual usage to sales, detailing variances by brand,
quantity, location and specific time ranges. This information allows
you to objectively measure the performance of your bartenders.
Simply put, Sentry provides accountability.
- Sentry
control is focused on draught beer and electronically dispensed
spirits, which as the most commonly sold items require the most
scrutiny.
- Because
Sentry operates on a live basis, inventory control is not dependent on
traditional month-end stocktaking procedures, which can only detect
losses long after they have occurred.

POS INTERFACES
SVM offers a rich diversity of Point of

recognize the benefits of linking their software to a robust monitoring
environment.
This allows the Hotel or Club to stay with their preferred POS system, or
install the POS system which will best service their needs.
