Information Sharing-Narrowcast
A significant number of agents are already participating in the LCBO's Information Sharing Program. This program provides you with the data you need to:
- Proactively react to inventory issues;
- Note how your suppliers are shipping;
- Confirm receipt dates; and
- Follow up with your supplier to resolve issues.
Four reports were developed with input from our industry partners
who identified which information would be most useful to share. The reports are
updated and sent to you each week by e-mail. Each report is sent to you as a
separate email attachment in both html and Excel formats. Reports available
are: Purchase Order Summary, Purchase Order Status, Purchase Order Tracker, and
Inventory Report.
To receive the reports, you will need to meet the technical
requirements and complete a Terms and Conditions of Licence Form found below.
If you are already set up in the LCBO's Information Sharing
Program and need to make any changes or are facing any technical difficulties,
please contact MerchandisingSupport@lcbo.com
If you have been assigned more than one Agent number, you will
need to apply for narrowcast for each separate Agency account individually.
