LibDib, the leading web-based alcohol distributor, proudly announces its recognition for “Best Technology Innovation” by Beverage Wholesaler in their prestigious Distributor Best Practices Awards. This accolade underscores LibDib’s commitment to transforming the beverage alcohol industry through cutting-edge technology, specifically the company’s LibTech SaaS division.
“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this recognition as it’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the beverage distribution space,” said Richard Brashears, COO of LibDib and General Manager of the LibTech Division. “Our mission has always been to transform the industry through cutting-edge technology and this recognition affirms that we have built the leading platform. The LibTech division now brings this platform to any beverage alcohol industry player.”
Beverage Wholesaler announced their first annual Distributor Best practice Awards, in their Winter 2024 issue. The awards honor wholesaler leaders who have demonstrated innovation in running efficient, successful operations. LibDib’s technology innovation award was featured alongside other winning distributors including Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) for Best Sustainability Initiative, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits for Best On-Premise Activation Program, Breakthru Beverage Group for Best Workforce Development Program, and Columbia Distributing for Best Warehouse Innovation.
“It’s an honor to be recognized alongside the most prestigious names in distribution,” said Cheryl Durzy, Founder and CEO of LibDib. “This truly validates the hard work and innovation that has gone into building our platform and affirms our approach to technology-driven distribution.”
As both a technology provider and licensed wholesale distributor, LibDib has revolutionized the industry with its robust online platform. This platform offers legal three-tier distribution to any wine or spirits supplier, seamlessly integrating distribution, online ordering, reporting, and AI-enabled sales tools. The result is an unparalleled data-driven experience for suppliers and buyers alike.
Currently, LibDib provides online distribution across 16 markets, with plans to expand into additional markets soon. The platform supports over 15,000 products from 1,500 suppliers, marking a significant milestone as the first distributor to offer such extensive access to any supplier.
In 2019, LibDib began licensing its platform to RNDC, the industry’s second-largest wholesaler. This collaboration has facilitated over $1.8 billion in orders. Building on this success, LibDib launched LibTech in 2024, a dedicated division focused on making their proven platform available to other three-tier businesses. LibTech has already gained traction with mid-sized wholesalers and suppliers nationwide. Recently, Best Brands, a leading statewide distributor in Tennessee, adopted LibDib’s technology to enhance their online distribution and data capabilities.
Beverage Wholesaler is the leading publication for the beverage alcohol industry, dedicated exclusively to wholesalers, distributors, and brokers. Reaching over 6,500 decision-makers nationwide, it serves as a critical resource for the beer, wine, and distilled spirits sectors.
