United Liquors, Ltd. invested $5.5 Million Dollars implementing an innovative sophisticated and automated warehouse management system. The system creates efficiencies that result in retailer satisfaction and brand building with customers.

Delivering satisfaction through innovation begins with the ability to load and deliver 70,000 cases a day to our customers in the Massachusettes market. This has been made possible through the investment in such state of the art elements as Sayceo software, radio frequency controlled equipment and the Conveyco automated system resulting in inventory control and maximum efficiencies in loading and timely delivery.


The warehouse in our Braintree headquarters is 460,000 sq ft with 64 loading doors. This type of investment creates efficiencies in accepting deliveries from our supplier vendors and the delivery of ULL brands to retail. We have 100 delivery units; the oldest vehicle in our fleet is 2000 and the newest vehicles are 2004. The fleet consists of box trucks and trailers, operated by 85 CDL licensed drivers. The average tenure of our drivers is 14 years.

The ULL distribution department handles 7,000 SKU’s with a wide range of brands in all categories Beer, Wine and Spirits. This translates to a warehouse capacity of 800,000 cases but we did not stop there, we have a 10,000 sq ft tempature controlled unit for our fine wine inventory.

For over 50 years, United Liquors has had a solid working relationship with the Teamsters. The result is a workforce with high morale and a ‘can do attitude’ regarding the warehousing and distribution segment of our organization.
