• The WVABCA is nearing the completion of implementing a new e-Licensing
system. Once fi nalized the new system will allow licensees to access a secure
website to manage license renewals, submit a new license application and pay
fees o-line. The modernization of the licensing system will promote effi ciencies
in the licensing process and reduce staffi ng demands.
• Modernization of the Distribution Center continues and is now focused on
replacing the legacy inventory system that manages the inventory supply chain.
The new Bailment Control System (BCS) is an in-house system that will be
implemented in two phases starting in 2015. Once migration of core functionality
from our legacy inventory system has occurred we will move to surface
automation. The BCS will provide vendors with a self-serve model to interact
with the WVABCA and submit pricing and label information electronically.
