NLCC serves a growing population of 1.9M+ citizens and is responsible for the administration of more than 11,000 active retail licenses. POSSE ABC will replace the State’s outdated system requiring 69 discreet process steps to issue a license, in favor of a fully integrated web-based alcoholic beverage control system for licensing, permitting, compliance, enforcement, education, training, brand registration, and more.

Powered by POSSE, an award-winning workflow automation platform, POSSE ABC will equip NLCC to streamline and support critical business processes including business rules automation, information management, business intelligence, citizen self-services, GIS integration, and mobile capabilities.

“The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission is pleased to confirm our selection of the POSSE ABC system from Computronix as the preferred solution for our Centralized Alcohol Management Project (CAMP). A proven alcoholic beverage control solution with deep feature off-the-shelf capabilities, POSSE ABC will enable us to rapidly modernize our licensing and reporting services (both internally and externally) within the framework of a centralized services initiative designed to improve our customer services, increase our operational efficiencies and revenues, and strengthen our industry engagement and education.”
LeAnna Prange, Deputy Director, Nebraska Liquor Control Commission

“Computronix is grateful for the opportunity to provide Nebraskans with exceptional taxpayer value with the implementation of our market-leading POSSE ABC solution. POSSE ABC’s proven track record of innovation success across a diverse range of liquor, cannabis, and gaming control agencies demonstrates this solution’s capabilities for streamlining and automating the full gamut of liquor control processes.

Oregon Liquor & Cannabis Commission Selects POSSE ABC Solution for Marijuana and Liquor Licensing & Compliance System (MLLC)

 

DENVER, Colorado – Computronix is pleased to announce that the Oregon Liquor & Cannabis Commission (OLCC) has chosen the POSSE ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) solution as the platform for the State of Oregon’s marijuana and liquor licensing and compliance system (MLLC).

OLLC’s selection of POSSE ABC is the first step of a multi-phase, multi-year program to replace inefficient or aging licensing systems. POSSE ABC’s off-the-shelf licensing services and automation assisted workflows will equip OLCC to support critical business processes.

OLCC’s selection of POSSE ABC replaces the state’s aging business systems and antiquated paper processes used for the review and processing of more than 15,000 liquor licenses annually. The Computronix solution will instead provide a fully integrated web-based system for licensing, permitting, enforcement, education, label registration and all activities related to alcohol and cannabis regulation.

“Maintaining and operating existing disparate systems is time consuming, expensive, and subject to failure. These legacy systems and processes are also segregated and lack consistent data flow which makes the systems susceptible to errors, redundant data entry, and poor data quality. Our implementation of the POSSE ABC system from Computronix will provide us the necessary system and tools to achieve our long-term goals for high performance service delivery.”
Boba Subasic, Chief Information Officer, OLCC

“One of the reasons we chose POSSE ABC is because the solution gathers all the information from the license or permit and makes it easy to view all in one system. The life of the license or permit is stored from initial application to final disposition including renewals, compliance activity, moves from one location to another, and name or ownership changes (within retention limits, of course). Individuals who have an interest in more than one business will be able to access their information – alcohol or cannabis, all from the same screen. What I’m looking forward to most is providing our customers a one-stop shop to access their online account and see all their history at the tips of their fingers available on mobile and their computer.”
Christie Scott, Project Management, Vendor Relations, and Solution Delivery Manager, OLCC

“Our team looks forward to working closely with the Oregon Liquor & Cannabis Commission to help the state achieve its forward-thinking vision to streamline processes administering the manufacture, distribution and sale of alcohol and marijuana with the utmost compliance to ensure public safety and consumer protections. As the market leading solution for alcoholic beverage control and cannabis regulation, POSSE ABC provides full lifecycle value to the OLCC for this generation of Oregonians and the next.”

Nestled at the confluence of the Ottawa, Gatineau and Rideau rivers in the unceded Algonquin Anishinabek territory and home to over one million residents, the City of Ottawa is the Nation’s Capital and fourth largest municipality in Canada. A single-tier municipality responsible for all municipal services, the City will leverage POSSE LMS to streamline the issuance of over 100 permit and license types, increasing public access via a bilingual resident services portal and an integrated mobile application for inspectors to enhance efficiencies in the field.

Powered by the award-winning POSSE Platform, a robust workflow automation engine, POSSE LMS will enable the City of Ottawa to improve service desk and paper-based processes, streamlining land management services to maximize future economic development opportunities and infrastructure growth.

DENVER, Colorado – Hamilton County’s Environmental Health Division has expanded its usage of the POSSE software platform in anticipation of the emergent need for effective COVID-19 vaccine and materials distribution. The expanded solution provides tracking, reporting and fulfillment capabilities to enable the efficient management of essential materials such as N95 surgical masks, respirators, and other items crucial for maintaining public health for the 338,000+ citizens of Hamilton County, Indiana.

Building upon the robust vaccine management capabilities of their existing ‘Powered by POSSE’ solution, originally developed for the H1N1 virus, Computronix worked quickly with Hamilton County to fast-track this augmented solution, progressing from development to launch in a scant six days!

Anticipating an eventual influx of COVID-19 vaccine and material stocks from both the Strategic National Stockpile as well as private companies and donations, the expanded system equips Hamilton County’s proactive Environmental Health Division to efficiently expedite the distribution of materials critical for stopping the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, real-time data gleaned from the system’s inventory management and vendor traceability processes enable Hamilton County to provide state government stakeholders with timely information to help inform future decisions on vaccine management, ‘Stay at Home’ orders, and other critical pandemic response tactics—crucial information given how the COVID-19 situation can vary both situationally and between regions.

Led by Environmental Health Director, Jason LeMaster, Hamilton County’s continued expansion of the POSSE software platform continues a journey that first began when rapid response to the H1N1 virus prompted the County to, “turn ourselves into a warehouse for receiving and redistributing in about a week with POSSE,” says LeMaster. That effective foray into vaccine and inventory management continued Hamilton County’s expanded usage of POSSE as a core resource for data management and workflow automation. “There’s not one thing we do in our office, data management wise, that doesn’t use POSSE.”

Building upon its initial footprint, as a data management solution for the Health, Survey and Highway and Building departments in 1999, Hamilton County has since expanded POSSE’s business process and workflow automation capabilities into areas as diverse as the Parks and Recreation Department, Community Corrections Department, and Parcel Tax system, as well as the aforementioned Environmental Health Division.

Acknowledging that a six-day turnaround is an impressive accomplishment for technology innovation of this complexity, LeMaster gave credit to the County’s enterprise software solution provider, Computronix, for their ability to expedite the solution, as well as their internal IT department for trusting and empowering individual business unit leaders. “Our IT department supports us, and they know how important it is when a particular mission, like this one, has to get done.” emphasizes LeMaster. “IT let us take the lead, when we need to be the one to take the project lead.”

In moving quickly and effectively to ensure their citizens will have safe and timely access to COVID-19 vaccines and materials, as they’re made available, Hamilton County’s Environmental Health Division is certainly taking the lead at a time when decisive actions and efficient technology can legitimately save lives.
