EDMONTON, AB CANADA – CX (Computronix) is pleased to announce that the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA) has selected, through a competitive procurement process, the POSSE ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) solution as its new regulatory assurance solution (RAS).
The LGCA regulates liquor sales, service and manufacturing; gaming employees, products and operations; cannabis sales and distribution; and horse racing in Manitoba. The organization administers more than 20,000 active licences and permits. Commercial licensing services are provided to restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, casinos, gaming industry employees, small businesses, gaming suppliers and service providers, liquor and gaming manufacturers, and retail cannabis stores. Charitable gaming events and eligible community-based events are issued licences and permits for activities that include social occasions and family celebrations, festivals, special events and charitable fundraisers. All horse racing participants, race track and betting theatres in Manitoba are licensed by the LGCA.
By selecting POSSE ABC, a pre-configured and customizable cloud-based enterprise system to manage its licensing, enforcement and education programs, and processes for regulatory and ad hoc reporting, the LGCA will be equipped to deliver all of its regulatory programs online.
“The LGCA’s current RAS was initially released more than 20 years ago solely as a gaming management system. This system grew for the additions of liquor and cannabis regulation while an independent system still manages our horse racing programs.
A new, fully-integrated, digital-first system will allow us to better support internal operations, meet legislated requirements for accessibility and French language services, and more easily accommodate legislative changes to the industries we regulate. Expanded and intuitive online and self-serve options will benefit both staff and clients, allowing applicants to monitor their progress through the licensing process and freeing up staff to provide customer service where it is needed most.”
Kristianne Dechant, Executive Director and CEO, LGCA
The LGCA’s RAS will be delivered in three phases:
With minimal customization, POSSE ABC’s configuration meets the LGCA’s exacting regulatory business requirements and will facilitate the organization to:
As the market leading solution for alcoholic beverage control and cannabis regulation, POSSE ABC provides full lifecycle value to the LGCA for this generation of Manitobans and the next. CX’s proven track record of innovation success across a diverse range of liquor, cannabis, and gaming control agencies demonstrates the POSSE Platform’s capabilities for streamlining and automating the full gamut of licensing and regulatory processes. We look forward to working with the team at the LGCA to achieve their vision for a robust RAS, leveraging POSSE ABC as their platform for innovation.
