Maine Stockroom Tutorial & Help
Use this guide from top to bottom for first-time setup, or jump directly to the feature you need. Your progress is saved only in this browser.
1. Create your account and sign in
Maine Stockroom uses passwordless email codes. Enter your email, enter the code sent to you, then continue to your workspace.
2. Secure your account
Open the Security Center and add a passkey using your device fingerprint, face, screen lock or device PIN. You can add more than one as a backup.
3. Create and verify your business workspace
Choose your business type, enter your current liquor-license information, and complete your business profile. Maine Stockroom uses this information to control the correct retailer, wholesaler or on-premise workflows.
4. Track inventory and stock counts
Search products by name, Maine item code or UPC. Start tracking the products you carry, then record purchases, sales, counts, damage or loss. Set a reorder point for each product.
5. Use the dated Maine Spirits catalog
Use the catalog to check current item codes, sizes, state retail prices, agent costs and monthly specials. Maine Stockroom records the source month and checks official price files daily.
6. Restock and compare buying options
Review items at or below their reorder levels, adjust suggested quantities, save order sheets and use the Buying Desk to compare products, specials, price-watch items and supplier services.
7. Connect and communicate through Trade Network
Use a supplier connection code to request a trade relationship. After approval, use private messages, product-linked questions, order-linked conversations, secure files, announcements and notification settings.
8. Create and manage business orders
Orders between connected businesses use the current catalog and approved relationship. Review status history, advance eligible orders and keep product/order conversations attached in Trade Network.
9. Invoices and payment records
Completed business orders can generate invoices. Keep item totals, deposits, taxes and recorded payments together. Recording a payment documents it; Maine Stockroom does not move liquor-order funds.
10. Use reports and activity history
Review inventory value, purchases, sales, low-stock counts, product activity and report packets. Download supported records for bookkeeping or operational review.
11. Import and export supported records
Use supported CSV formats to move inventory and activity records without retyping every line. Review imported data before relying on reports.
12. Add your team safely
Business owners can invite managers, staff and viewers. Each person signs in with their own email. Remove access promptly when someone leaves the business.
13. Ask Maine Stockroom AI
Use the floating Ask AI button in your workspace. Try questions such as “What should I reorder today?”, “Which current specials affect my inventory?”, “Which orders need attention?” or “How do I use the Trade Network?”
14. Use Maine liquor laws & licensing resources
The Laws & Licensing center links to Title 28-A, BABLO licensing, BELLS, administrative rules, seller/server training, spirits operations and Bottle Bill resources. Monitored official pages are checked automatically for changes.
15. Manage your subscription
One business membership covers the business workspace and its team. Use the Subscription page to start or manage membership and open the Stripe billing portal when available.
16. Private owner testing
The site owner has a separate protected testing sign-in. It is not a customer login and is restricted to the private test workspace.
