Where We’re Different
Beverage retail is all we do
KORONA POS serves convenience stores, bakeries, ticket booths, wineries, and liquor stores. mPower serves one vertical: beer, wine, and spirits retail. That focus means every feature, every workflow, and every support conversation is rooted in how liquor stores actually operate. No generic retail compromises.
AI that learns your store, not just ranks products
KORONA offers ABC product analysis, which categorizes items by sales volume. mPower’s AI learns how you run your store — watching margins, anticipating reorders, flagging what needs attention. Tell it what matters to you and it handles the rest.
Deeper inventory for liquor
Case breaks, vintage tracking, pack size management, vendor invoice matching — these are the details that matter in beverage retail. mPower was built around them. A general retail POS handles them as add-ons. When your inventory is 80% bottles in various configurations, that difference compounds.
Liquor specialists on every call
When you call mPower, you reach people who understand three-tier distribution, state-specific compliance, and the rhythms of a beverage retail business. KORONA’s team supports a dozen different retail types. There’s no substitute for specialization when you need answers fast.
