New Item Submission System

The LCBO New Item Submission System (NISS), is a collaborative site available to the LCBO management, the  Supplier and Agent. 

Site Objectiives:

1. LCBO Categories such as (Spirits, Vintages, Wines, ...) publish their need requirements which includes desired landed retail pricing, pre-submission and submission deadlines, etc... Currently there are no costs associated with pre-submissions or offerings, however, some requirements are necessary, such as a strong track record in other markets, key accolades, a market support program, etc...
2. A supplier can offer their products on the site via an agent such as Lacey's.  
3. If a product is accepted to proceed, the site is also used to formulate a contract between the LCBO and the supplier on the products pricing, product packaging requirements, terms of payment, etc...

For the pre-submission process, there are three key pages we need to populate in for a pre-submission to be accepted. Our Submission Template (ST) covers most required information, however, images of packaging and/or labels can be uploaded for the buyers to assess.

1. Supplier Information Page (LCBO Vendor #, Address, email...)
2. Product Profile Page (Category, varietal, accolades..)
   -This area also includes an area to upload images of labels/packaging, etc...
3. Product Details (Pricing, Pallet Configuration, Product Weight, Case Dimensions, etc...)
