Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention extend to methods, systems and computer program products for a liquid product book to physical reconciliation process that can be initiated and performed on a virtual real-time basis, regardless of ongoing sales transactions. Further, the present invention is configured to measure and compensate for temperature variances at every point of physical measurement in order to appropriately reconcile book and physical inventory. In addition, the present invention provides for an automated way to request, determine, and monitor the delivery of liquid product to a distribution facility in order to prevent shortages, unauthorized drops, theft, etc.
