Elenteny Imports is a B2B logistics company servicing U.S. importers and wine, beer and spirits brands looking for a modern approach to the three-tier system of alcohol distribution. Elenteny Imports is a premier, cloud-based freight forwarder and importer with U.S. distribution access in all 50 states. Founded in 2010, they help brands navigate the three-tier system and expand their market reach.
Before adopting ShipCompliant solutions, Elenteny spent significant time submitting reports to each state individually and managed brand registrations with individual pdfs. In order to keep track of state licenses and requirements they had a binder, with a tab for each state—relying on individual state research, then printing and manually adding new information. Reports like gallonage and excise tax were managed on a spreadsheet, increasing the risk of human error and inaccurate data. All together, this made ensuring compliance in every state almost impossible.
