Beverage wholesale and brokerage platform for retail, restaurant, and bar networks
Breakthru Beverage Group operates a multi-market wholesale and distribution network for spirits, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic brands across North America. The tech stack reveals a hybrid posture: mature ERP (SAP with Master Data Governance) paired with modern analytics (Snowflake, dbt, Power BI) and a cloud migration in progress (moving Azure workloads to AWS). The hiring velocity is accelerating, with sales roles dominating (70% of open positions), while concurrent work on enterprise data architecture and a scalable Snowflake platform suggests efforts to scale operations and inventory visibility beyond traditional wholesale systems.
