Distilled Spirits Competition Management System is a competition management platform developed by Pacific Software Group for beverage judging events. It serves a very specific niche: helping organizers of spirits, wine, and similar competitions manage the full workflow from receiving entries and handling registration data to publishing award results. The website highlights both a back-office administration system and a mobile-friendly entry system, allowing participants to submit information quickly.
Based on the publicly available description, the system’s core capabilities include end-to-end competition administration, a mobile-friendly entry portal, award announcement management, and customizable data and reporting. Deployment is one of its notable strengths: Pacific Software can host and operate it as a cloud-based SaaS solution, or customers can purchase it and install it on their own equipment/platforms. The purchased version includes all source code and documentation, which may appeal to organizations that want full control and the ability to customize or extend the system.
The cloud version is priced per entry at $2/entry, with all features included, and a minimum of $500 per competition instance. Since each competition instance is separated from and protected from other customers, the vendor can also provide dedicated customization. Enhancement development is quoted at a base fixed rate of $75/hour. Pricing for the self-hosted purchased version requires a phone inquiry. First-year support is included; after that, support is billed at $50/hour, while custom development is also quoted at $75/hour.
The strengths are its focused industry use case, simple pricing rules, support for both cloud and on-premises deployment, and availability of source code, giving it a relatively high degree of flexibility. The team also appears to have experience in enterprise software development, training support, and report development, along with hands-on volunteer experience in beverage competitions. The drawbacks are that the website provides limited information: there are no clear details on permission management, judging-role collaboration, payments, APIs, third-party integrations, backups, compliance certifications, or similar areas. Pricing for the purchased version is not transparent, the team appears to be small, and its ability to provide cross-region support is unclear.
It is best suited to small and mid-sized beverage judging events, industry associations, or competition organizers that need customized reporting. Companies requiring complex integrations, strict compliance, or large-scale global support should ask further questions before adopting it. Access from mainland China is not described in the available text, so its status is unknown.
