Bill 85 introduces several changes impacting the alcoholic beverage sector—a major announcement for Québec’s artisanal industry. By reducing administrative paperwork, this initiative creates a more favorable environment for adopting shared self-distribution models. Fewer complex processes mean artisans can focus on what truly matters: crafting and sharing their creations.
In an increasingly digitized commercial landscape, producers and retailers are seeking more efficient ways to manage their transactions, inventory, and distribution. PivoHub, an innovative B2B platform, provides an effective solution by streamlining sales management and facilitating connections with buyers.

In this new environment, the wine industry has the opportunity to organize itself around a proven model. Indeed, Quebec’s microbreweries have also transitioned from a direct distribution model to one that now closely resembles large-scale distribution.
In order to maintain stock on the shelves and provide a high level of service, it is essential to enable all actors in the distribution chain to keep an eye on the merchandise that belongs to them. This involves increased transparency and smooth communication between producers, artisans, distributors, and retailers. Facilitating real-time tracking of products will become imperative to ensure that customers receive exactly what they expect, at the right place and time. Transparency in managing stock and orders will be key to meeting growing expectations in terms of service and product availability. Distributors, for their part, will need to rely on accurate and accessible data to optimize their operations, reduce the risk of stockouts, and respect the specific needs of territories and customer priorities.
The integration of automated processes and real-time information sharing will become critical levers for maintaining a smooth and efficient supply chain.
