How to Simplify LARA Orders with CoreVue: A Step-by-Step Guide for Michigan C-Store Operators
If you operate a gas station or convenience store in Michigan, you know that placing alcohol orders through LARA (Liquor Control Commission’s online system) is required – but not exactly efficient.
This guide walks you through how to streamline the entire LARA ordering process using CoreVue.
Step 1: Understand the LARA Vendor Landscape
LARA supports just three approved vendors:
Great Lakes Wine & Spirits
RNDC Michigan
Imperial Beverages
While LARA handles compliance, it doesn’t help you build or manage orders efficiently. Most store operators still rely on:
Clipboards and manual counts
Handwritten notes
Re-typing everything into LARA’s online portal
Step 2: Use CoreVue’s Mobile App to Build Orders Faster
Here’s how to make LARA orders dramatically easier using CoreVue:
📲 Scan product barcodes directly from your shelves using your phone
📈 Let CoreVue suggest orders based on your recent sales data
🧾 Organize orders by store locations
💬 Ensure item pricing syncs with your internal pricebook, so what you see matches what you submit
This lets you build an accurate, store-specific order in minutes.
Step 3: Submit the Order via LARA
Once your order is built in CoreVue – on mobile or desktop – you can enter final quantities and submit the order directly to LARA from within the platform.
No double entry. No re-typing. Just build and send.
Step 4: Reconcile Invoices Automatically
CoreVue also helps you close the loop:
It reads invoices automatically from all three LARA vendors(using AI invoice scanning)
You can match what you ordered vs. what was delivered
You gain a clean audit trail for accountability
Why This Matters
Whether you manage one store or ten, CoreVue gives you:
A faster way to build LARA orders
Fewer errors from manual entry
A mobile-first workflow your team can actually use
Final Tip: Go Mobile to Stay in Control
You’re still submitting through LARA – but now the prep work happens in seconds, not hours.
