Bring prices into your system

When you’re buying and selling wine, or talking to clients, it’s important to know the right price. Often, this means making repetitive online searches – but it doesn’t have to. 

With automation services, you can bring prices from Liv-ex – Market Price, Bid, Offer, last trade, and others – into your internal systems.
