Expansion & Growth Next Glass has expanded its product ecosystem with Untappd for Business, PaySmart, and recently acquired Ekos, signaling a strategic push into integrated beverage program management, payments, and supply chain solutions. Sales opportunities exist in offering bundled software for beverage programs, invoicing optimization, and end-to-end operations for multi-channel distributors and venues.
Revenue Potential With reported revenue in the $25M-$50M range and a global software focus for the beverage industry, Next Glass represents a mid-market to enterprise target for upselling premium platforms (Untappd for Business Premium), additional modules, and enterprise-level analytics to drive guest traffic and store performance.
Strategic Partnerships Past collaborations with Wine-Searcher and ongoing positioning across Untappd, BeerAdvocate, and related brands indicate receptiveness to channel partnerships and co-marketing opportunities. Sales efforts can leverage co-branded solutions, referrals, and cross-sell within the partner ecosystem.
Operational Efficiencies Recent product launches such as PaySmart and mobile Untappd for Business updates point to a focus on cost-effective payments and on-the-go program management. There is potential to sell integrated payment processing, invoicing optimization, and mobile-enabled workflows to hospitality groups and retailers seeking frictionless operations.
