The situation
What was getting in the way.
The beverage RFP process is a manual, three-sided mess. Agencies post requirements, suppliers respond with products, and operators broker the relationships — but doing it over email and spreadsheets makes compliance, role separation, and an audit trail nearly impossible. The original platform worked but needed a modern, secure rebuild.
- —RFPs run over email and spreadsheets across three parties
- —No clean separation between agency, supplier, and operator roles
- —Product submissions could change after the fact — no audit integrity
- —Beverage categories (wine vs. beer vs. spirits) have different rules
What HiTek changed
A system people can rely on.
HiTek built BevBridge as a multi-tenant marketplace where agencies create RFPs with line items, suppliers respond from managed product catalogs, and operators broker it all — with copy-on-submit snapshots that lock in exactly what was offered, hybrid role-based access control, passwordless auth, and category-specific validation. The v2 rebuild brings it onto a modern, secure, audit-ready TypeScript stack.
