Who are we?
Founded in 2023, Santé is a modernized Point-of-Sales (POS) system serving wine and liquor store businesses.

Two years into the business, Santé has developed full vertical integration tailored to this market segment, driving value for 150+ enterprises hosting multiple locations each. With usage around the clock and across multiple timezones, Santé serves as the main artery for our customers to procure, transact and report on all aspects of their business.
