You’re walking through the beverage aisle of a grocery store, and someone offers you a perfectly poured sample. This experience doesn’t happen by chance—it’s carefully orchestrated by companies like Sourced Craft Cocktails.
Founded in 2015, Sourced specializes in staffing beverage sampling events across the U.S. If you’ve ever tasted wine, beer, or spirits in a grocer, liquor store or bar, there’s a good chance you’ve met a contractor staffed by Sourced.
Carolyn King, Director of HR, oversees the company’s internal team of about 30 employees and manages payroll for roughly 2,000 independent contractors nationwide.
The Everee difference: From payroll panic to effortless operations
When their previous payroll provider abruptly shut down, Sourced needed to quickly find a reliable replacement. Payroll had always been tedious, “We had to submit every payment individually,” Carolyn explains, and now it was critical to transition quickly without disruption.
Fortunately, Everee stepped in fast.
“It was a very easy transition compared to what we experienced before,” Carolyn says. “Everee got people up and running fast, and now I can run one big payroll but still easily break it up into segments like retail or Sampling-as-a-Service.”
User-friendly meets exceptional customer service
The intuitive, user-friendly software immediately impressed Carolyn. “Everee’s website isn’t intimidating. Everything is laid out clearly, so you don’t have to be super tech-savvy,” she notes. “It’s easy to maneuver, easy to read payment notes, and our contractors can easily access their 1099s. Normally, I’d get an influx of emails asking, ‘Where is this?’ but now, I don’t.”
But it was Everee’s exceptional customer support that ultimately sealed the deal.
Carolyn adds:
“Honestly, it’s just great. Our weekly payroll operations have become smooth and stress-free. I cannot rave enough about the customer service, especially given how quickly we onboarded. Everything moved at a very fast pace.”
Everee as a true partner
Today, Everee has become a trusted partner to Sourced. “The sales team is great. Anytime we have an idea about utilizing the platform more or expanding to sister companies, Everee is our first choice,” Carolyn says. “We’re only using a fraction of Everee’s capabilities, and we’re excited to grow together.”
