THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After weeks of uncertainty and speculation, the app developed for introducing the virtual queue system for liquor sale in Kerala would be launched on Wednesday. The sale is likely to resume on Thursday. The validation process of the app, now known as BevQ though the government is yet to announce its name, is over. Though the app is on public domain now, it can be visible only after the Kerala State Beverages Corporation (Bevco) gives permission for publishing. Excise Minister T P Ramakrishnan is expected to launch the app after a final trial.
Customers can download the app from both Google Playstore or App Store, and take token online using it. Bevco has also enabled an SMS system for those who own only feature phones. A customer has to provide his location and pin code for taking a token. He/she will have to appear in person at the outlet.

Kochi-based startup Fair Code Technologies which develped the app BevQ and not Bevco which will end up gaining 50 paise per each token while placing the order online.
