Looking for a Rhino CRM alternative?
Rhino is a long-established Australian CRM for liquor sales teams. Lemmonade is the modern take on the same job: a mobile-first field app that works fully offline, runs the order through to the Xero invoice, and puts AI in every seat, at one published per-seat price.

Pick Lemmonade if
You want a modern field app your reps run from their phone, online or offline: IPA-planned routes, orders priced with trading terms and GST, invoices in Xero, AI in every seat, and onboarding done with you.
Pick Rhino if
You're a large multi-category liquor distributor that wants a long-established, phone-a-rep vendor with tailored builds. Rhino has run sales operations for long-standing customers like ILG for over a decade.
The honest take
Both are Australian and built around beverage field sales, so this isn't about home ground. It's about generation: Rhino is a browser-based CRM refined over a decade; Lemmonade is mobile-first with offline mode, orders that become Xero invoices, and AI built in from the start.
Side by side. The same job, a generation apart.

Mobile first
Built for the phone in the rep's pocket.
Rhino describes itself as cloud-based, running in the browser on any device with an internet connection. That's a fine model at a desk. In the field, a native app matters: it opens instantly, works with gloves and glare, and keeps working when the signal doesn't.
Lemmonade's iOS and Android app carries the whole day: the route, the visit, the order and the history, with everything queuing offline and syncing when you're back in range.
From the bar to Xero
From the call to the invoice, no re-keying.
Taking the order in the call is table stakes. What happens next is the differentiator: Lemmonade prices line items with your trading terms and GST on the device, and pushes the order to Xero as an invoice with status flowing back.
Finance sees the field in real time, and nobody types the same order twice.
AI in every seat
The admin does itself.
Every Lemmonade seat includes the AI: a brief before the day starts, a summary on every account, and suggested follow-ups with a confidence score. It's in the one published per-seat price.
No activity reports to write on Friday afternoon; the system already knows what happened and what needs attention next.
Your visit to Maple & Co Grocers is overdue, they're 31 days quiet on a fortnightly cycle, so start there. BWS Bridge Rd ordered weekly for 8 months and has gone silent for 3 weeks, worth a call before you head out. Two reorders are due in Richmond, and The Copper Tap is ready for a first visit.
