A U.S. subsidiary of a large international winery producing sparkling wines along with still wines. While primarily focused on the direct-to-consumer market, the winery operates as an importer and wholesaler, bringing in wines from four other well-known international wine regions. The winery also manages wholesale distribution of its own products, serving as the primary source supplier.
Managing multiple brands across various wine varietals, the winery needed a solution to streamline operations and eliminate manual, time-consuming compliance tasks. With ShipCompliant Market Ready, the winery automated its processes, allowing it to introduce new products and expand into new markets without disrupting its current operations.
The winery was using manual processes to coordinate licensing and other compliance records, relying on disorganized paper documents. This made tracking down even the most routine information a time-consuming and tedious task. State registrations were difficult to complete using paper forms, creating mountains of paperwork and slowing down the approval process.
To compound matters, several states converted to electronic databases, giving them insight into which wineries had successfully registered and which were still lacking permits. This meant the winery risked not being able to sell their wines in these states if their registrations were not submitted and approved on time.
The winery needed a single, shared, always-on and always-accurate solution to keep track of records and bring order to their registration processes. Registrations were challenging in many states because of outdated processes, poor communication, slow response times and hard copy application requirements. To best equip themselves to efficiently introduce new products, the winery needed a comprehensive solution. ShipCompliant Market Ready helped the winery alleviate those concerns with automated project management and real-time government integration.
With ShipCompliant Market Ready, the winery:
“ShipCompliant gave me back a lot of time that I really didn't have. I often worked seven days a week just to get my job done, because everything was pretty much manual.”
