Software Case Study Example: Virginia Based Wine Importer and Distributors
Virginia Based Wine Importer and Distributors uses VISCO to more effectively manage inventory JAO Wine Imports is a small privately owned boutique wine importer and distributor selling high quality, short supply wines into several states along the east coast.
In 2011, owners John and Dominique Otterbeck saw the growth of the company and the challenges associated with selling a growing portfolio into multiple markets. The manual work of creating paperwork, managing inventory and generating the required reporting for the various states was beginning to feel inefficient.
Their search brought them to VISCO’s cloud based software for importers and distributors. VISCO’s import/export tools gave them an effective inventory management and shipment tracking system out of box. They then worked with the development team to customize the system to simplify samples handling and creating custom documents for each of the unique markets they were distributing the wine.
By using VISCO, JAO Wine Imports is now able to automate much of the operations of the business and allow the team to use their time to more efficiently to focus on customers instead of paperwork
