Powering the business of wine

Implementing the Hub was a simple process that involved minimal effort. After discussing the requirement and doing a 1 day training workshop, I literally started selling wines through the Hub as the UI (user interface) is very user friendly, and the Wine Owners’ team was very helpful guiding me through every step of the way.”

“With the Hub API functionality the business was able to set up a web store in a very short period of time, and enabled us to expand our broking business massively by integrating inventory from our vendors.”

“The result has been beyond satisfactory as both our turnover and number of clients have grown exponentially.

We chose to work with Wine Owners as we found them to have a similar outlook to ourselves. Extremely customer focussed, and appreciative of how collection management of fine wine needs to speak to the emotions as well as to the numbers. They understand the passion and fascination of collecting as well as the importance of it as an investment class.

The whole Wine Owners’ team were very responsive to our needs, while also adding advice from their own journeys so as to guide us to the best possible solution. Due to this flexibility of approach we feel confident that this will be a long term relationship.

Our wine collector clients immediately fell in love with the look and feel of our new inventory system. I have seen a 50% increase of clients accessing their accounts via our new Nest Egg portal, and this has provided me with a great opportunity to connect with our clients. The Wine Owners team rose to the challenge and provided insightful guidance and expertise that helped shape configuration.

All in all Wine Owners is a supremely capable database and software product designed with the wine operations professional in mind. The inbound process has become more streamlined yet it captures more detail using the software interface and the underlying reference database of wines. The outbound process can now be initiated by the customer without any intervention on our part. Also, the flexibility provided by the billing module gives us customization options we did not have before.

When we set about building a data rich wine list and cellar management solution, the key was selecting a provider with the knowledge, experience and expertise to ensure that we could deliver a turn-key, premium deliverable. That solution: Wine Owners.
