Vineyard2Door.Com Launches Point-of-Sale Application

Seattle WA, March 12, 2008

Vineyard2Door LLC (V2D)  -- a software producer offering complete winery solutions – has launched their anticipated Point-of-Sale (POS) application that allows wineries of all sizes to efficiently manage all aspects of inventory and sales transactions, regulatory compliance and reports.  The POS system expands on the success of its initial E-Commerce sales application by tracking all sales channels and addressing the most common challenges of wine marketing and sales management:  consolidation of multiple databases for individual customer and wine club communication and sales, batch processing of credit card transactions and shipping documents, robust compliance tracking and sophisticated reporting functions to aid in business performance evaluation.

“We started by addressing the headaches that wineries face staying compliant with various laws and regulations to sell and ship wine directly to consumers,” said V2D Founder Gary Robertson.  “The feedback from our initial e-commerce application clients was that they loved our application, but they wanted to manage all their transactions – tasting room sales, distributor sales, warehouse transfers, samples – as well as recording the data of grape-growing and winemaking processes.  So we kept adding breadth and features.  No other provider offers a seamless system to manage all operation, inventory and reporting requirements from grape-growing through wine sales.”
V2D offers three inter-connected web-based software application modules:  Online e-commerce and wine club facilitation, comprehensive Point-of-Sale and Winery Operations Management, and Vineyard Operations Management (available in December).  V2D software has been created from scratch – not a modification of off-the-shelf software – which makes it much more user-friendly and easy to update with new developments in the wine trade and regulatory environment.
V2D applications are web-based and backed up through servers with bandwidth expandable as needed to insure efficient communication flow. Application software is licensed to client wineries, and the equipment to run the POS system is leased by winery clients through V2D.  V2D will retain a software designer as technical consultant and a regulatory compliance consultant to stay abreast of the complexities of individual state regulations and shipment logistics.  V2D does not own any wine inventory or make any retail sales of wine.
