As we look forward to 2024, we want to thank you for your continued partnership and trust in WineDirect. We are proud to support so many wineries around the world. From technological breakthroughs to sustainable initiatives, we want to reflect on the milestones that have defined the past 12 months.
With a dedication to client satisfaction and a focus on technological advancements, we’ve continued to lead the industry in speed, accuracy, reliability, and the highest quality client support.
We have rolled out a new inter-center transfer process which results in cost-saving opportunities and more visibility on inventory transfers, making it easier to reach consumers throughout the country quickly and inexpensively.
Also, enhancements to our systems now allow for a new order type separate from Daily and Club. This provides greater flexibility to package shipments beyond our regular systematic set-ups so wineries can now explore enhanced customization options such as:
We are also continuing to offset the entire carbon footprint associated with the shipping of our clients' packages across the country from all six of our U.S. fulfillment centers, at no extra cost to you. This initiative has a significant environmental effect with the removal of 2,365 cars from the road for an entire year.
We are excited as we continue to build out the All-New WineDirect platform. This initiative is not merely an upgrade; the new platform will provide the tools needed to ensure our winery clients can thrive in an ever-changing market. We're driven by the mission to help our clients sell more, cultivate repeat purchases, and streamline operational efficiency.
We are currently in a Closed Beta testing period as we continue to complete key features and integrations. We anticipate moving to Open Beta this summer. At that time, we'll be looking for further customer use and feedback as we move towards General Availability.
If this revised timeline affects your plans, such as website updates, please reach out and we can provide suggestions on ways to proceed that will ensure a smooth upgrade to the new platform.
We're now even closer to the launch of All-New WineDirect, and we greatly appreciate your continued support and patience as we fine-tune every detail of the migration and onboarding experience.
