“Ten years ago we were impressed with TVision’s ability to understand our business and advise how technology could be deployed to deliver great return. This remains true today.” Eileen Beadle, Enotria

The Wine System

Serving the needs of customers and suppliers as diverse as private customers, to small local restaurants and large multinational supermarkets is one of the biggest challenges in Wine and Drinks Distribution. It’s what our clients in this sector consistently tell us.

The Wine System is a software solution that understands these challenges and delivers supplier and customer relationship management with functionality tailored exactly to the needs of drinks distributors. The result is a software management solution that enables wine and drinks distributors to deliver exceptional customer service and achieve significant business efficiencies.

By unifying operational and accounts functionality, The Wine System connects your business, improving processes from marketing to Ecommerce to credit control.

The Wine System is built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV. NAV is a global product supporting multi-company, multi-currency and multi-lingual requirements. The Wine System is packed with functionality that empowers you to meet business demands – precisely and efficiently. It has the potential to enhance business performance across every drinks distribution company.

“As TVision has a number of key wine merchants using the system we can use standard software for a lot of our processes.” Justin Randall, Goedhuis

The Wine System builds on standard NAV’s Distribution functionality with features that meet the specific needs of drink distribution, such as:

Duty free, duty-paid orders
Paid and unpaid reserves
Ex-cellar and commission orders
En Primeur

NAV’s standard Inventory Management has been enhanced to report in equivalent cases and hold additional information for marketing (tasting notes etc), sales (linked vintages, supercession etc) and waste management.

The Wine System understands about duty; however, it is not a bond solution. We can integrate with your existing bonded warehouse (Cert Octavia, London City Bond and so on) or we can introduce you to a specialist bond software supplier.

Ecommerce Integration

Ecommerce has become an essential part of the wine industry. Whether this is simple EDI communication with major multiples or real-time web-based ordering, the Wine System based on NAV meets your needs.

“When Majestic Group bought Lay & Wheeler in 2009 we were unsure what the impact on the systems would be. We knew that after the hard work implementing NAV, we wanted to continue with it and we knew that it was unlikely Majestic’s systems would have anything that could handle the complexities of Private Reserves. TVision’s help in explaining the benefits of the system to the group provided the confidence that the Lay & Wheeler operation was on the best system.” Nick Pitcher, Lay & Wheeler
