ShipCompliant’s Free Temperature Forecasting Tool Enables Wine Shippers to Comply with Mother Nature’s Rules
2008-07-14 20:45:00
BOULDER, Colo.–(EMWNews)–ShipCompliant announced today that it has launched a custom temperature
forecasting tool for protecting wine shipments. The latest addition to
an innovative free tool suite from ShipCompliant is now available for
any winery or wine retailer to use on the ShipCompliant website at http://www.shipcompliant.com/free-tools/.
Temperature forecasting has long been a problem for wineries and wine
shippers. Hot temperatures during the delivery process can negatively
impact the quality of the wine upon delivery and, more importantly, for
cellaring. Visibly damaged bottles cost wineries in returned shipments
and replacement shipment, and customer satisfaction. However, a greater
threat comes from the reputation hit that occurs when wine that is not
initially recognized as damaged by the recipient, is cellared, and when
finally consumed, is below customer expectations.
ShipCompliant’s temperature tool allows a
winery to set thresholds on temperatures at which they want their
shipments out for delivery, to see resulting destinations to which they
should and shouldn’t ship, and ultimately to
filter shipment files for zip codes with forecasted temperatures within
the thresholds, prior to sending to fulfillment. This process that has
previously been completely manual and extremely time consuming can now
be completed in a few easy steps.
“We gave a sneak-preview to about 350 people, including over 150
ShipCompliant customers at our third annual direct shipping seminar and
users conference on Friday,” said ShipCompliant CEO Jason Eckenroth.
“The reception of the temperature forecasting tool was remarkable. Our
fulfillment partners and winery and wine retailer partners can’t wait to
get their hands on this technology. The free tool is a great proof of
concept and will be extremely valuable to all wine shippers, but we’ll
really be able to leverage this technology within the ShipCompliant
application, where our 1,800 users can take advantage of automated
weather holds and releases and exercise unprecedented control over their
shipping.”
