PURE The Winery Celebrates Global Expansion

Zero-Sugar Wine Brand Toasts Global Growth With Cloud ERP

PURE The Winery buys award-winning Italian wine, bottles and brands it, then makes it widely available to consumers searching for more healthy drinking options as international demand for premium wine continues to grow unabated. The secret to these low-calorie, sugar-free wines is picking grapes early and using alternative yeasts to avoid a build-up of sugar. PURE The Winery’s rosé, red, white and sparkling wines are shipped to 15 countries and stocked in hundreds of supermarkets, restaurants and wine outlets worldwide.

“For a relatively new brand expanding rapidly worldwide, we’re still only doing a fraction of what we could with NetSuite. It’s far more than just an accounting system.”Stuart Foster, Financial Controller and Investor, PURE The Winery

Sowing Seeds for International Expansion

Setting up for success: Though leadership knew an ERP system was necessary from the start, PURE The Winery briefly used QuickBooks to record accounting transactions after its launch. A prompt analysis of the top ERP vendors led to NetSuite OneWorld as a firm foundation for the global wine distributor, which sold over 400,000 bottles within two years. In 2022, the company is on track to surpass 1 million bottles and €10 million ($11.3 million USD) in sales.

Crisis rallies online stores: A COVID-induced slump in retail sales and distribution forced PURE The Winery to rethink its purely retail distribution approach and set up web stores in Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. Partnerships were established in the United States and Singapore to allow consumers access to buy the wine online. Now, sales in some areas of Europe are completely direct-to-consumer and online, while in the US, resellers and physical retail account for 80% of revenue.

Easy international sales: While producing and shipping hundreds of thousands of bottles around the world each year, PURE The Winery relies on NetSuite OneWorld to manage all the tax, duty and labelling requirements that vary from country to country. Switching from QuickBooks to NetSuite saved eight days of work per quarter in accounting processes alone.

New markets, new efficiencies: PURE The Winery plans to add new countries including France, Italy and Ireland in 2022. It expects to drive more efficiencies in areas such as account reconciliation, demand forecasting and tracking inventory volumes among its winery and logistics centers as teams adopt more components of the ERP system, allowing the business to grow even faster.
