Enolytics is very happy to announce our latest DTC integration, with OrderPort. That brings our total ecosystem of DTC data partners to seven, reflecting our years-long commitment to collaboration that helps to "raise all boats" of wine businesses regardless of size. The OrderPort integration is especially poignant, for two reasons in particular. One, OrderPort appeals to small and medium-sized wineries. Enolytics cut our teeth on wineries of this size from the beginning, as we rolled out and fine-tuned the software according to their feedback. It was when we solidified our approach to pricing, where smaller wineries pay less, larger wineries pay more. And secondly, the new leadership at OrderPort are long-time colleagues and friends, namely Jim Agger as CEO (formerly with WineDirect and a key collaborator in the WineDirect x Enolytics DTC reports) and Lailand Flaherty as VP of Marketing (formerly with Caymus, Lailand was an advocate and power user of Enolytics' softw
