FORT’s original focus was the wine industry, and managing wine shipments remains core to our business. The system was built from the ground up to solve problems facing key areas of the industry, such as shipping, compliance, and seamless data transfer. Each module and detail were forged by the actual issues wineries face every day. A crucial problem plaguing wineries and other beverage alcohol companies is the use of multiple systems to manage the order cycle: POS, club, ecommerce, compliance, customer notifications, data analytics, fulfillment, etc.  Companies also find that tracking multiple inventories (deep storage, club, tasting room, daily orders) can be very challenging. FORT provides a single, integrated system to manage all aspects of shipping wine: Plug and play with 3rd party systems POS and order management integration Integration with fulfillers (3PLs) and major carriers Fully integrated data analytics and compliance solutions What Sets FORT's Wine Ship

In today’s wine industry, running lean has become the norm. Wineries are navigating tighter margins, shifting consumer demand, and limited resources all while trying to maintain the exceptional service their customers expect.

Wine is sensitive to high temperatures, and that makes shipping it during the summer months extra tricky. Even if a bottle never passes through what we typically think of as the “hotter” states, the temperature in a carrier truck during the summer can be high enough to ruin a bottle for the end consumer. We’ve written about the various options for summer shipping many times before. But we realize that, with so many options and strategies available, it might not be clear how to start thinking about the problem, let alone discovering what will work for your wine club or DTC channel. So, we asked some of our experts: What do you think is the most important thing to remember when it comes to summer wine shipping? Here are their top three tips. Tip #1: Get a Weather Strategy in Place for Wine Shipping We might not know exactly when a warm front is going to roll in, but we do know that one will come around eventually. So plan ahead and get your weather strategy in plac

Every year, we are always amazed at how much the wine industry changes—and at the ways in which wineries and their partners find ways to innovate. 2023 was no exception. What we are seeing is shifting patterns, including shifts in small parcel carriers, consumer purchase behavior, job creation, the use of technology, and more. We also see a lot of opportunity for savvy wineries going into 2024. So what were some of these key patterns in 2023 that will influence how the wine industry will (and should) react in 2024? Small Parcel Carriers Lend Stability to DTC It’s no secret that DTC wine shipping is disproportionately dependent upon small parcel carriers. So it was great news when UPS came to terms with its drivers union and avoided a major shut down this past summer. Meanwhile, Fedex is consolidating its ground and air business into one operating company, with an anticipated completion date of June 2024. The long term stability for UPS, combined with efficiency improvement
