The line between a cloud app (cloud) and a web app (browser) remains as unclear as ever. This is because of the natural similarities that exist between them. Active’s belief however, is that there are notable variances, especially when looking to leverage cloud apps for richer user customization experience and seamless integration with resilient and scalable back-end infrastructure.
As a winery or distillery why does this element even matter as a point of discussion? How will this have an impact in your craft business bottom line and overall operation? One reason to consider in switching to the cloud is the tight security, free from "cookies" and other browser tracking devices that allow Active users a faster response time. Using the cloud technology, Active also allows multiple users on many devices throughout your estate, lounge or retail setting. Your team is able to sell more with ease keeping your customer information safe and secure with all the transactions going through your system on a busy weekend at your facility or event.
Basically, a cloud app is merely a web app on steroids if not a hybrid of the two methodologies. It accesses the internet like a regular web page/app but the difference being it does not always exclusively depend upon web browsers to work. Advanced features are more than likely to be such as:
If you want the ultimate in speed, security and support, Active has you covered. Active’s easy iPad POS is designed for busy winery tasting rooms, craft beverage businesses, and retail locations. It includes powerful club features, inventory management, alcohol shipping, tips functionality, and kitchen/fulfillment printing built right in. Active’s native app allows you to communicate live with your unique master database, so it is always current with customer and inventory data. To request a DEMO contact Thomas@activeclubsolutions.com directly. Or, visit our website for more information at www.activeclubsolutions.com.
Some wineries have tip lines on their POS receipts and others do not allow tips at all. Other wineries casually place a tip jar on their counter/bar discreetly. Whether your winery allows tipping or not it is usually a philosophic choice that the winery makes. Nevertheless, wineries who would like their staff to collect tips on the ticket often face challenges with their current POS system, as their current system does not allow flexibility in software technologies to be able to create a tip line.
Taking the tipping issue into account, Active has two ways in the POS system that allows Active clients to manage tipping the way they choose. The first option Active offers in tipping management is to offer “on-screen” tip suggestions. With this option the customer/guest selects which amount/percentage to tip based on the screen choices such as:
for example. Another option Active can customize for the winery, is to offer tipping like traditional, restaurant style tip tickets. Here the customer/guest has the ability to write in an amount to tip that is put onto and paid by the customer/guest credit card presented. Or, the customer/guest can leave the tip portion blank and give a cash tip instead; just like a restaurant setting.
However you, the winery, want to address tips, Active has you covered. Active’s easy iPad POS is designed for busy winery tasting rooms, craft beverage businesses, and retail locations. It includes powerful club features, inventory management, alcohol shipping, tips functionality,and kitchen/fulfillment printing built right in. It communicates live with your unique master database so it is always current with customer and inventory data. To request a DEMO contact Thomas@activeclubsolutions.com directly.

Ruby Hill Winery Patio, Livermore, California
Whether it is DTC or Wholesale within the winery or craft spirits business sector, sales performance is critical for the business. A winery or craft spirits business is no more than a hobby for many, but with “customers” it really is a business. Approaching the winery or craft spirits business requires a different way of thinking. How does one design the strategy for the business that provides a data driven machine towards increasing sales? The discernable answer is by tracking and using metrics or data analytics. While it is not easy, the main step into designing a strategy that is successfully using data points for optimization is by defining your key performance indicators or KPI’s.
For any winery or craft spirits producer DTC often is the lifeline for revenues. For example, wineries who produce less than 100,000 cases or less of product per annum, at least 30-70% of sales revenues can be derived from DTC channel. In smaller wineries or craft spirits, DTC often can be 100% of the revenue stream. In either scenario, most wineries or craft businesses have a basic understanding of KPI’s in relation to their sales channels do look at such as revenue by channel, revenue by month, number of club members, and total cases sold. That is usually it. But, what other data points could be utilized to give a better “picture” of what your winery or craft spirits business is doing?
Many wineries or craft spirits businesses are missing out on data that could improve their sales. What are those other KPI’s to take note of? In the tasting room or lounge model there are several data points to observe starting with visitor source. How did your visitor come to your establishment? Are they returning customers, club members, guests of club members, or did a hotel or restaurant refer them? Did you place an add in a travel/tourism magazine or Groupon offer? With this data you are gleaning information to see if your marketing dollars are effective in bringing in new customers.
Another tasting room metric is what is your visitor conversion rate? Are your visitors becoming customers? Was a purchase made? Did they join the club? Who served the visitor? Data from these questions can help you as a manager/owner determine who needs more training, who is better with one-time sales versus repeat sales, and who are the team members reaching the daily, weekly, monthly goals set.
In the tasting room or lounge also consider the time to assess the average sales amount and the sales per person amount. The average sales metric is factored as net dollars divided by the number of people for the day. This data gives you detail as to are the visitors buying more than last visit? Does the average amount per person or the average sales amount fluctuate with seasonality or abrupt weather events? This data can point to offering specials or deals during seasonal down time or offers the manager insights in immediate response strategizes to conduct a telemarketing campaign or email offer to supplement the low seasonal shifts in per person sales or average sales for the day.
Club programs also have their own set of KPI’s. Focused KPI’s include attrition rate, club loyalty and market basket analysis. Club members do sometimes move on as they like variety. Tracking attrition rate can help you as the owner or manager determine trends, such as who is leaving and when. What did they purchase before they left? This metric can help to identify trends to reveal you need to do other things to keep more customers in the club. How long is the average membership is monitored with tracking club loyalty. What is the average purchase amount for any member in a year? What is the average lifetime value? These metrics help you to better understand the customers you have so you can design programs to serve your club members better. Finally, one key to increasing sales is the ability to upsell or make the proper recommendations. Conducting a basket analysis will help you to understand what items your customers purchase together. An example of this, is Amazon, who mentions “frequently purchased together” in the hopes you will add more items to your cart. This KPI can be very useful for not only the club, but ecommerce and retail DTC marketing mix programs.
These are just a few of the KPI’s that any winery or craft spirits business can start to utilize. You need to bring together all your data points to give you a compete look into your DTC operations. When you have a complete automated system to manage all your data points, in one place, you would, essentially, find the “easy button” in your reports to give you better detail. You can make better decisions with data, because you have better insights for your winery or craft spirits business.

In a recent article Rob McMillan, founder and executive vice president of Silicon Valley Bank's wine industry practice, was quoted, saying that "the wine industry needs to do a better job on sales and marketing using digital tools." I would add to that thought that all craft beverage businesses should listen to that advice too. The article goes on to talk about the need for a big data product that's approachable yet useful to the industry.

Each of these tool sets speak live to your unique and independent master database so they are always current and in sync with your customer and inventory data.

New CLUBs Wizard System to Help you Batch your Various Clubs One Step at a Time
Your customers know they bought wine, beer or spirits from your winery, brewery or distillery and often don’t care if they purchased in your tasting room, received wine from a club shipment or bought online. They do care that they bought wine, beer, or spirits from you.
Now you can drastically improve the efficiencies of your consumer direct sales programs, specifically running your clubs, by training staff using the club wizard that best suits the type of club you are processing. Running the batches in a “step-by-step" methodology keeps the club manager on track, allows management and ownership to “see” where the club billing is in the process, and provides accurate shipping, compliance, inventory, and accounting numbers to the back of the house for seamless G/L ledger entries, if not full integration.
Whether you are running a regular club where everyone gets the same wines in the package (Package Club) or if your winery allocates the wines or let’s club members choose what they would like to receive (Member Choice or Allocation Club) or, you have run out of a vintage and you call it a Placeholder club for the next vintage release (Placeholder/Member Choice/Allocation club, Active’s wizard system will take you through all the steps, one at a time, to ensure you complete your club billing start to finish with accuracy. Visit our website to view the club wizard tutorials to decide that ACTIVE is for you! To find out more information call us at 1-877-441-CLUB (2582) x.48 or contact Debbie@activeclubsolutions.com.

Active Club Solutions POS is affordable and can be customized for small or large multi location wineries needs and budgets.
Credit card security is a hot topic for customers and wineries as more mobile and online purchases are made. Wineries are requested to be Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI) compliant, and avoid data breaches that could put them out of business.
Maintaining PCI compliance can be a burden and the perception that your winery’s systems are not secure can prevent customers from coming back.
In addition, merchants that are found to be the source of a credit card data breach are liable for financial damages and legal penalties.
Active Club Solutions development team has always put data security at the top of its list. Now, with our partner OpenEdge, we guarantee to keep offering the best and most cutting edge secure payment processing options, as credit card security requirements are changing fast.
You should expect today’s highest standards of security from your mobile winery POS, wine club software and Ecommerce.
These standards must include:

First, business owners were buying a cash register at the office store, along with an accounting ledger notebook. Then, they were spending $10,000 to $30,000 in computerized Point Of Sale Systems. These systems were powerful but clunky, hard to learn and full of frustrating glitches. (We all know what the initials POS ended up standing for...)

All addresses are validated and all shipments can be created, billed, and tracked in Active Club Manager. Notifications are automatically sent to the club manager and the customers. Rates are instantly calculated, including negotiated discounts. Fewer exceptions means noticeable savings in shipping costs for wineries that use Active Club Solutions.
For example, Active Club Solutions is integrated with the very latest version of the UPS software, making us among the first to offer great new UPS shipping features like Smart Pickup. The UPS Smart Pickup option uses innovative technology to automatically arrange a pickup only when you need it.
When a winery processes a UPS shipment using Active Club Manager, the system automatically notifies a UPS driver to make a UPS Smart Pickup that same day to pick up all prepared packages. Wineries using this feature can save on the new UPS pickup fees.
Wouldn't it be nice, to sit at your desk, process your wine club release, without mistakes, hassles or disruptions and in no time, be back doing all the very important things your winery requires?
Let's take a look and see how you could be a little closer to this dreamland.
Time Waster #1: The phone keeps ringing!
WIne Club members have been notified and here they are, calling to make changes to their address, billing information, wine club selections or even to cancel or put their membership on hold.
Solution: You can give them a deadline to make such changes, and hope that they'll comply. (chuckle) The problem can be greatly helped if your wine club system comes with club member login webpages that allow them to make all these changes, including to their club selections. The changes will be instantly reflected in your club system and taken into account when processing the club.
Time Waster #2: Everybody is different!
Of course you have your shippers and your picker uppers, those with special dicounts, special shipping requirements, those on hold, those that are gifts and need a gift note included, those with different wine selections, etc... No matter how you try, it seem sthat you have to go through your list one member at a time!
Solution: A wine club system where everything can be programmed, every exception for discounts, shipping, S&H fees, type of packaging, customer preferences down to their wine selections, gift memberships, etc... at the time of the release the system will find all exceptions and handle them for you.
Time Waster #3: Oopses!
Have ever shipped a club selection to a member who had cancelled? Have ever given the 4 bottle club to somebody belonging to the 2 bottle club? Then, you are just like everybody else...human!
Solution: Not a human, a robot! You need a wine club system that will catch all human mistakes before they happen.
