A Club Where Buying Wine Is Not Just An Avocation But An Investment In The Winemakers Themselves

Naked Wines PLC

Numbers vary wildly as to the total number of local independent wineries globally and in North America, with tabulations going as high as 65,000 worldwide and 14,000 in the U.S. — but a recent study from Wines & Vines magazine was a bit more conservative, revealing 8,391 wineries in North America; 7,762 in the United States; 568 in Canada (primarily British Columbia and Ontario); and 61 in Mexico. One thing not up for debate? There’s a lot of wine available in North America and the world. Some investors have also found the sheer amount of large wine producers to be a good bet, with publicly traded wine companies such as Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: STZ), Diageo PLC (NYSE: DEO), Brown-Forman Corp. (NYSE: BF.B), Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc. (NASDAQ: WVVI), Duckhorn Vineyards (NYSE: NAPA) and Pernod Ricard ADR (OTCMKTS: PRNDY). But the trend of buying wine from local wineries has been a conscious consumer effort in recent years, partly because many of those smaller wineries are passionate about producing a great sustainable product. To help support their efforts, a glut of wine clubs have hit the market, all with the promise of providing selections supporting local independent growers from California and Oregon to France, Italy, Argentina and Australia. With the pandemic moving consumers to order wine from around the world online, a number of new wine subscription services appeared in 2020. But in any crowded consumer market, building differentiation can become the catalyst for growth. One standout, international wine club, 12-year old United Kingdom-based Naked Wines PLC (OTCMKTS: NWINF), with U.S. headquarters in Napa Valley, California, believes it has found a unique twist to grab a market that wants to not only feel they’re helping local winemakers through the purchase of their products but by becoming an investor. Naked Wines reports that it works with over 166 independent and unique winemakers worldwide, selling its high-end bottled wine for relatively low prices but with a twist. The company calls its 300,000 subscription members “Angels” (as in Angel investors), with the goal of funding independent winemakers upfront so they can concentrate solely on making good wine, forgoing the expensive costs associated with the traditional retail model of loans. The customer in return, gets world-class, high quality wines for an average of 60% less than the cost of traditional retail pricing. Insider.com called the Naked Wine selection process a “Shark Tank for their industry,” where independent winemakers propose a wine to win approval. The company’s customers, called “Angels”, then act as funding investors, depositing a $40 monthly contribution into their Naked Wines account that they then use at their discretion to order wine from the independent winemakers. Naked Wine promotes that the more Angels they have, the more winemakers they can fund to provide hand-crafted wines at wholesale prices up to 60% less than the market offers. Naked Wines claims it not only cuts costs by eliminating sales and marketing expenses for the independent wineries but its upfront Angel-funding gives winemakers more time in the vineyard and less in the office. The company's members can also interact with the winemakers directly through its nakedwines.com mobile app. The company is additionally currently offering promotions such as $100 off of 6pk of Wine for $39.99 with shipping included.

Revenue Management Solutions Answers the Question: How Much Price Is Too Much?

Revenue Management Solutions

For restaurant operators facing record-high inflation this year, the question of pricing is a tricky one. Fortunately, new research by Revenue Management Solutions reveals how operators can find the sweet spot for pricing that works for both businesses and diners. In the face of inflationary costs, raising prices is the first line of defense for restaurant operators. These businesses face severe bottom-line pressure due to lingering COVID concerns, food costs, supply chain troubles and dire labor shortages. In response, quick service restaurant (QSR) prices have been steadily increasing, hitting a record 16.3% in August 2022. Consumers have taken the hit to date, but with wallet pressures looming, how much can QSR customers bear before breaking? That’s the question Revenue Management Solutions set out to answer on behalf of its clients —some of the world’s largest QSR brands. After analyzing in-store price increases by percentages year over year (Q2 2022 vs. Q2 2021) for 25,000 QSR locations in the US across numerous brands, RMS found that, yes, consumers have a breaking point. “When price increases were between 10%-13%, traffic started to severely decline, negating some or all of the net sales benefits,“ stated Revenue Management Solutions Director of Consulting Services Scott Foxworth. Chart 1 indicates the significant drops in traffic as prices hit the ceiling. When looking at average price increases across observed locations, RMS found that most locations were beneath the threshold, with increases between 9% and 10%. “Though the average price increases among observed brands fell below the threshold, the future is still uncertain,” said RMS Chief Operating Officer Mark Kuperman. “Some brands have an opportunity to increase margins with additional price increases, while others may have already hit the breaking point – even at a lower percentage increase.” To determine a brand’s unique price increase ceiling, Kuperman recommends a careful analysis, by location, of the following pricing levers: Customer type Location Price by Item Magnitude and timing of recent pricing rounds In a recent consumer survey, RMS found that the percentage of consumers trading down – ordering less expensive items or choosing less expensive restaurants – is rising. So too is trading out – of consumers that reported managing costs, 45% are ordering less often from restaurants. “Consumers are beginning to perceive restaurant prices as higher, and about 1 in 3 believe they are getting less value from restaurants,” said Kuperman. “Brands will win if they can add to the value equation with great service, abundant value options and creativity.” To download free sales, traffic and pricing trends from Revenue Management Solutions, go to revenuemanage.com/resources.

iTradeNetwork Expands Industry-Leading Traceability Suite with TrueTrac, an Innovative Incident Management and Recall Tool for Buyers and Suppliers

iTradeNetwork

iTradeNetwork, the leading global provider of end-to-end supply chain management and intelligence solutions for the perishable food industry, is proud to introduce TrueTrac, an innovative incident management and food recall solution that instantly and precisely identifies the location of compromised products. With TrueTrac, buyers and suppliers will protect the health of consumers, mitigate the impact of food safety events, save time and money, and preserve their brand reputation. The State of the Industry According to the FDA, there are roughly 48 million cases of foodborne illness annually, and an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths resulting from these illnesses ( FDA ). These rising numbers have driven the FDA and CDC to become more stringent with food safety rules. Not only do suppliers and their trading partners need to manage the industry’s ever-changing regulations, but there is a growing need to provide consumers with quality, transparency, and freshness, with nearly 86% of Americans stating that transparency is more important to them than ever ( Shopify ). How iTradeNetwork Can Help The addition of TrueTrac to iTradeNetwork’s already robust iTracefresh solution suite helps supply chain participants capture critical traceability data to gain the visibility and insights they need to comply with regulations, lessen the impact of recalls, and ultimately grow their businesses. By regulating the way they handle incidents, buyers and suppliers can acquire valuable data in seconds, saving thousands of lives by pulling products from the shelves before they reach the consumer and reducing the cost of a recall by 50-95% ( Food Logistics ). With TrueTrac, suppliers and buyers can geographically analyze inbound or outbound shipments from the lot of origin to the final destination. The map-view feature allows customers to account for perishable products in real-time, so businesses can quickly identify products based on a number of metrics, including lot codes, to find exactly where the products are in the supply chain in a matter of seconds. Reports are configurable and enable users to find and export the data they need quickly. TrueTrac users can even identify where confirmed outbreaks from the CDC and FDA overlap with their own products within the supply chain, allowing for prompt interception and immediate incident management. Innovations like TrueTrac add to iTradeNetwork's reputation as a trusted leader and innovator in the traceability space. iTrade’s history as a technology partner has helped customers meet evolving regulations such as the Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard and the upcoming FSMA 204 requirements with customized traceability programs. “We felt confident in the iTracefresh solution being able to meet the final draft of FSMA 204 and that the [iTradeNetwork] team would be there to support on-boarding suppliers best if we worked further ahead of the implementation date,” says Mike Ferguson, Senior Vice President of Fresh at Topco. “Additionally, starting now ensures we [will] be on the leading edge of providing the ability to improve our freshness and respond more accurately and faster [to] recalls and product withdrawals or consumer advisories regarding the produce we source for our member companies. This makes us better for our members and our members better for their shoppers.” iTradeNetwork’s TrueTrac release is the latest of many innovations in the iTradeNetwork traceability platform, including Palletized Advance Ship Notices, Bio-Engineered Food Module, Safe Food for Canadians Act, and more. iTradeNetwork, Inc. is the leading global provider of supply chain management solutions for the food and beverage industry. Built upon deep industry expertise, a rich data foundation and the industries’ most extensive trading partner network, iTradeNetwork’s collaborative solutions allow distributors, manufacturers, operators, retailers, suppliers, and wholesalers of all sizes to reduce cost, grow revenue, and strengthen trading partner relationships.

iTradeNetwork Announces the Next-Generation Spend Insights Solution, Bringing Premium Analytics and Insights to Foodservice Operators

iTradeNetwork

iTradeNetwork, the leading global provider of end-to-end supply chain management, data, and intelligence solutions for the foodservice industry, is proud to announce the next generation of Spend Insights, a solution that surfaces trends, anomalies, and actionable intelligence for Foodservice Operators to make informed business decisions faster than ever before. Foodservice Operators face many challenges in the current market. Nearly seventy-five percent of operators say labor recruitment and retention are their toughest challenges today (NRA 2021 Report), and the pandemic has caused widespread stock-outs, disruptions and inventory issues that affect their bottom lines. With so many distributor and manufacturer relationships to manage, simply gathering reliable, complete data is difficult and painful, and there are growing concerns amongst Operators about data privacy, security, and integrity. Poor visibility makes it nearly impossible to effectively manage compliance and spending—let alone identify opportunities for growth. iTradeNetwork introduces the next generation of Spend Insights, leveraging more than 20 years of securely and reliably managing data and providing analytics for the world’s largest food manufacturers, distributors, and operators. The new solution acquires, standardizes and validates the data across disparate distributor and manufacturer relationships, giving Foodservice Operators complete supply chain visibility to uncover opportunities for rebate, pricing, and contracting decisions. This release comes complete with an advanced, fresh user interface and staggering performance improvements of more than 90%. Reports that previously took 9 minutes to run now take 15 seconds, saving Operators an average of 40 hours a month and enabling them to receive accurate, actionable data even faster and more reliably. Using the next generation Spend Insights solution Operators can expect to see: ● 2-3% collection of pricing overcharges on contracted spend ● 15-20% rebate improvement from more compliant purchasing ● 10-15% improvement in new contracting opportunities “It isn’t a simple task to collect and reconcile data across all end units, distributors, and manufacturers,” says Nathan Romney, iTradeNetwork’s Chief Product Officer. “Now we can do this with 99.5% match rate accuracy—but we go beyond that. We put this data to work by surfacing advanced analytics that not only give our customers full visibility to evaluate compliance, pricing and contracts, but they can even benchmark customers against US national averages, scorecard vendors, manage menus, and more. The value our customers get from our insights is unrivaled.” The iTradeNetwork Data Pool is fully compliant with GS1 standards and can interoperate with any other GS1 GDSN-certified data pool or solution provider worldwide. iTradeNetwork plans to discuss the Spend Insights release at the upcoming National Restaurant Association’s Supply Chain Expert Exchange Fall Conference on October 11th and 12th in Orlando. The next generation of Spend Insights is the latest of many innovations iTradeNetwork has delivered to the market in the last year, including OrderMaestro, a branded ordering and inventory management solution for Foodservice Operators. About iTrade iTradeNetwork, Inc. is the leading global provider of supply chain management solutions for the food and beverage industry.
