Case Study: Howard Ripley Wines boosts productivity with Bevica

Howard Ripley Wines - Customer Case Study

Howard Ripley Wines, a specialist fine wine importer, faced significant challenges with its business systems. After struggling for two years with a generic Oracle NetSuite solution that was not fit for purpose, the company needed an industry-specific system to manage its unique operational and financial requirements, particularly for handling en primeur sales and bonded stock. They turned to the vendor, Bevica, for its purpose-built solution powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Bevica implemented its specialized drinks industry ERP solution, which provided immediate benefits due to its out-of-the-box functionality for duty, VAT, and private reserves. The implementation, supported by Bevica's experienced team, led to significant productivity gains across sales, marketing, and operations. This allowed staff to focus on core activities like selling and marketing, which positively impacted sales, and enabled the business to automate processes and finally begin a long-planned stock reconciliation project.
