Digital Wine results
It's been a busy month for Digital Wine's WINEDEPOT brand. WINEDEPOT shipped 25,311 cases in March, up more than 550% on the same month last year (MoM) and 21.3% on February 2021.
It processed 12,272 orders during March, up 504% MoM and 29.3% on January 2021. This equated to an average of 2.06 cases shipped per order.
It also signed up another 27 suppliers and appointed James Munn as chief operating officer (COO).
But the company had seen rapid drops in revenue from December until January, so the current results – while strong – are recovering on November's highs, leading to a slightly less exciting results period.
WINEDEPOT's 27 additional suppliers are almost entirely New Zealand and Australian based, with the majority in South Australia.
Digital Wine Venture's new COO
Digital Wine says its new COO, James Munn, is a "highly experienced" supply chain professional with more than two decades of experience in the warehousing and logistics sector.
