Leading luxury wine company implements customized best-in-class digital ecosystem to improve customer experience
SANTA ROSA, Calif., Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Foley Family Wines, a family-owned wine company founded in 1996, announced the launch of a digital ecosystem designed to provide an omnichannel experience for its wine consumers and winery visitors. As presented at Salesforce's Dreamforce 2022, the largest software conference in the world, Foley Family Wines will deploy Salesforce technology to power a new customized customer-centric ecosystem for their company. With this platform Foley Family Wines is investing in its digital transformation and commitment to providing exceptional customer experiences for every part of its business.
"Our goal was to deploy breakthrough technology and capabilities which will improve every customer and user experience," said Liz Lease-McCaffrey, SVP, consumer direct & guest experience centers. "With Salesforce, we have built an exciting digital ecosystem for consumers to transact and interact with us from the moment they walk through our doors – virtual or physical – until the experience is complete and wine is on their doorstep. This is unlike anything the wine industry has seen to date."
Foley Family Wines worked with Salesforce consultant Americaneagle.com, a full-service, family-owned digital agency, to develop and implement the platform. The digital ecosystem is built primarily on a suite of Salesforce products, supplemented by other category-leading products for subscription management, loyalty programs, and a mobile-centric point-of-sale (POS) provider.
The new digital ecosystem powers a personalized customer journey that includes:
As the system is being implemented throughout Foley Family Wines locations, additional technologies and tools are being implemented to create a high-touch, flexible, and versatile solution. A customer service queuing system allows for a faster and more efficient service leading to higher guest satisfaction and the likelihood of return engagement. Alternative payment options, including PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, will reduce friction at checkout and increase sales conversions. Additionally, Foley Family Wines integrated point-of-sale products in their guest experience centers, a wine club subscription, a customer loyalty solution, and 18 new brand websites.
"Cloud solutions are a key tool for enabling new capabilities that achieve business goals. This digital transformation project exemplifies the business and technology teams working together to transform how we engage with our customers," added Sachin Amin, Foley Family Wines, VP of Information Technology "Using these modern solutions and integrating them enables new capabilities for an omnichannel experience for our customers while providing our team members with a 360-degree view of the customer."
Foley Family Wines' new digital ecosystem was piloted with Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery in Sonoma, California and is being implemented at the remainder of the Foley Family Wines properties over the next few months. Consumers can create a free Salesforce+ membership and view the Foley Family Wines presentation at Dreamforce.
