Virginia Wine Distribution Company Pours Modern Design into Online Application

Business Wire
A fully redesigned online application has been created for the
Virginia Wine Distribution Company (VWDC) that brings modern design
features to the consumer. The application serves up a world-class
experience to users through improved design, visual appeal, user
experience and maintainability. The new application was built by
e-government specialists Virginia Interactive (VI) to feature a
wholesale migration of the VWDC online application to a VI hosted
environment, as well as an overhaul of its features and
technology.
VWDC is a non-profit, non-inventory corporation, created by the
Commonwealth of Virginia to provide wholesale distribution services
for Virginia farm wineries. Small farm wineries had previously been
exempt from the Commonwealth's distribution system of producers,
distributors and retailers. Legislation passed in 2006 brought them
under the traditional distribution system. VWDC was created in 2007
to ameliorate negative impact on smaller producers by allowing
distribution of up to 3,000 cases of their own wine through the
VWDC.
The revised VWDC online application has flexibility and specific
functionality to match the specific needs of a specialized
organization. To stay abreast of new regulations, individual
wineries have a revised ability to set discounts. The application
now has capacity for orders of multiple types of wine and allows
for infinite order size. A simplified process for updating the
retailers' VABC license status allows for an automated
approach.
A smoother invoice creation system, more control over the
modification of an existing invoice, and the addition of batch
invoice capability is coupled to an ordering process that allows
for a shopping cart, digital signature and time stamps.
In order to create a consistent user experience, the look and
feel of the application has been updated to remain consistent with
a website redesign that was completed in 2017.
To provide a consistent user experience between devices, the new
website leverages responsive design, as opposed to adaptive design.
Mobile breakpoints allow for the rendering of content consistently
across all desktop, tablet and smartphone devices; as well as
screen sizes, operating systems and browsers.
The new application has been crafted by Virginia Interactive to
leverage styles as effectively as possible by taking advantage of
whitespace, proximity, color, and size to improve legibility and
draw users' eyes to important content and calls-to-action.
"VWDC is pleased to roll out new efficiencies on the company
website. We look forward to the positive impact it will have on
business and the business of our partner wineries, cideries and
meaderies. Virginia Interactive has been creative and thoughtful in
developing a custom application for our unique business,” said
Robin Hill, Operations Manager for VWDC.
The revised online application for Virginia Wine Distribution
Company launched on July 10, 2018.
