The software is able to compute predictions regarding Direct Wine’s consumer base, stock needed, financials available and being utilized, and global outreach. The consumer base is mainly in Australia, Germany, the UK and the US.

Since the company is centrally located within the UK, it makes sense for them to utilize a cloud computing software that can help them keep a better count on their consumer base and demands. By looking over the consumer base and demands, the company can later determine if the stock they have available is the right stock for the current consumers they have or if their stock can, in fact, meet consumer demands.

The financial aspect of the software has also grabbed the company due to its ability to compute and project numbers with deadly accuracy. These numbers will give the company an idea of where they need to direct and focus their marketing efforts, their revenue, their expenditures, and where they stand amongst competitors.

The computing further allows the company to reach out to their target audiences and customize their marketing approach since they have so many direct customers residing in different parts of the world. Each direct customer base has different forms of a cultural adherence that needs appeal. What goes over well in the Australian customer base may not go over as well with those in Germany. Instead of wasting extra time and adequate funds discovering what those differences are by hand, the company can pull from the prediction cloud software. The software can provide them with the numbers that identifies what will work better for them.

Due to cloud marketing and the ability for consumers to reach out and directly influence how they feel about a company’s product or convert to their loyalties to their biggest competitors, aligning a company’s marketing strategy has become imperative. Keeping marketing efforts high while maintaining low costs is the most efficient way to continue your business success in the eyes of your consumers and your constituents.

Direct Wine needs to stay on their toes to ensure that they are giving their consumers the most for their money without ruining their customer loyalty base. Making sure that they can reach out to the right customers at the right time is imperative to the company as a whole.

Direct Wine CEO Simon McMurtrie stated:
“Direct Wines also has greater visibility into forecasted demand and projected stock requirements across all channels. This will help drive greater inventory efficiency and reduce the need for case and SKU substitution by ensuring that Direct Wines’ buyers purchase the right wine in the right quantities at the right time on a global basis.”

Direct Wine is taking complete advantage of an eagerly developing software to maintain their grip on their logistics and revenue streams. [/show_to]
