Thank you for your feedback

As corporate gifting has always been a preferred and customized form of gifting for our clients, we’ve added a new Corporate Order type to our diverse range of order types. This is huge as corporate gifting grows within the wine industry.

For example, a corporate order might request holiday cards, gift boxes, and custom ribbons. Order types automate these instructions, ensuring complete customization without winery staff managing each order separately. With WineDirect’s new Corporate Order type feature, these orders can be tracked separately from Club, Daily, or any other order type for exact reporting.

Similar to CLUB volume planning, WineDirect will request a completed CORP order checklist (available for download below). This checklist will provide our team with the requested information needed to best plan and fulfill the CORP order release.

How it works:

If you have 50 or more CORP orders, we will request a CORP Checklist (click to download checklist).
The order type is “CORP”.
Packing slips are included in CORP shipments.
Inserts/collateral should be set up as SKUs in the WD system and submitted on your system orders.
Order Holds and/or Requested Future Ship must be established prior to submitting orders.
Ensure product moves are completed from Primary to appropriate sub-inventory if applicable.

How to Submit Orders:

Account is assigned CORP order type through designated Account Manager
Orders should be submitted within the order due date as
Orders can be flipped from DAILY, or other to CORP order type in the FF portal using the Bulk Order Update tool
Order can also be manually uploaded via Manual Order Upload tool as CORP order type
