Beringer Vineyards Launches Rhine House Online Tour Produced by Cephrus Creative Services
Cephrus is pleased to announce the launch of the Beringer Vineyards Rhine House Online Tour (http://www.therhinehouse.com) produced exclusively by Cephrus. Shot completely in High Definition, the website visitor can navigate and explore the historic Rhine House. With over 20 minutes of video and nearly a hundred historic photos, there’s plenty of content to keep visitors engaged. One of the biggest challenges of the project was the filming of the cast members against a green screen which required that it be completed in a single take.
“We are very happy with the results and from the feedback we have received from end users and the client, it’s a win-win,” says Jonathan Elliman, Director of Creative Services. “It’s a unique online experience and offers so much information about the Beringer family that just wasn’t available before,” continues Jonathan. “Our experience in both advanced web delivery applications and high definition television paid off ten fold since this was a highly complicated project with many technological challenges had to be thought through along the way,” continues Elliman.
The Beringer Vineyards Rhine House Online Tour is sure to become a popular method for other wineries to showcase their history and property for the online viewer. For more detailed information regarding the latest release, contact Cephrus at (707) 255-4390.

Submerce Launches Multi-Location Wine Merchant Powered by Submerce POS, Wine Club Management and eCommerce Platform.
Submerce is pleased to announce the official launch of www.tastemonterey.com powered exclusively by the Submerce eBusiness platform. Utilizing the Submerce POS, Wine Club Management and eCommece solution, A Taste of Monterey is poised to become one of the most successful wine merchants in Monterey County.
“Submerce is going to change the way A Taste of Monterey does business for the better”, says Sarah Elliman, Director of Sales and Marketing. “Submerce provides the inventory and product management tools that wine merchants need and no other system comes close with the amount of features and industry experience”, she says. “Submerce is the backbone to some of the most successful wine merchants in California and our clients love the fact that it’s affordable, easy to use and streamlines their work processes resulting in less stress and guesswork”, continues Elliman.
A Taste of Monterey (ATOM) takes advantage of Submerce’s recently released Multi-Location Inventory Management system that offers seamless product inventory management and depletion in multiple locations based on order source and type. With rollover product depletion and automated transfer requests, ATOM will save hours of product management work on a daily basis. New inventory depletion reports will provide detailed product sales information that will help their management team make educated business decisions based on their customer purchasing trends that were never before available in an affordable and easy-to-manage platform.
Your customers deserve better service and by switching to Submerce will not only convert browsers into buyers, but it will also reduce your reliance on paperwork, data reentry and worker frustration that will also make your company a greener place to work.

Submerce Readies Update to Wine Club Management Software With New Reports and Tools to Boost Sales and Streamline Order Fulfillment
Submerce is known for setting the benchmark for eBusiness solutions announced today that they are ready to release an update to their already industry-leading Wine Club Management Software. New tools such as Wine Club Rewards programs and 50+ more reports to their already 400 available, Submerce’s update to their Wine Club Management takes managing multiple wine clubs and providing exclusive benefits to a new level.
“To this day, our tools continue to be copied by our competition which only tells us that our teams of industry experts design and build the tools that the wine club managers need today not yesterday,” says Jonathan Elliman, Director of Product Development for Submerce. “While others occasionally update their tools every year or so, the team at Submerce is hard at work at staying ahead of what the industry needs,” he says. “We’re looking out the windshield when it comes to software development by working with the industry’s top wine club and sales managers while other companies are limited by their programming resources and fixing software that just plain doesn’t work”, continues Elliman. “Our philosophy is never to release software until it’s been thoroughly tested in-house on tens of thousands of transactions so when our customers need it, Submerce provides results, not headaches. Our support teams are readily available and there’s never a wait to talk to someone when assistance is needed.”
In addition to the new reports are new migration tools that will help bring over legacy data into Submerce from other eCommerce and POS providers such as MicroWorks, Inertia Beverage, eWinery Solutions and Nexternal. The updated tools will import information with regards to customer order history, customer account status, past shipments information and detailed customer account information to offer a seamless transition when your company needs a more scalable and robust solution.
