Im letzten Monat gab Beam Suntory die strategische Partnerschaft mit BlackSquare bekannt. Diese statten nun den Spirituosenkonzern mit modernster Direct-to-Consumer (DTC)-E-Commerce-Technologie für Laphroaig auf dem britischen und deutschen Markt aus (wir berichteten). Und auch Brown-Forman verstärkt ebenfalls seine Aktivitäten auf dem Gebiet E-Commerce. Der führende Anbieter auf diesem Gebiet Thirstie wird für die Marke und Brennerei Benriach einen Online-Shop auf dem US-amerikanischen Markt betreiben. Eine besonderer Aspekt dieses Shops: Die von Thirstie entwickelte Technologie verfügt über einen ausgeklügelten Einzelhandelsalgorithmus, der die Produktverfügbarkeit basierend auf den von den Einzelhandelspartnern festgelegten Preisen und marktbasierten Steuerberechnungen dynamisch bestimmt, so heißt es in der Presseaussendung die wir über PR Newswire for Journalists erhielten. Benriach ist die erste Marke im Spirituosenportfolio von Brown-Forman, die in den USA ein solches Online-Shopping-Erlebnis bietet.
