The Direct-to-Consumer market for distilled spirits is continuing to heat up. As the laws governing distilled spirits shipping from state to state begin to open up the opportunity for craft spirits makers and the companies that support them continue to grow.
There are now at least 10 states plus Washington, DC that allow some form of interstate and intrastate shipping of distilled spirits with several more states considering similar changes to their laws.
Distilled spirits ecommerce provider Spirits 360 Solutions has announced a partnership agreement with Encompass + Orchestra to provide Orchestra customers the Spirits360 Direct to Consumer (DTC) SaaS platform, allowing Orchestra craft distillers to sell their craft products directly to consumers in states that allow DTC.
“Encompass + Orchestra is a strategic partner for our continued growth in the craft breweries and distilleries,” said Spirits360 President Patrick Dorsey. “We quickly realized that we share many customers, and the Spirits360 platform can benefit from integration with Orchestra and enhance our direct-to-consumer eCommerce platform, accessing key inventory and operational data in real-time enabling Orchestra customers to maximize their eCommerce sales channel.”
