As a distributor you build a personalized list of your wines on your own ZiNG!™ app, creating the ideal sales aid for your staff. The personalized app provides a framework for you to collaborate with your customers and to help your staff confidently recommend and select appropriate wines for a restaurant’s food pairings.
You can also give your customers access to your data by publishing it to the ZiNG! cloud, enabling your customers to browse and perform research with your listings at a time that convenient to them.
By allowing the ZiNG! app to recommend pairings based on chemistry you can find the appropriate pairing for a wine that may initially seem difficult to place, helping you sell more wine.
