DrinkAgents vs shared drives and email for trade sales materials

For wine, spirits and beer suppliers, importers and distributors.

Most portfolios reach the trade as shared folders and email attachments. That works until reps cannot find the current sell sheet. DrinkAgents puts your whole portfolio in one trade portal, organized the way reps sell.

When each one fits

  • Shared drive folders

    A small portfolio, a few distributor contacts and files that rarely change.

  • Email attachments

    A one-off file for one account.

  • The DrinkAgents trade portal

    A growing portfolio sold through several distributors and many reps, where finding, sharing and presenting the right wine quickly decides the sale.

Questions buyers ask

Why not just share a Dropbox or Google Drive folder with distributors?
A shared folder works for a handful of files. As a portfolio grows, reps spend time hunting for the current sell sheet, and old versions keep circulating. A trade portal organizes everything by brand and wine, keeps one current version, and lets reps filter, compare and build materials in seconds.
Who keeps the portal current?
We load and maintain your products, brands and files, so the portal never goes stale.
Can each distributor have its own access?
Yes. Each distributor and rep team gets its own passcode, so you control who sees what.
Can reps create presentations from the portal?
Yes. Reps build presentations with Pages inside the portal, starting from a brand or a set of wines, and print line cards and wine cards for accounts.
