Digital Transformation in Évora — For SMEs That Did Not Stand Still

Alentejo wineries are internationally recognised — in some markets (USA, Brazil, China) Alentejo wine is Portugal's flagship. Yet the international D2C channel is typically fragmented: each winery manages its store, fiscal compliance, and logistics independently. We work with individual wineries and groups to structure consistent D2C: e-commerce with automated IEC, subscription programmes (monthly wine club), well-thought international packaging, CRM keeping the American or Brazilian customer between orders. Typical outcome: 25-45% international sales within 24 months.

Alentejo's olive mills and premium oil producers face a classic problem: demand is strong at harvest (October/November) and weak the rest of the year. Monthly subscription programmes — a premium bottle delivered monthly — stabilise revenue year-round and build loyalty among customers paying the premium for origin storytelling.

Alentejo's wine tourism operators — estates with lodging, restaurants, tastings, events — are dispersed across a vast region. Little digital cooperation, each competing with Booking for their own customer. The opportunity is a multi-winery booking centre (white-label) allowing the international tourist to plan a 5-day route across 3-4 estates, with single payment and coordinated logistics.

Alentejo's cork companies export worldwide — wine, design, insulation, flooring. Global clients (particularly premium wine producers) today demand digital ESG certification, montado traceability, and auditable carbon footprint reports. We implement systems automatically capturing this data and generating presentation-ready documentation.
