Seattle, WASH — January 26, 2006 — The US Supreme Court continues to rule in favor of consumers being able to import wines directly from producers and distributors in other states. The court’s 5 to 4 decision in May of last year greatly expands the potential for small to medium-sized wineries that display and sale their products on the Internet.

With this breakdown of state trade restrictions and the extraordinary growth of consumer Internet access, it is obvious why local wineries and wine distributors are migrating their operations to the Internet and starting to realize the power of web-based business applications.

Northwest wineries can now operate in other states markets with a level playing field. And to support this exciting trend, Arestia Design Studios (www.arestia.com) and Synapse Corporate Solutions (www.synapsecs.com) has entered into agreement to provide the winery industry with dynamic access to this expanding market.

Mark Michael, Synapse.CS’s co-founder/CEO explains, “With Arestia’s innovative approach to customer-managed database web design and Synapse.CS’s web-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, local wineries can now compete with the big-boys.”

This integration between Arestia and Synapse.CS products provides wineries and distributors with industry-specific applications that allow them to add to and modify their own website content and offerings in real-time. They can manage newsletters to notify their customers of New Wine Releases and events, and use their Online Scheduler to coordinate Tasting Events and Site Visits. To support their sales teams, the system provides secure access to website promotions and offerings, detailed customer information including likes, dislikes and types of wines they prefer, and offers web mail that can be accessed from almost anywhere using any Internet-accessible device. In addition the system can provide detail tracking of sales by wine type, category and which customers are buying.

With launch of an Arestia-designed website with a Synapse.CS backend, companies can now have this and more.

“Small to mid-sized businesses are starting to realize the power of data collaboration and data reporting tools within a web-based model.” Says Daniel Rust, owner of Arestia and co-founder of Synapse.CS. “Our products not only provide an impressive web presence, but allow our clients to coordinate the efforts of their sales, customer support and management teams to ensure increased sales and establish stronger customer relations.”
