Hart Davis Hart (HDH), formerly John Hart Fine Wine, is a growing force in the rare and fine wine market. HDH has retail services as well as wine storage services, and as of January 2005, holds quarterly auctions.

Thirdwave teamed up with HDH for the construction of a retail-based website. The results have exceeded all expectations and show no signs of slowing down.

E-COMMERCE WITH CONTENT AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
In addition to utilizing the proven capabilities of Thirdwave's Content Management System, hdhwine.com employs powerful code to integrate online sales and user management with HDH's existing backend system. The seamlessness of this integration is vital for HDH as the nature of the product combined with the addition of the internet as a point of sale creates rapid fluxuation in inventory. The system was designed with this in mind, and provides fast and easy tools for inventory management and synchronization.

ONLINE AUCTION COMPONENT
Perhaps the most notable success thus far has been the online auction component developed in late 2004 for implementation with HDH's first auction in January 2005. The goal of the system was to provide another option for HDH to display the auction catalog and allow potential buyers to make bids. Suffice to say, the auction was a resounding success with over $1 million in bids originating from the site.
