The problem currently with international wine trading 

One Time Sale 

• Châteaux and Wineries do not benefit from the flow of wine tourism, limiting themselves to one time sales
• Chateaux don't know their final export customers details: a customer relationship that eludes them

International e-commerce 

• Sites specializing in the sale of grands crus (Lafite Rothschild, Petrus etc) or private label wines, only operate in one country. 

French e-commerce 

• Offer limited deliveries to neighboring countries, restricting their market. 

No remote recommendation possibility 

• You can't recommend a chateau's wine directly from home, only via "pure players" 

An identical model for all export markets 

• Market dominated by French and foreign wholesalers, limiting the choice of references for consumers. 

A unique solution for the wine industry 

A Global shipping and e-commerce solution connecting Chateaux, Consumers and Wine Professionals.

Pelican Air Services is a family-owned company that specializes in international wine shipping solutions. It was founded in 2020 in Bergerac, and based today in the hub of famed wine growing region, Bordeaux . 

Over the past 5 years Pelican has developed an in-depth expertise in shipping, logistics, customs import duties and taxes, facilitating the routing of wines for international customers. 

Pelican works directly with multiple Chateaux across the various wine growing regions of France. We facilitate the wine consumers experience by facilitating the shipping process either at the "Point of Sale" or through our Mobile App. Once the consumer leaves the Chateaux they cannot repeat the direct sale.

We see an opportunity to capture follow on sales by introducing a marketplace which will continue to source from our Chateaux network and deliver it to consumers around the world.

Creating a complete end-to-end solution

Combining logistics expertise & technology to connect the world with wine professionals

We are building tools on our website and mobile app for consumers and wine professionals to request delivery services directly. 

Phase One: Mobile Application 

Automation of processing will enable us to handle a greater amount of order flow. This will facilitate continuing delivery of our services and products to our customers. 

Phase Two: Marketplace 

Pelican Wine Hub 

At the same time, we're building our own marketplace, Pelican Wine Hub, which will sell all the Chateaux wines directly to the consumer and wine professionals. 

The platform accommodates global regulatory standards including the American market and the "Three-Tier System" import, distribution and sale.

Pelican's competitors 

2 types of competitors: Logistic competitors & Marketplace competitors 

Logistic competitors 

• Freight forwarders: Eureka Logistique, MBE (Mail Boxes Etc.) and Wine Shipper focus primarily on managing shipments, working with transport partners to coordinate deliveries. 
  • In comparison, we offer an integrated approach including specialized packaging and custom duty management, better suited to the specific needs of the wine sector. 
• Carriers: DHL, UPS, FedEx and ChronoPost specialize in fast, reliable, international parcel and freight shipping. Their approach is often limited to communicating freight rates, without the additional services required by wine professionals. 
  • We stand out for our complete integration of specialized packaging and customs management services, offering a much more tailored and personalized solution for specific export needs. 

Marketplace competitors

Pelican stands out from its pure player competitors by offering a truly global marketplace, where consumers are not limited by geographic location.

Thanks to our platform, Pelican Wine Hub, we offer a wide range of products, efficient international delivery and transparent pricing, opening up the wine market to a global audience.

The company has been self funded until recently. We recently announced a investment by wine enthusiast and market research legend Tom Dorsey. 

Pelican Air Services is a complete solution dedicated to international wine deliveries. Based in Bordeaux, our company was born in response to a problem observed in the airport environment: the inability of foreign customers to bring their wine purchased in France directly home, due to customs barriers.

Created in mid-2020 in Bergerac, Pelican Air Services spent three years developing in-depth expertise in logistics and customs duties. By talking to customs and observing their procedures, we identified a crucial need: facilitating the routing of wines for international customers.

Building on this expertise, we decided to digitalize our service:

• Dedicated online space: Wine professionals will have access to a dedicated space on our website, where they can carry out their quotations independently.

• Digital marketing: This web application will enable us to deploy our product commercially and conquer the market of wine professionals, previously developed by word-of-mouth. Automated order processing will enable us to handle an unlimited number of quotations.

At the same time, we're building our own marketplace, "Pelican Wine Hub", which will list all the references of our wine professionals. Pelican will be remunerated not only by its logistics, but also by a 20% commission on each sale made. This platform will comply with the US market and the "Three-Tier System": import, distribution, sale.

Our product and marketplace are the fruit of three years of logistics expertise. This total mastery of our supply chain is enabling us to build the future of wine e-commerce. Pelican Air Services is positioned as the future leader in the distribution and sale of wine, thanks to an integrated, innovative solution perfectly adapted to the needs of professionals in the sector, and to the expectations of consumers worldwide.
