BlackSquare

edit

BlackSquare has established itself as a leader in ecommerce for the global wine and spirits industry. The revolution started with the commercial deployment of Blackboxx - the world’s most advanced wine-specific ecommerce platform.

Blackboxx is BlackSquare’s proprietary wine club and e-commerce application. It has been custom built specifically for the global wine and spirits industry and currently powers a number of winery and retail store wine clubs in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong including the largest wine club in Canada, WineCollective.ca.

BlackSquare owns 100% of WineCollective.ca and Tannic.ca, Canada’s first flash sale website dedicated to wine.
