– Is your winery still trapped in using antiquated excel spreadsheets?
– Are you unable to communicate steps as they change with the nature of your winemaking?
– Do you have a significant number of barrels in your cellar which make barrel scheduling & planning execution a nightmare to manage? 

 If you answered “Yes”, we hear you! Running a winery is not an easy feat. 

With high production costs & complex, interdependent operations, it’s not surprising when winery owners are forced to settle with simple systems to keep the business profitable.

One cost that you might consider, is the cost associated with using barrels; purchase, storage, maintenance, exhaustion, loss of wine due to evaporation, leakage & spoilage. 

It’s common for wineries to maintain the schedule of their barrel work orders in a spreadsheet – but there are limitations in doing so. 

• When something changes with the sequence of work, it’s challenging to keep the spreadsheet up to date & communicate these changes with co-workers
• This results in confusion or the missing of crucial steps 
• Ultimately, your wine quality is compromised

You’ve saved a few hundred dollars in the short run, but with your current method of Barrel Planning; miscommunication is happening in your cellar. 

On top of that, what if you’ve got a high margin wine sitting in those barrels?

The lack of planning, scheduling & successfully executing your Barrel Work, is costing your company thousands of dollars in the long run. 

So, you’re stuck in this seemingly endless cycle of managing your barrel work.

This is the same reason why it’s important to use an efficient Barrel Planning tool.
