InnoVint

Innovint is an essential part of our winery workflow.

Commentaires : Clean and easy tracking of winery inventory and operations. I am most excited about having ready access to data about past vintages as time progresses and we're looking back at previous years. Having all that data in a well-functioning system is key to our success. At my first winery job, we used very archaic software to manage production, and the burden of using that system nearly outweighed the benefits thereto. Not the case with Innovint.

Avantages :

Design and interface is clean, modern, and functional. Most operations are very easy to track. Configurable templates for repetitive operations allow you to customize your workflow to your winery processes. iPhone app is very handy on the winery floor for data capture and retrieval on the fly. Generating compliance forms has seemed to go very smoothly so far (hopefully that will continue as our operation gets more complex).

Inconvénients :

Really need an Android app. (I'm an iOS user, so I'm fine, but my partner in the winery is an Android guy and he's out in the cold.) I'd love to see some costing functionality added to make life easier on us from an accounting perspective. It's a little burdensome at this point to manually convey wine movements to the accountants for them to integrate into our COGS tracking.

Much better than other programs

Commentaires : Overall very good. I like the people they have hired and I enjoy using the system day-to-day.

Avantages :

Great customer service and set-up help. Really made sure I understood the material and how best to use all the elements. Very responsive when I have questions/problems. Pretty streamlined to use and user friendly. It seems much more geared to winemakers and cellars than other database programs (I have used 4 others in the past). The mobile option is very user friendly and easy to use as well. Good help content for troubleshooting on your own as well. Fast to record actions and move between tabs/pages.

Inconvénients :

Missing a couple features that I enjoyed from older database programs, but they are adding more stuff every month.

Software is easy to use, but with a few bugs. Still lacking functionality and breadth of reporting

Avantages :

I like the aesthetics and the intuitive interface. The searchability and sorting features do make it easy to navigate. I also like the direct connectivity to ETS (I wish the connectivity to Enartis were established too)

Inconvénients :

- We are still getting many popup notifications "Something went wrong... try again" _ I wish the link between the vessel and the lot number was a lot tighter and more interchangeable (It would be easier to make work orders by entering either the lot number or the vessel, vs lot number first and then choose the vessel - Lot numbers use a lot more characters than tank numbers and it is often, not always easier to remember a tank number than a complicated lot acronym) - I wish Exports to Excel would be more comprehensive - I would love to be able to make corrections in the past without having to re-enter every subsequent operations.

Solid Product that does Wine Production well!

Commentaires : I use it from a business perspective as an Owner of the winery. I like the high level information I can get at a glance and the detailed information I can get when I really want to dig into the data.

Avantages :

I like the overall user interface and that it is very intuitive to use. They also take feedback and incorporate it as new features if it gets enough demand.

Inconvénients :

There are a few things that I think would make life easier on the Remove Tax Paid section but overall it's solid.

Best wine production software I've ever used

Commentaires : What can I say? I love everything about it. Implementation and training go quite smoothly and operation is a breeze. I don't myself use the vineyard module, but I hear good things. Overall, Innovint pays for itself many times over in eliminating frustration and minimizing wasted labor.

Avantages :

Written by winemakers, Innovint functionality is intuitively obvious to any winemaker with zero learning curve. Its cloud-based interface isn't subject to viruses and hacking and is accessible from any device anywhere. I love being able to drill down from my California office into the details of my mid-western winery clients' activities. The 3D tank maps are a big step up from the old dry erase board - I got my wall space back!

Inconvénients :

I wish there were a planning tool to try out racking scenarios in a separate "sandbox." I also wish there were customizable icons for the 3D map, as we have some pretty weird vessel configurations. Another concern is that when I recommend the software, I'm never quite sure what they're charging now. I got in when it was incredibly cheap, so I don't begrudge the price increases, but I hope they've stabilized now.
