What is Vinsight?Vinsight is a winery management software package designed for small to mid sized companies aiming for quality winemaking information. It is designed to deliver management information, winemaking and QA information and aims to aid in regulatory compliance with record keeping. It currently keeps and reports vineyard maturity data, winemaking operations history, wine compositions for label integrity, lab analysis, stock records, ordering, invoicing and despatch (makes excise returns very easy) and more is planned.What features does Vinsight have in the Winery?Vinsight records all fruit parcels coming into the winery and all the treatments, additions, operations and analyses that relate to the wine made. The use of Vinsight is designed to facilitate more time making wine and less time keeping records about it. There is a graphical representation of your tanks and winery that gives you a quick reference to information on tank contents. Wine composition and breakdown gives you exact information on which blocks and batches make up the blend with which additives. From the quality point of view you are able to easily see the history of how you made that award winning wine or look at different winemaking treatments in a trial. Please take our brief on-line features tour.What about the Vineyard?Currently Vinsight allows you to track maturity data on many vineyards and blocks within vineyards and store information on blocks such as varieties and clones. Vinsight then follows the fruit off these blocks into the winery allowing you to identify which blocks end up in which finished wines. The Vineyard side of the software is being expanded with the eventual aim to have crop prediction, Met Data, Soil Analyses and Vineyard operations all incorporated into the information database in future upgrades.Who develops and supports Vinsight?Vinsight is developed and supported by users of the system from within the wine industry. Vinsight is not an accounting package nor was it developed by computer programmers locked away in small rooms. The system is developed in conjunction with winemakers that have used the system and are continuing to suggest developments and improvements.The interface is graphical and should be familiar for those of you who have used any standard office software, there are many of the same keys strokes and functions as most windows programs. Minimum System Requirements:This package requires Windows 95 operating software or higher. This package was developed on a Pentium 200 with 40 MB of RAM and it performs sufficiently well. There may be performance problems on a slower machine and may not run with less RAM. So if you are currently looking at upgrading anyway then I would recommend it as it makes the whole experience more enjoyable.Further Information:For further information please contact us directly. |
