The activity of a wine grower brings much satisfaction, but it is also quite complicated, because he must turn into a meteorologist, agronomist, chemist, agricultural machine operator, mechanic, an excellent planner and organizer. All these roles can be quite complicated to juggle, especially in the case of a small wine cellar. In addition to this, obtaining quality grapes and wine is highly influenced by factors that cannot be controlled, namely the weather conditions.

Management software allows growers to improve their performance, better manage their resources and allocate them for performing live activities, monitor bioclimatic information, and based on all this data collected, make better decisions faster.

Keep traceability of vineyard activities

Maintain traceability of all activities undertaken alive. Whether you need the document for the control of the authorities, agricultural subsidies or your internal needs, such as the performance of the worker or the material used.

Work becomes more efficient

Staff management improves efficiency. You can track the performance of employees or day laborers and reward performance. There will be no dead times on the day and no confusion about the tasks to be performed.

Monitor the weather and soil parameters

Connecting with live sensors or weather stations allows you to access real-time microclimate data. Not only can this data be used to take real-time action in the event of frost or to know when to irrigate or sprinkle vines against diseases, but it can, in the long run, help improve grape quality.

Apply treatments only when and where you need them

Applying treatments only when there is a real danger of developing the disease, instead of splashing on a calendar basis, can help you significantly reduce costs.

Track and plan your costs in real time

Track the costs with the machines and labor to know how much you spent on each vineyard job. Seeing your costs in real time helps you plan your budget and calculate the cost of grape production. Knowing the basic costs of grape production helps you determine the price of grapes / wine and maximize profit so that you do not sell below the cost of production.
