A New Era In Winemaking: A Leading Global Beverage Producer and vintrace’s Journey In Market Leadership

A revolution has quietly unfolded in the sprawling vineyards of Napa, Sonoma, Lodi, Central Valley, and the Central Coast of California. A leading global beverage producer has embarked on a transformative journey, setting a new standard in the winemaking industry.

The Beginning Of A New Chapter

In early 2024, a leading global beverage producer announced the successful launch of its wine division onto vintrace Wine Cloud, Encompass Technologies’ wine production software. This marks a significant milestone in modern winemaking for the leading beverage producer. With an impressive portfolio across nearly a dozen locations and a reputation for excellence, the shift from a legacy system to a secure, cloud-based winery management solution is a testament to its commitment to leading the industry with modern technology.

The Complexity Of Change For An Enterprise Winery

The scale and complexity of this leading global beverage producer cannot be overstated. As a beacon in the U.S. wine industry, managing vast operations with complex revenue streams and the intricacies of wine production, compliance, and distribution across the globe, presents a formidable challenge. The transition to vintrace signifies more than a software change; it's a strategic move to future-proof their business in an ever-evolving market.

vintrace has emerged as the essential technology for enterprise wineries like Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, Foley Family Wines, Delegat Limited, and Accolade Wines, aiming to overcome industry challenges. The company’s investment in a cloud-based solution with SSO security, mobile capabilities, and integration with SAP for financial reporting offers unparalleled connectivity for unified reporting and compliance tracking. However, it's not just about managing wineries; it's about redefining and modernizing winery management best practices.

“The complexity and scale of this company’s operations necessitated more than just a robust platform; it required a forward-looking vision specifically for the wine industry. With vintrace, we've embarked on a mission to transform not just how the company operates its wineries but also how they envision its growth and sustainability in a rapidly evolving industry with a partner that can scale with them. This collaboration is a testament to our shared dedication to excellence and innovation, setting new standards for the industry at large."

The Implementation Journey To A Successful Start With Modern Winery Production Software

The journey to this milestone was not a simple one. The project's length and the need to maintain focus on anticipated business outcomes required strong collaborative efforts. Ultimately, the commitment to get things right culminated in a robust winemaking and TTB reporting solution, spanning both wine and spirit production.

Each individual’s unwavering commitment ensured that the transition to vintrace was seamless and custom work resulted in impactful real-time tracking and unified reporting that set the wineries up for long-term success. The implementation was a colossal team effort, with meaningful contributions from various team divisions. 

With plans to expand into new markets and consideration of the adoption of Encompass Production Cloud specifically for managing distilling and alternative beverage production, the partnership is poised for further growth. This endeavor demonstrates the exceptional value of Encompass’s Professional Services team, and the company’s collective vision to bring leading producers into the modern beverage industry while highlighting their dedication to delivering a platform that future-proofs the business.
