What’s Happening In Wineries
Since COVID-19 emerged in early 2020, businesses in various industries have undergone much disruption. Wineries from all corners of the world are no exception to the impacts caused by the situation and as a result, face new challenges.
In Australia alone, new Chinese tariffs are bringing a different set of hurdles to the industry. Additionally, the average price of Australian wine grapes is forecast to fall due to the loss of China as a significant export market.
Despite the obstacles, one thing is sure: Wine manufacturers need to adapt to these new challenges. One way to do this is by adopting technology to strengthen already existing business strategies.
Wineries share similarities with the manufacturing industry. As a business that consists of time-sensitive operations typically involved in the winemaking process – such as harvesting, fermenting, or bottling – efficient operation methods are crucial.
The wine industry can help to stay prepared and anticipate future challenges by implementing integrated systems and process automation. To achieve this, many wineries are investing in an ERP software solution tailored to the needs of a winery.

Why Do Wineries Need an ERP Solution
Deploying a software solution is nothing new in traditional manufacturing companies. However, using technology for end-to-end processes may be a more unusual solution for winemakers.
To overcome the challenges of integrating financial, operational and distribution processes on a day-to-day basis, manufacturing companies rely on an ERP software solution to streamline their operations and manage their day-to-day processes. A winery can do similar, to gain better visibility of their business.
Of course, wineries have their own set of unique pressures and challenges adding to their daily operations. But with a bespoke ERP software solution catered to wineries, you can reap the following benefits:
- Receive automatic alerts when your cellar door is experiencing low stocks
- Obtain complete visibility of your entire winery in one simple dashboard, covering sales, operations, customers, and finance
- Automatic WET calculations
- Real-time customer data to create segmented marketing campaigns
- Easy integration between your website, accounting system, POS, CRM, and other relevant marketing platforms.
At the end of the day, every winery owner simply wants to make great wine. And to make great wine, owners must manage their critical processes and business functions in a way that supports their entire process: from growing the grapes to the sale of the finished product.
