Having an accurate case goods inventory count at all times is critical to successful winery management, yet many still rely on manual, outdated spreadsheets that only get periodically updated. This makes inventory reconciliation frustrating, compliance reporting difficult, and doesn’t provide a clear view of what’s available to sell to inform demand and the sales team.
At InnoVint, we believe wineries need a smarter, more connected way to manage inventory. One that integrates seamlessly with production, sales, and financial operations. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce SUPPLY, InnoVint’s case goods inventory management solution and the newest cornerstone of our vision for a fully integrated winery operating system.
The InnoVint Vision: An End-to-End Winery Operating System
For years, wineries have been forced to manage different parts of their business using disconnected tools. Vineyard data, winemaking data, inventory tracking, and associated costs were spread across a variety of resources. This fragmentation slows down operations, creates inefficiencies, and makes it difficult to make informed decisions.
InnoVint’s vision is to change that. Our platform unifies every critical aspect of winery operations into one seamless system, eliminating silos and empowering teams with real-time visibility and actionable insights across the entire business. Our vision for SUPPLY is to provide wineries with a fully connected solution that bridges production, inventory, sales, and finance, offering a transformative approach to operations.
Here’s how InnoVint’s all-in-one winery operating system works together:
- GROW – Track vineyard data, yields, and seasonal activity.
- MAKE – Manage all winemaking from crush to bottling with daily work order management.
- [COMING SOON!] SUPPLY – Streamline case goods inventory, ensuring accuracy and compliance across all storage locations.
- FINANCE – Gain financial clarity with COGS tracking, SKU profitability, and more.
The Old Way vs The New Way: The Inventory Challenge Wineries Can No Longer Ignore
For many wineries, managing case goods inventory is an ongoing challenge that slows down operations, creates compliance headaches, and introduces costly inefficiencies. Without a centralized source of truth, inventory tracking is often scattered across spreadsheets, outdated systems, or disconnected tools.
Movements between bonded and taxpaid locations are difficult to track, increasing the risk of errors in TTB 5120.17 reporting and leading to heightened stress at audit time. Meanwhile, production and inventory are often managed in silos, making it nearly impossible to tie production costs to inventory value—a major blind spot for assessing SKU profitability.
Sales and marketing teams also face challenges, struggling to understand what’s still available to sell vs. what’s been allocated or already sold through sales channels. Without real-time visibility, wineries risk selling products that are out of stock, underestimating inventory that is available to sell, knowing true library wine availability, or unknowingly keeping inventory on hand for too long.
The old way? Spreadsheets, manual reconciliations, and disjointed systems that require hours of tedious work just to get a single accurate count.
The new way? InnoVint’s case goods inventory management solution, SUPPLY, a centralized, real-time inventory management solution built specifically for wineries that manage inventory across locations.
