You say what happened.
The record keeps itself.
Spreadsheets and ERPs were built for other jobs. InnoVint and vintrace were built for wineries, and they have the longer track record. What BarrelLogic changes is who does the data entry: you say what happened, and the record files itself. Where we're behind, the table below says so.
Racked FR-112 into Tank 3 this morning. 58 gallons, left about half a gallon of lees.
Cellar drafted 3 records
ExampleMovement · FR-112 → Tank 3 · 58.0 gal
Bulk-wine ledger
Loss · 0.4 gal lees, Lot 24-SY
5120.17 draft, inventory losses
Work order · Clean and steam FR-112
Cellar crew · Thu 7:00 AM
Waiting for your approval
Three alternatives
Where BarrelLogic is different.
vs. spreadsheets
Still tracking barrels in Excel?
Ask “which barrels need SO₂ this week?” and get the barrels, the chemistry trend and a drafted work order. The cellar map, the briefings and the 5120.17 draft all read the same live record.
VA · FR-112, flagged on the way up · illustrative
The alternative
Manual entry and no alerts. A spreadsheet doesn't notice a VA trend, and one wrong formula changes the record without anyone seeing it.
vs. InnoVint and vintrace
BarrelLogic does the entry.
Specialists that speak winemaking — barrels, lots, Brix, SO₂. Tell Cellar what you did; it drafts the record, the movement on the ledger and the next step, and waits for your approval.
The alternative
Winery-built systems of record, with a longer track record. Each addition, movement and reading is entered by your team, form by form.
vs. ERP systems
No implementation project.
Your workspace the same day. Import your exports, approve the mapping, and the first briefing reads your history that week. Every plan has unlimited users.
The alternative
ERP rollouts are measured in months and consultants, and the software was built for other industries first.
