What they have to say:

It’s been a big year of change for us here at Greystone/Muddy water with a new winery and more wines being made. We installed the Vinsight system to help us manage the record keeping and found it an invaluable resource for keeping up to date information available for us in the winery. We have been through 4 audits this year since the beginning of harvest and each of the auditors were impressed with the system; tracking and traceability are one of the key advantages of using Vinsight, and especially important for a winery making high quality organic wines. Our clients are happy with the system as well, we can provide up to date laboratory results and track operations on their wines at the touch of a button. Vinsight is useful to us for tracking inputs to wines during the winemaking process, and the ability to track costs as we go makes it simple for budgeting and cost-tracking purposes. Simply put – Vinsight is the best option for winemaking data – from harvest to the bottle!

Gavin Tait, Greystone Wines

We produce wine for several customers on the Island and the decision to use Vinsight has increased the efficiency of working with multiple batches, vineyard blocks and products. Having used another system in the past, I have found Vinsight to allow greater flexibility and simplicity in both operation and reporting, I find myself spending far less time in front of the computer updating records and auditing, allowing greater time on the floor and in the vineyard.

…I have had exposure to both of the major software packages readily available to New Zealand winemakers. Vinsight is a package that provides a comprehensive record keeping system with plenty of room available for winemaking notes for future reference. As such it gives more than simply record-keeping. Vinsight is structured in such a way that the operator can easily move between ‘screens’ without having to close down other areas first – this operator ease makes system management very flexible. In my opinion Vinsight is the best record-keeping software available to winery production personnel…

Kel Dixon, Links Winery

I have been working with Vinsight Software at Olssen’s for 3 years.The data-keeping aspect of Winemaking is most Winemaker’s nightmare but Vinsight makes it systematic and easy and I can’t imagine going through an audit without it.We also find its a great tool for running cellar tasks during harvest.When I have used the support desk they are always very professional and patient and they seem to have a genuine interest in the success of our business and our wines which makes them like an honorary part of our team.

Jen Parr, Olssen’s of Bannockburn

I’ve had a few different auditors through (everything is sooooo regulated these days) and they particularly like the Vinsight system – Customs & Excise were particularly impressed, said it was the best they’ve come across. So thanks, guys, for all your hard work.

Brenda Marris, Mills Reef Winery

The setup was easy, there are handy winemaking tools and the reporting section is excellent

Andy Nicole, Kurow Estate Winery

Vinsight proves to be a powerful tool that allows us to manage traceability from individual vineyard blocks to the bottle. On request, their technical team developed specific record keeping additions to suit our Ontario winemaking regulations. We have been very satisfied with their quick response time and professional level of service.

Marlize Beyers, Hidden Bench

…We produce Cider, Fruit Wines and Fruit Vinegars and bottle on site in very small batches from large bulk wine tanks. Vinsight has been extremely helpful keeping track of each batch. The set up process was incredibly easy and there is always someone on the other end of the phone to help out at any time. I would definitely recommend this software…
