Cellar app rescue

Off the old desktop program, nothing lost.

Many producers run production on a program that one person understands and no vendor supports. We move you to a web and mobile app built around how your cellar works, and bring every record across, checked against the old system before it is switched off.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

Every record carried across

Tanks, barrels, batches and history moved from the old program and spreadsheets, then checked with you line by line.

Recorded where the work happens

Readings, photos and moves entered on a phone on the floor, not copied in at the end of the day.

Both systems side by side first

The old program keeps running until you are happy the new one matches it.

No single point of failure

The new app runs in the cloud with backups, not on one office computer.

Cellar and production records

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A distillery keeps barrels, batches and bottling runs in spreadsheets and a desktop program from years ago that runs on one office computer and no longer gets updates.

// What we would build

A web app for the office and an Android app for the floor that replace the old program and the spreadsheets: every tank, barrel, batch and bottling run recorded where the work happens, with the old records moved across and checked.

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Can you read records from our old cellar program?

Usually, from its database or its exports. We look at a copy first and tell you what can be moved before we quote.

Will the cellar app work in a barrel room with poor signal?

It can keep working without a connection and send its records when the signal returns, if you need that.

Does the new production app file our returns for us?

No. It produces the figures your returns ask for; filing them stays with you and your advisers.
