01
Review your files
Identify which spreadsheets hold your parcels, harvests, cellar batches and production activities, and who maintains them.
FROM EXCEL TO WINERY SOFTWARE
Less time joining files. More clarity about your wine.
When vineyard, harvest and cellar records live in separate spreadsheets, following a wine takes extra work. Explore a practical way to move towards connected records in Trace Your Craft.

PLAN A MANAGEABLE TRANSITION
Start small. Follow one real production story.
Explore a suggested transition plan. The right starting point depends on your files, production process and team.
02
Choose a starting point
Agree which part of the workflow to organise first, such as vineyard work, harvest reception or cellar records.
03
Agree the structure
Review your parcel names, batch references and storage units so your team can recognise its own production.
04
Walk through one batch
Use a familiar wine or harvest batch to discuss the links between origins, transfers, cellar operations and bottling.
05
Set a daily routine
Agree who records each activity and when, then review the information together before broadening the scope.
WHAT CHANGES IN DAILY WORK
From separate files to a connected production history.
Spreadsheets can hold useful information. The question is how easily your team can connect that information when a production question comes up.
01
Find the relevant information
Explore how vineyard, harvest and cellar records relate, instead of reconstructing the links between separate files.
02
Keep the batch relationships
Follow the connections between contributing batches, recorded operations and the resulting wine.
03
Build a shared working routine
Discuss a consistent way for your team to record production work and review the history behind each wine.
MAKE THE FIRST DEMO CONCRETE
Bring one spreadsheet. Start with one question.
Choose a file your team uses today and a question you often need to answer: where a batch came from, what happened to it, or how it connects to a finished wine.
During the demo, we can review the structure and discuss a suitable scope. Data preparation, historical records and any import possibilities need to be assessed for your situation.
Discover the complete platformQUESTIONS ABOUT MOVING FROM EXCEL
Before we meet.
Can I bring my current Excel files to the demo?
Yes. A representative example helps us understand your structure and discuss how your vineyard, harvest or cellar records could be organised.
Can all my historical data be imported automatically?
Import possibilities depend on your file formats, data quality and the records involved. We first need to review an example and agree what can be carried over and how.
Do we need to change every workflow at once?
We can discuss a focused starting scope during the demo. The transition plan should reflect your production calendar, team and the information you need first.
How long will the transition take?
The time depends on your scope, data preparation and team availability. Bring your priorities to the demo so we can discuss a realistic next step.
LET’S LOOK AT YOUR CURRENT WORKFLOW
Make your next step clearer.
Bring a spreadsheet, a typical batch and your main questions. In a 30-minute demo, explore how Trace Your Craft could fit the way your winery works.
