Constellation manages multiple sites with powerful insights with the vintrace API and BI tools

Seamlessly integrating popular business intelligence tools like PowerBI with the vintrace API can give you additional insight into your winery operations, and allows you to correlate data from your existing database and spreadsheets with data stored within vintrace.

The 2020 vintage saw an influx in the number of wineries wanting to use existing reporting tools with their winery data in vintrace to increase efficiency and save hours of manual reporting. By integrating their BI tools with the vintrace API operational staff were able to plan, track, and make critical decisions more efficiently. Business owners were able to garner additional useful insights.

“We were able to view actual work order data against short, medium, and long-term plans and labour data,” said Greg Crosby, Drylands Winery Site Leader, Constellation Brands. “A single hub of consolidated data not only gives us a live view of performance but allows us to make faster, data-based decisions. Over harvest, the integration has saved us an hour per day. vintrace’s collaboration on integration is a significant advantage.”

Being able to get live up-to-date harvest information in a dashboard that is actionable across different departments is critical, especially when team members are working remotely. Additionally, a shared dashboard allows team members to view the data without having to log into multiple platforms or even into the software.

“Our daily meetings were action-focused knowing that the data was live and up to date. Without being physically on site the vintrace integrated Power BI visuals allowed us to understand what was happening at each site”, said Jeremy, Analytics and Reporting Manager, Constellation Brands.

“Staff would previously have to update reports manually. During Harvest the ability to integrate with PowerBI gave our management team easy access to our Fruit Intake volumes.” said Shane, Management Accountant, Giesen. “The functionality allowed comparison against previous years by vineyard, grower, and varietal. This improved overall visibility of Harvest performance. It would certainly put vintrace ahead of other systems which could not provide this functionality for business reporting.”
