Companies specializing in viticulture use vineyard management software to manage plantations of grape vines. Vineyard management software can be used for vineyard design, plantation maintenance, and grape harvest tracking. By using this type of software, viticulturists can improve grape production and quality, optimize vineyard capacity, and prevent viticultural hazards or diseases.
Some vineyard management solutions also provide functionality for winery management, while others only offer integration with this type of software. Integration with accounting software is also delivered in order to track and manage costs, expenses, bills, and more.
To qualify for inclusion in the Vineyard Management category, a product must:
- Include design features for vineyards and irrigation systems
- Manage plantation maintenance activities such as mowing, weed management, or pest control
- Track the equipment needed for activities like spraying or harvesting
- Schedule personnel and equipment for harvesting or other activities
- Collect information on grape quality and offer comparisons by year, region, or grape type
- Provide information on viticultural hazards and how to prevent and control them
