Twelve years ago, when Ashley Leonard and Dan Strengier first brought InnoVint’s unique, data-based software to the wine industry, it would have been difficult to comprehend how fully AI technology would revolutionize winery operations.
But that’s exactly what’s happening with InnoVint’s all-in-one winery operating system that’s been empowering wineries since its inception: InnoVint is now weaving AI throughout its cutting-edge platform to make functions like Vineyard Tracking, Wine Production, Inventory Management and Cost Accounting practices easier and more effective than ever before.
Strengier, InnoVint’s Co-Founder and CTO describes InnoVint’s new AI capabilities as “exponentially more efficient.”
“AI can literally capture analyses written on a messy napkin and import a 30-page PDF document flawlessly,” Strengier testifies. “It can create complex work orders for panels of analytics and additions on tanks in seconds – and do it from anywhere. Doing this work manually just isn’t a great use of those precious human resources’ time anymore.”
InnoVint has introduced its AI-powered functionality across three key wine production workflow areas:
- AI Analysis Import – allows winery teams to snap a photo of handwritten notes or lab results and automatically associate that data with inventory in InnoVint.
- AI Generated Reports – wineries can generate reports using plain language on text and voice in mobile devices, enabling them to quickly review data on items like alcohol levels, fermentation progress or comparing lot VAs.
- AI Work Order Creation – enables wineries to quickly translate short text or voice instructions into structured work orders within InnoVint, streamlining this time-consuming but essential part of cellar operations.
Customers are enthusiastically embracing how InnoVint’s AI technology simplifies and enhances winery operations.
“I am absolutely blown away by how well the AI did on our existing brix & temp sheet.” – Mark Bui-Ford, One Hope Wines
“The Image Upload feature works perfectly and is much easier than manually uploading or scanning the QR code to enter info.” – Alicia Whitby, Los Pinos Ranch Vineyards
“My team isn’t coming to me anymore, just handing me a brix and temp sheet saying, ‘Here it is.’ They’re saying, ‘Kyle, you need to go check tank four. This curve doesn’t make any sense. Do you want to make any adjustments?’ That’s how you’re making better wine.” – Kyle Altomare, Gloria Ferrer
These customer experiences reflect the broader shift InnoVint is seeing across the industry: winery teams are no longer approaching AI as an abstract concept, but as a practical tool that can reduce manual work, improve visibility and support better decision-making in real production environments.
“Dan and I have been pleasantly surprised by the reaction to the inclusion of AI into InnoVint’s options for our winery customers,” confirms Leonard, InnoVint’s Co-Founder and CEO.
“Everything we do at InnoVint is intentional; we’re focused on adding value to wineries. The proof that it’s working is seeing wineries using our technology in a real way with real results.”
