GullySystem
Food & Beverage · Winery Management Software

One connected system for harvest, vintages, cellar movements, bottling, club and trade sales.

Manage a winery in one system. Fruit is recorded at harvest by block and grower, and each lot is followed through fermentation, blending and ageing. Tanks and barrels show what they hold. Bottling runs draw on dry goods and create finished stock, which then serves the cellar door, the wine club and trade buyers.

  • Blocks, vessels, wines and price lists entered as your winery works
  • Vintage history, stock counts and member lists migrated
  • GullySystem makes product and club changes on request

From a family estate to a large cellar, wineries use it, and GullySystem configures it around your blocks and vessels. Vineyard managers, winemakers, cellar staff, the cellar door and the trade desk work from it. Each lot carries its blocks, additions, vessels and bottlings. Finished stock is held by wine, vintage and allocation.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Lot history is hard to rebuild

A blend may draw on several tanks and barrels from different blocks. The path from fruit to bottle is spread across notebooks and files.

Vessel contents are not visible

Which wine sits in which tank or barrel, and when it was last topped up, depends on one person’s memory or a printed sheet.

Cellar work is not scheduled

Racking, topping up, additions and lab checks are remembered rather than assigned. A missed task is found on the next walk round.

Dry goods run short at bottling

Glass, closures, capsules and labels are ordered by estimate. A shortage is found when the line is booked.

Member and visitor lists drift apart

Club members, tasting bookings and bottle sales sit in different tools. Allocations are decided from partial data.

Trade orders and stock disagree

Distributor orders, club allocations and cellar door bottles are counted separately. The same case can be promised twice.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Harvest intake

    Each load is recorded by block, variety and grower, with weight and condition, and assigned to the vintage.

  2. 2

    Fermentation

    Fruit becomes lots in tanks. Temperatures, additions and lab results are recorded against each lot.

  3. 3

    Ageing and blending

    Lots move to barrels and tanks. Blends record their source lots and volumes, so each wine can be traced back.

  4. 4

    Bottling

    A work order draws glass, closures and labels from dry goods stock and records bottles produced by lot.

  5. 5

    Allocation

    Finished wine is set aside for the cellar door, the club and trade buyers before orders are taken.

  6. 6

    Sales

    Visitors, members and trade buyers order from the same stock, and invoices and shipments follow.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Vineyard blocks and harvest intake

Record picks by block, variety and grower, with weights and receiving notes tied to the vintage.

Vintage and lot records

Follow each lot through fermentation, blending and ageing, with lab results and additions on one record.

Tank and barrel register

Show what each vessel holds, its volume, its history and the next scheduled task.

Cellar tasks

Assign racking, topping up, additions and lab checks to staff with due dates, and see what is overdue.

Lab and quality records

Keep analysis results and tasting notes per lot, with a trail of the changes made after each result.

Bottling and work orders

Plan a bottling run, draw down glass, closures and labels, and record the bottles produced per lot.

Dry goods and supplies stock

Tally glass, closures, capsules, labels and cartons against reorder levels, and raise supplier orders from the shortfall.

Cellar stock and allocations

Count finished wine by wine, vintage and location, and set aside allocations for each sales channel.

Cellar door and bookings

Take tasting and tour bookings, sell bottles at the counter and record each visitor against a customer.

Wine club

Run seasonal club shipments, member preferences and scheduled charges, with failed payments listed.

Trade orders and invoices

Record orders from distributors and restaurants, ship from stock, and raise invoices with the right tax settings.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Each lot keeps its blocks, additions and vessels, and blends record their source lots, so a bottle traces back through the cellar.

  • Warehouse Management

    Every tank and barrel is a location with contents, volume and history, so the cellar reads as a map of what sits where.

  • Task Management

    Racking, topping up, additions and lab checks get one owner and a due date, and overdue work is listed for the winemaker.

  • Quality Control

    Analysis results and tasting notes are logged per lot, with each change made afterwards recorded against the result that prompted it.

  • Work Order Management

    A bottling order names the lot, the format and the quantity, draws dry goods and records bottles filled at each stage.

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    Glass, closures, capsules and labels are counted, and a reorder alert fires before a booked bottling run would be short.

  • Subscription Billing

    Members are charged each season on their plan, shipments are generated from preferences and failed payments are listed for follow-up.

  • Point of Sale Billing

    Counter sales bill bottles and tasting fees, record the customer and draw down cellar door stock at the time of sale.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

Winemaker

See each lot’s history, what every vessel holds, tasks due and wines ready to blend or bottle.

Vineyard and cellar staff

Record intake, transfers and additions, and follow the task list for the day.

Cellar door and club team

Take bookings, sell bottles, manage members and prepare each club shipment.

Owner and trade desk

Read stock and allocations by wine, follow trade orders and see sales by channel.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Vintage yield by block and variety
  • Vessel contents and fill levels
  • Tasks overdue in the cellar
  • Dry goods stock and reorder list
  • Stock and allocation by wine and vintage
  • Club shipments and failed payments
  • Sales by channel, wine and customer
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Family estates with a cellar door
  • Producers selling mainly to trade
  • Wineries running a wine club
  • Custom crush and contract winemakers
  • Estates with vineyards and a winery on one site
  • Wine groups with more than one label
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A grower who sells all fruit and makes no wine does not need cellar records.
  • A winery with automated cellar control will keep that system and use this alongside it.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Is this winery software or general stock software?

Winery software. Blocks, vintages, lots, vessels and bottling runs are built in, rather than added to a stock list.

Is a blend traceable back to its vineyards?

Yes. Each blend records its source lots and volumes, and each lot records its blocks, so a bottle can be traced back.

Are barrels managed?

Yes. Each barrel has a record with contents, volume, history and scheduled tasks, such as topping up or racking.

How does the wine club work?

Members choose preferences and a schedule. The system prepares each shipment, charges members and lists payments that failed.

What about online sales?

Orders from a web shop can be recorded and drawn from the same stock. Which alcohol shipping rules apply depends on the regions or countries you sell into, and your adviser confirms them during the build.

Does it handle custom crush clients?

Yes. Lots can be marked as belonging to a client, with their own records, tasks and invoices.

Can we import our past vintages?

Yes. Vintage records, stock counts and member lists are imported, and the winemaker checks them before the next harvest.

Who owns the data?

The winery does. The proposal agrees in what form your records are handed back if the contract ends.

What does it cost?

No price is published. Users, the size of the cellar and the sales channels you run shape the figure. We demonstrate first, then send a proposal.

Does a small estate need this much?

Possibly not yet. With one wine and a few customers, a notebook and a sheet may do. A requirements workshop can say so plainly.

Wondering what it costs? Six questions give you a written scope and the buckets any quote should separate.
