Because every establishment is different, there's no one-size-fits-all solution to managing wine inventory. Most will agree that manual spreadsheets are inadequate for maintaining accurate inventory with all the relevant info for each wine. While certain elements may be controlled by off-the-shelf cellar software, or point-of-sale tools, what's really needed is a broad-based solution that tracks every bottle from the time it arrives until the time it's served.
eSommelier understands wine inventory better than anyone. Based on your unique requirements, we'll craft a hardware/software wine barcode solution that's powerful, yet simple enough for anyone to use.
You can't manage what you can't measure.
Customer Spotlight: Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts
Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts has a $30 million investment in wine distributed across 70 magnificent properties from Hong Kong to Paris. When people started walking into one hotel to buy bottles of Chateau Margaux because it was priced far below market value, it was clear they had a serious problem. As it turned out, each property was tracking inventory manually on Excel spreadsheets. There was no central business intelligence on what they were buying, storing, selling, and transporting.
Shangri-La's Vice President of Food & Beverage, contacted eSommelier with this problem. We developed a browser-based, wine management Intranet, customized for the organizations unique requirements. This solution provided headquarters with visibility and strict control over wine management, while giving each property responsibility for their collection. eSommelier's solution allowed Shangri-La to make better wine buying decisions across the organization, track sales patterns, and increase profitability.
