The system is focused on wine production and designed to be managed and run through mobile devices. Work orders can be sent di- rectly to users working in the cellar, where they can update wine and work order status. The system can toggle between different wineries and also offers user-based permissions so custom-crush clients or others can have read-only access for reporting or tracking purposes. InnoVint provides vineyard tracking as well as smartphone QR code scanning for barrels and other vessels. The company recently integrated its system with ETS Labo- ratories. The system can produce wine or juice sample labels, and when results are ready from ETS that data is automatically entered into the In- noVint system and matched with the right lots. InnoVint's system is also integrated with FOSS analytical devices and any third-party lab companies using FOSS equipment. Other new features include a dry goods and addi- tive inventory tracking and price calculation as well as full-cost tracking for a wine lot through its entire history.
