What InnoVint is

A cloud winery management platform, built in Napa, California. It tracks wine from vineyard to bottle: lots, vessels, additions, work orders, lab results, case-goods inventory, and the compliance records US wineries owe the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The vendor states that more than 2,000 wine brands run on it. Together with vintrace, it is one of the two most visible specialist systems in the US wine industry.

The company behind it

InnoVint, Inc. was founded in 2013 by Ashley DuBois Leonard and co-founder Dan Strengier. Leonard is a winemaker with a viticulture and enology degree from UC Davis who had worked winery roles ranging from cellar operations to general management, and the founding premise was to replace spreadsheet and paper cellar records with a mobile-first system. The business has stayed independent and privately held, still headquartered in Napa.

Core functionality

Lot tracking across tanks, barrels, and bottles forms the spine. Cellar teams execute work orders on phones and tablets through an offline-capable mobile app, and lab data capture plus blending trials sit alongside.

Compliance is the second pillar. The platform generates the TTB 5120.17 report directly on the official form and supports FDA-oriented lot traceability. A Supply module manages case-goods inventory across locations including excise tax handling, add-ons cover vineyard tracking (Grow) and cost accounting (Finance), and custom crush facilities get client visibility with permission controls and alternating-proprietor compliance. General ledger and full financials are deliberately left out, handled instead through integrations with accounting systems such as QuickBooks.

Best-fit companies

US wineries of most sizes, from boutique producers up to multi-site operations, plus custom crush and alternating-proprietorship facilities that make wine for multiple client brands. The compliance model is built around US federal and state reporting, and the customer base is concentrated in the major American wine regions. Buyers outside the US therefore get less out of exactly the part of the product that is hardest to replicate.

Licensing, hosting, cost

Delivery is SaaS only, with the mobile app for cellar work. InnoVint publishes its package structure (Core, Plus, Custom Crush, and Supply, with Grow and Finance as add-ons) but no dollar amounts; quotes depend on production volume and the modules selected. Every package includes unlimited users, which is unusually sensible in a business whose headcount swells for harvest.

Where it wins, where it loses

Wineries that want production, compliance, and costing handled properly, and are content to run accounting next door, should have this on the shortlist. For small and midsize producers the boundary is a feature rather than a gap: an accounting package plus a strong production system is simpler to operate than a monolithic suite, and TTB reporting comes out of what the cellar actually did instead of being reconstructed after the fact.

It is the wrong pick for a larger wine business that wants consolidated financials, direct-to-consumer commerce, and distribution in one place. There is no general ledger, and order-to-cash beyond case-goods inventory lives in other tools, so this is not a full ERP system and does not pretend to be. Companies in that position should treat it as the production layer of a best-of-breed stack and budget the integration work honestly. The head-to-head that matters is against vintrace, and the sensible way to settle it is to run both through a real harvest workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Is InnoVint a full ERP system?

No. It is a winery production and compliance platform rather than a complete ERP suite. It covers lot tracking, work orders, lab data, costing, and case-goods inventory, but general ledger and full financials are handled by integrated accounting systems such as QuickBooks. Wineries that need consolidated financials in a single system typically pair InnoVint with an accounting or ERP backbone and plan for that integration from the start.

How does InnoVint handle TTB compliance?

Production activities are recorded as they happen, and the platform generates the TTB 5120.17 report of wine premises operations directly onto the official, editable form. State-specific reporting and FDA-oriented lot traceability are supported as well. Because records are captured at work-order level, the reporting reflects actual cellar activity rather than an end-of-period reconstruction.

What size of winery is InnoVint designed for?

The package structure scales from boutique producers on the Core tier up to multi-site operations using the Supply module for distributed case-goods inventory. Unlimited users are included in every package, which suits seasonal harvest staffing. Very large wine companies with complex corporate financials usually treat the platform as the production layer within a broader system landscape rather than as their central system.

Does InnoVint support custom crush facilities?

Custom crush is a dedicated package with client-facing visibility, permission controls, and alternating proprietor compliance. Client wineries can see the status of their own lots without seeing data belonging to other customers, which makes the platform relevant for contract winemaking operations that must keep records separated by proprietor for TTB purposes.

What does InnoVint cost?

Package tiers are published, dollar amounts are not; pricing is quoted individually based on production volume and the modules selected. The unlimited-user model means costs do not climb with seasonal headcount. Budgeting should account for add-ons such as vineyard tracking and cost accounting, plus any integration work with the winery accounting system.

How does InnoVint compare with vintrace?

They are the two most visible specialist systems for US wineries and the most common head-to-head in this market. Feature lists alone rarely decide it, so the practical approach is to walk both systems through a real harvest workflow, including work order execution in the cellar and the compliance reporting your state requires, before choosing.
