Software for wineries that don’t want another spreadsheet.

We build internal tools, compliance reporting and DTC systems for Cape wine producers. Fixed-price builds for the cellar, tasting room, and the people who buy your bottles — without an enterprise stack you have to apologise for.

Based in Paarl. We know the difference between a tank and a tote, what SAWIS wants, and why your tasting room POS doesn’t talk to your accounting.

01Where wineries bleed hours

Things that shouldn’t still live in Excel.

Specific, common, and almost always cheaper to fix than to keep working around.

SAWIS & EXCISE

Monthly numbers reconciled by hand from three different sources. We build the pipeline that produces the report ready to submit. DA 260 submissions and SAWIS reporting stop being a manual exercise.

CELLAR & BONDED STOCK

Tank levels, bottled stock, bonded warehouse, tasting room. Four sources of truth that never agree. We collapse them into one — press to barrel to bottle in one record.

WINE CLUB & ALLOCATION

Members, allocations, shipments and renewals running on a colour-coded spreadsheet. We replace it with software your sales lead can actually use.

TASTING ROOM & DTC

Bookings on one platform, POS on another, mailing list on a third, none of them connected. We build the bridge or the whole stack, your call.

WEBSITE YOU CAN EDIT

A site where the marketing person updates the new release page without phoning a developer. No WordPress hosting bills, no template fights.

EXPORT & TRACEABILITY

Lot tracking that survives a buyer audit. Documents and certificates pulled in seconds, not afternoons.

02What we build

Concrete things, fixed price.

We haven’t built a wine system yet — we have built the patterns each of these needs, for clients in manufacturing, financial services and retail. The work maps cleanly.

01 · Build Internal tool

Production yields tracker

From press weights to final bottles, one source of truth. Vintage-over-vintage views and printable cellar notes. Replaces three spreadsheets and a winemaker’s notebook.

Web app · Cellar staff R80k–R180k
02 · Build Web · Tablet

Tasting-room companion

Lightweight POS overlay that captures emails, runs allocations, and reconciles with your accounting at end of day. Plays nicely with the POS you already have.

Reconciles end-of-day R60k–R140k
03 · Build Automation

Excise & SAWIS automation

Pulls movements from your cellar and produces the submission file. The bookkeeper reviews, then files. Monthly, unattended.

Runs monthly · Unattended R40k–R90k
03Working in the Winelands

Walk through the cellar. Walk through your data.

We’re based in Paarl. A site visit costs you nothing and tells us more in two hours than any number of calls. Same fixed-price model, same scope-locked promise. Most wine projects land between R30k and R250k depending on whether it’s one focused tool or a connected stack.
