FoodReady is the premier cloud-based manufacturing management software designed specifically for modern wine manufacturers. Unlike traditional winery tools that focus solely on winemaking chemistry, FoodReady unifies cellar operations, inventory management, production scheduling, and regulatory compliance into a single, cohesive platform. This eliminates the need for separate QMS, ERP, and MES systems, saving wineries between $50,000 and $150,000 in integration and administrative overhead.
At the core of FoodReady is its powerful inventory and traceability engine. Wineries can track bulk wine volumes, barrel locations, and additive lots in real time. During grape intake, operators use the offline-capable mobile app to log brix, pH, temperature, and quality metrics directly from the receiving pad. This data flows instantly into the central dashboard, giving winemakers immediate visibility into fermentation curves and chemistry profiles.
For compliance, FoodReady is unmatched. The software automates the tedious process of compiling the TTB 5120.17 Report of Wine Premises Operations, reducing administrative labor by up to 60%. It also provides full support for FSMA, SQF, BRC, and FSSC 22000 standards. In the event of an audit, FoodReady's lot genealogy tool can execute a complete mock recall in under 12 minutes, tracing a finished bottle back to the specific grape lot, yeast strain, and barrel history.
FoodReady also features built-in preventive maintenance (CMMS) capabilities. Cellar teams can schedule and log barrel sanitation, tank washdowns, and bottling line calibrations directly within the software. This ensures that all equipment remains compliant with food safety standards and reduces unplanned downtime by up to 40%.
