About

As our own winery grew, we needed a software to help us manage our business; however, when we searched the wine software market, we couldn’t find anything that met our needs. Rather than settle for a system that didn’t work, we decided to build our own. The result is a sales and customer service platform which enables both wholesale and direct-to-customer marketing and sales.

We’ve been using GrapeGears everyday since 2009 to run a successful business and, since we shared our software with the wine industry, we’re not the only ones - wineries across California and Texas have expanded their business by using GrapeGears. Now you can too.
