VinBalance Essential
The right version for small (and not-so-small) wineries.
Our goal with VinBalance Essential was to make a no-compromises package that will
get your winery up to speed as quickly and easily as possible. VinBalance is a
powerful package with a full range of useful configuration options. We used our
experience with a variety of wineries to configure a best-practices model
that will get your winery operational in a matter of hours.
Even though fully configured, VinBalance Essential is not locked down. You
can adjust the configuration to match the specific needs of your operations.
Here is what you get with VinBalance Essential:
The full feature set. Look at the features, sample screens
and sample reports to get a feel for the power of VinBalance. Contact us for samples of any of
the hundreds of reports or for an on-line demo with real data.
Simple hardware needs. The Microsoft SQL Express data engine
can run on any computer on your network and be shared by all users. The hardware
requirements are modest. In most cases the computer already at your desk will
work just fine. POS hardware is industry standard. We can recommend a typical
Dell POS configuration.
Pre-built user security. VinBalance Essential includes three
user logins (Owner-Admin, Office and Point of Sale). Menu security
is already configured and ready to go. Each user sees the menu options for their job title
and you can even customize user menus when you wish.
On-Line Help and Videos Push the F1 key anytime
in VinBalance for extensive, detailed on-screen help. On-line videos give you
everything you need to know in bite-sized pieces. Working with
