[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8014″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]It all started more than 90 years ago with the <\/span>De Bortoli family<\/span><\/a> and has grown to be one of Australia\u2019s largest family-owned wineries. The third generation is now managing the family business with a strong commitment to sustainability and leaving a positive legacy for the next generation. One of the ways they maintain this <\/span>mission<\/span><\/a> is through their continued efforts to manage a very complex supply chain from \u2018grape to glass\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, <\/span>De Bortoli Wines<\/span><\/a> gained control of its entire supply chain, but in order to harness true competitive value, they needed a solution that would improve their product quality, compliance and traceability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just-in-time Scheduling Optimizes the Winemaking Process<\/span><\/h2>\n

After making the decision to upgrade their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software<\/a> to <\/span>QAD ERP<\/span><\/a>, De Bortoli Wines has been able to optimize their growers resources and improve their product quality. The winemaker can now look to the future as they are well-equipped to deliver the highest quality of wine possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDe Bortoli is a vertically integrated business that is involved in every part of the wine industry and can be thought of as not just one company, but as a collection of quite distinct business. We have businesses that grow grapes, make wine, package wine, warehouse wine, transport wine, and sell wine, including direct to consumer via our own physical and online retail presence,\u201d said Bill Robertson, CIO, De Bortoli Wines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the interesting things with De Bortoli is, as a structural point of view, we have control over our whole supply chain. But to get competitive advantage out of that, we have to be able to flow information through and to get value out of that,\u201c added Robertson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
