WMS tracks wine operations from vineyard to production and bottling, inventory management, and federal regulatory compliance for wineries and custom crush facilities.
By providing Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP 'on demand' through a monthly subscription model, WMS makes it possible for small to mid-sized wineries and custom crush facilities to access the same global business management and financial reporting capabilities used by today's large wineries. Applications for the Web-based program include financial planning, accounts payable and receivable, general ledger fixed assets, cost accounting, invoices, order entry, bills of lading, inventory management and allocation, and customer service portal capabilities.
'For a modest monthly fee, Wine Management Systems is providing global business and financial management capabilities that have historically been out of reach from a pricing perspective for the small to mid-sized winery,' said Patrick Oates, WMS chief executive officer, in a statement.
WMS partnered with ERP and supply chain consulting services firm enVista to evaluate and implement Microsoft Dynamics AX as a hosted solution for WMS clients. enVista was chosen to be one of Microsoft's few SaaS partners based on its supply chain consulting and experience with Microsoft Dynamics AX.
