A busy medical professional with an approximate 950 bottle wine cellar wanted to be able to track her inventory digitally. “If I’m at dinner in California, I’d like to know if I already own a bottle of the amazing wine I just had with dinner or if I need to track it down and bring it home to NC!” She also wanted to know when it was time to drink a certain vintage, be able to conveniently compare wines and be able to add notes about what she had enjoyed.
Project Summary:
Neat Freak worked with the client to discern exactly what information she wanted to track and then tested several solutions before recommending the best option. Once the software was installed, we worked together to add every bottle of wine to the inventory, discovering neat tricks along the way.
Challenges:
· Large inventory
· Limited software product market
Solutions:
· Researched wine inventory best practices
· Tested multiple apps and database products
· Warm clothes (it was chilly!)
Products and Services Used:
Shareware database and iOS app
Why Neat Freak was right for the job:
Neat Freak has a project management background and is comfortable with multiple vendor testing. By surveying local wine stores we were able to test available solutions methodically and provide the client with a solution that was workable and maintainable going forward. And Neat Freak likes wine…so getting a bottle to take home was an added bonus!
