About

VineTrack

Read full description

VineTrack is the purpose-built vineyard management app that replaces spreadsheets, paper records, and scattered notebooks — for good. If you manage blocks, run spray programs, track yields, or coordinate a team across a property, you already know how fast critical information gets lost. VineTrack brings it all together in one place, built specifically for how vineyard operations actually work. Map every block with GPS boundaries, row configuration, vine spacing, and full irrigation detail. Whether you're managing one block or forty, every paddock record is accessible from the field — not just the office. Build spray programs with chemical rates calculated by canopy size and growth stage. Record every spray trip with a live GPS path, generate PDF reports, and keep your whole team aligned on what's been applied and when. VineTrack handles the calculations so your operators can focus on the work. Track every spray and maintenance run with automatic GPS path recording. Capture operator time, fuel, and equipment costs as you go — so at the end of the season, you have a clear picture of what operations actually cost, not just what you estimated. Yield estimation, growth stage monitoring, and damage recording give you the data you need at harvest without the last-minute scramble. Track E-L stages block by block, record bunch count samples, log frost, hail, and wind events, and export reports with a tap. Drop GPS repair pins when you spot a broken wire, missing vine, or pest issue. Capture a photo, assign it to a team member, and track it through to completion. Pair it with the machinery maintenance log to stay on top of service intervals, parts costs, and operating expenses across your entire fleet. VineTrack supports your whole team with role-based access — Owner, Manager, and Operator levels — all synced to the cloud in real time. Everyone works from the same data, whether they're in the shed, in the row, or reviewing the season from the office. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
