Our aim was to track chemicals and other inputs from purchase to application across multiple vineyards and orchards. The Growdata Orchard and Vineyard program has helped us to achieve this accurately.
Growdata has assisted tirelessly with important changes to our operations to ensure accurate cost recording. Their close interaction and determination to understand our farm practices is testament to this.

We at Kenton Hill Vineyards have been using Growdata now for 12 months after switching over from another system.

The Growdata program is an excellent, simple and easy to use program from the spray diary right through to doing the cost and profit at the end of the season.  The instruction sheets for spraying are simple and easy for employees to follow.

When the HACCP auditor comes the whole process is quick and simple as everything he needs to know about our operation is at his disposal.

Thanks to Brian and his team at Growdata for making life in the vineyard that little bit easier.

I have been using Growdata vineyard and orchard management systems for the past 2 seasons. With the cost tracking reports I find them to be an excellent management tool , the program is very quick and easy to use. The spray diary takes seconds to fill in and the instruction sheets are a handy reference. My customers are very happy with the spray reports that I produce with Growdata and my SQF 1000 audits are a lot easier using the Growdata reports.

It’s fast and easy, allowing instruction sheets to be formulated, the spray diary to be updated and a report to be generated simultaneously.
It takes the complications out of calibrating spray equip for various blocks and canopies which makes sprays more effective and economical. It gives the operator spray volume details down to the last drop for a block.
Instead of spreadsheets, I have all my vineyard details on hand and can put together a report following a few prompts.
Very responsive company to suggestions and actually had a few changes made after a phone call.
It allows us to see how we can improve efficiencies and quality assurance through record keeping and reports.

I had been searching for a number of years for a data recording system or program that would give me the reports I need and want to be able produce.

I had trialed a couple of mapping based programs and found a lot of effort had gone into the mapping side of things but the data recording and reports generated left a lot to be desired.

With the GrowData Vineyard Management System I was pleased to find the program was Microsoft Access based as it meant that my staff were already familiar with the data processing. The reports generated are useful and in a format that can be submitted straight to the winery in the case of the spray diary.

My management team find the program useful with the work instruction sheets for the spray operators for example. The program ties in seamlessly with the GrowData Orchard Management System which we also use.

My compliments go to the team who have always listened to and addressed our concerns and are constantly improving the program.  I have recommended GrowData as a useful tool to members of a Managers Group I belong to and have no hesitation in recommending the program anyone involved in managing a horticultural enterprise.
