True Cost with InnoVint
InnoVint is a powerful system — but your final cost is only as accurate as what you put into it.
InnoVint does an excellent job tracking the movement of wine and calculating cost.
But many small wineries assume that once the system is set up, the costing takes care of itself.
And that’s where things start to go wrong.
If the inputs aren’t correct, the final cost won’t be correct either.
Why InnoVint costing often doesn’t match reality
InnoVint’s costing workflow is designed around larger wineries that:
close their books monthly
bottle consistently throughout the year
and maintain tight, ongoing processes
Most small wineries don’t operate that way.
Instead:
bottling happens a few times a year
books aren’t fully closed each month
costs are entered at different times
and financial data is still evolving throughout the year
So even though InnoVint is doing the math correctly: the inputs going into the system are often incomplete or misaligned.
This is a classic “junk in, junk out” problem.
This program helps you build the right workflow behind InnoVint — so the numbers it produces are actually correct.
Here’s what you’ll actually do in this program
This program shows you how to use InnoVint as part of a complete costing process — not just rely on it to generate a number.
You’ll learn how to:
calculate the correct rates to enter into InnoVint
understand how those rates connect to your financials
enter costs consistently throughout the year
apply those costs to bulk wine correctly
and reconcile InnoVint with QuickBooks at year-end
This is not about replacing InnoVint.
It’s about making sure the system is supported by a workflow that fits how small wineries actually operate.
With Cohort support, you’ll be able to:
troubleshoot your setup
correct input issues
and verify that your final numbers are accurate
The goal is to end up with COGS you can prove is correct — not just assume is correct.
Is this program right for you?
This program is designed for wineries using InnoVint who want to make sure their costing is accurate.
This is a strong fit if:
you use InnoVint with the costing module
you want to calculate True Cost using your actual data
you’re not fully confident in your current numbers
you want a workflow that fits a small winery
you want to validate that your COGS is correct
If you’ve ever wondered whether your InnoVint numbers are actually right — this is for you.
What changes when the workflow is correct
When the costing workflow behind InnoVint isn’t aligned, the numbers may look right — but they’re not reliable.
That creates risk in pricing, profitability, and decision-making.
-
Before
“I’m relying on the system, but I’m not fully confident in the result.”
“I’m not sure if everything was entered correctly.”
“I don’t know how to verify the number.”
-
After
“I understand how the inputs drive the output.”
“I know the right costs are being entered.”
“I can reconcile InnoVint to my financials.”
“I have confidence that my COGS is correct.”
You don’t just have a number — you have proof that it’s right.
