What It Is

Flowmation Systems is vertical enterprise software for the beer, wine, and vineyard industries. It was created in response to the fact that traditional ERP systems often struggle to adequately handle the alignment of beer production, inventory, and sales timing. As a result, the product places greater emphasis on industry-specific scenarios such as production operations, quality, inventory, packaging, and traceability in the alcoholic beverage sector.

Core Capabilities

Based on the collected information, Flowmation includes a Vineyard Information System, Winery Information System, Brewery Information System, Quality Information System, and Finished Product & Packaging. The vineyard module can track data by project, farm, vineyard, block, and row, while analyzing block-level revenue, expenses, and profit/loss. The finished product and packaging module covers component calculations, bottling/canning scheduling, production line setup cost reduction, purchase orders, customer orders, multi-location inventory, sales forecasting, and real-time reporting. The system also emphasizes information sharing across departments such as production, materials, planning, engineering, finance, and sales/marketing, while providing support for product genealogy, quality data, and compliance reporting.

Pricing

Its pricing is not based on the number of users, but rather on a proportion of production output, with discounts available for multiple products and multiple sites. Licenses can be purchased outright, with support and maintenance included for the first year and optional maintenance fees thereafter. A monthly rental option is also available, which includes support and maintenance. Initial data loading and training are billed by the day. The official website does not provide specific pricing ranges.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are its strong industry focus and coverage of the full chain from vineyard cultivation to production, lab quality, finished product packaging, and warehousing. The unlimited-user model is also friendly to multi-department usage. Case studies mention adoption by breweries such as Sleeman and Moosehead, and the system emphasizes both forward and backward traceability. The main drawback is that the website does not disclose key information such as cloud or self-hosted deployment options, APIs, third-party integrations, permission models, or security certifications, offering limited transparency by modern SaaS standards.

Who It’s For

It is better suited for breweries, wineries, vineyards, and packaging/warehousing teams that already have some scale and need refined production planning, inventory control, quality traceability, and compliance reporting. If a company only needs a lightweight CRM or a general-purpose financial system, Flowmation may be too vertical.
