Our answer

Built by winemakers, for winemakers.

Cepaos was built on the crush pad, not in a boardroom. Our team has lived the crush, the picking calls, the cellar workflows, the VQA submissions, the bilingual labelling drafts in both official languages. This isn't a generic ERP retrofitted for wine. It's purpose-built winery software that knows the Okanagan isn't Niagara, that Prince Edward County has its own quirks, and that LCBO Ontario sets different rules than BCLDB or SAQ Québec. During crush there's no time to sit at a desk, everything happens on your phone, right next to the tank, while the must ferments.

Cepaos gives winemakers their time back, so you can focus on the only thing that actually matters: making great wine.

Before

  • Spiral notebook covered in must stains
  • Spreadsheets with broken formulas nobody trusts
  • Three days rebuilding traceability before the LCBO order ships
  • Cost per case calculated by hand, never quite right

With Cepaos

  • Data captured on your phone, right next to the tank
  • VQA cellar records generated in 5 minutes
  • Lot traceability export-ready in 2 minutes
  • Cost per case in real time, on real data
