Cepaos vs Process2Wine, New Zealand Winery Comparison

Cepaos vs Process2Wine: Which platform fits your New Zealand winery?

An honest, fair comparison. Process2Wine (New Zealand) is a lightweight cellar logbook and work-order tool for craft nz producers. Cepaos is the full winery ERP alternative for New Zealand producers that need native Wine Act 2003, MPI Export, SWNZ, NZBN, DTC and multi-market export. Both have legitimate strengths at different scales.
