How much does it cost to make and sell a bottle of wine? How much is earned or lost?

In this section we implement an online open-source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform.

Essentially, we want to build an online platform where anyone can view:

  • How much money are we earning from selling wine, winecoins, and other services? How much money do we spend to produce our wine?

  • What is our inventory?

  • What is the current valuation of the company? 

This section defines the functional and systemic requirements for an online, open-source ERP (enterprise resource planning) platform to cover the following modules:

  • Accounting

    Inventory

           How much money are we earning from selling wine, winecoins, and other services?

  • Where are we selling?

  • How is this managed in different currencies?

  • What are consumers paying for our wine in shops (not buying winecoins)?

    How much money do we spend on:

  • Grape Production: Farmers, chemicals, tractors, irrigation, taxes, fuel, harvesters; .

  • Wine Production: Wine making, bottles, corks, capsules, boxes, labels;

  • Logistics: Moving bottles from A-to-B, cold storage;

  • Administration: Accounting: day-to-day management, legal expenses;

  • Marketing and Communications: Maintaining our presence online, and telling the story;

  • Financial Costs.

    How much does it cost for us to produce a bottle of wine (for each vintage), considering:

  • Production cost

  • Cost changes over time (recurring costs of cold storage)

  • Effects of inflation and currency value fluctuations over time

    What is our inventory?

  • Wine in bottles, at different storage locations

    Wine (litres) in the winery

  • Fungible materials: boxes, labels, capsules, corks

  • Chemicals

  • Tools

    What is the current valuation of the company?

  • Stock valuation

Asset valuation

We can begin by defining the types of reports that we would like to share with the world, and work backwards from there:
