Our cloud service enables viticulturists and vineyard operations teams to harness the power of AI enabled insights to automate inventory, sharpen yield estimates, monitor weak  vines, and improve overall vineyard quality and health.

These actionable insights extend the vineyard’s lifespan and enhances its sustainability, both from a health and financial perspective.

Why is Scout Needed?

Today, there are over 500,000 acres of vineyards in the United States, managed by more than 500 vineyard management organizations and 1,500+ independent estate growers.

Over the last five years, climate instability, labor shortages and a changing market have made grape farming increasingly unpredictable, costly, and have had negative impacts on both quality and yield.

This situation is further complicated by a soft wine market. As farming budgets tighten, organizations are being forced to become more efficient in their planning, operations, and strategic decision-making.

Many key decisions in viticulture still rely on traditional methods, which can be imprecise and time-consuming, leading to blind spots, wasted hours, and inaccurate budgeting and yield estimates.

At Scout, we believe this is the perfect time to modernize and optimize vineyard operations, empowering great farmers to meet their financial and quality goals more efficiently.
