Case Study: Bishop’s Orchards Winery improves record keeping and tax reporting with Ekos

Bishop’s Orchards Winery - Customer Case Study

Bishop’s Orchards Winery, a fifth-generation family farm and winery in Guilford, Connecticut, needed a more reliable way to manage records as the business grew and more people became involved in operations. Previously, they relied on memory, paper, and spreadsheets, which made it harder to avoid discrepancies, keep communication aligned, and handle batch, inventory, invoice, and tax recordkeeping. They chose Ekos business management software to support their winery and cidery operations.

With Ekos, Bishop’s Orchards Winery streamlined batch management, sales invoices, inventory management, and tax reporting, gaining better visibility from raw ingredients through production. According to the winery, Ekos improved recordkeeping, reduced onerous manual tax work, and provided valuable management information; the business also continues to serve 500,000+ visitors annually and has earned 440+ medals for its wine and cider.
