Transforming Vineyard Field Operations.
Pandolfi Price: A family's passion for sustainable winemaking.
Pandolfi Price is an organic winery located in Santa Inés in southern Chile, dedicated to using sustainable viticulture practices to produce its world-class, artisanal wines. Established in 2002, this family-owned vineyard hand-harvests grapes with minimal intervention, and integrates a mix of stewardship practices including, water conservation technology and solar energy to decrease its carbon footprint.
THE CHALLENGE
• Extreme weather.
• Poor Connectivity.
• Lost Field Data.
• Slow Data & Report Generation.
• Equipment Delays.
• Operational Inefficiencies.
Improving Efficiency
Life in the field is never easy. This is especially true for natural resource companies with field teams operating in extreme conditions. Distance, climate, and connectivity take a toll on operational efficiency— especially data collection and report generation.
Pandolfi Price used paper records to track its fieldwork operations. The lack of a digital platform to capture information in real-time and run reports limited the company’s ability to measure inventory, control fuel costs, and improve overall productivity.
Lost paperwork due to weather conditions also made it difficult to track machinery maintenance, prevent failures, monitor fieldwork, and streamline employee payroll payments.
THE SOLUTION
The forms in Eskuad’s mobile app give Pandolfi Price the capability to immediately—and reliably—capture and expand the range of data it needs, eliminating lost paperwork and creating historical records that facilitate better decision-making and improved real-time management of the vineyards.
Accessing Eskuad data reports and feeding them directly into a data visualization system allows them to optimize their field operations and reduce costs.

“Eskuad is a very user-friendly system. Having this system for collecting data and reports in an organized and easy-to-understand way is helpful in stressful times. It provides me with good information about the work carried out in the field. Whenever I use it, I can log in without any problems.”
