Chapel Down has transformed its operations with Bevica ERP, our drinks‑industry solution built on Microsoft technology. In our video case study, Chapel Down shares how moving to Bevica delivered stronger financial controls, faster data‑driven insights, and scalable processes across production, inventory and distribution.
Why Chapel Down chose Bevica for their new ERP solution
Chapel Down is the UK’s leading and largest winemaker. Based in Kent, their vineyards span over 1,000 acres and will allow them to produce close to 3 million bottles of sparkling and still wine by 2027. Their wines are internationally recognised and have received multiple industry awards for excellence.
In 2023, Chapel Down decided to move to a new ERP solution that could grow and scale with them. They were looking for a solution that would facilitate robust financial processes and controls, allow them to manage risk and core business processes more efficiently and provide rapid data-driven insights to improve decision-making.
Following a review of eight different system options, Bevica, delivered by TVT, emerged as the solution that best aligned with their ambitions for integration, scalability, and wine industry expertise.
The project was delivered in two phases: core ERP go-live in January 2024, followed by Shopify integration three months later.

Chapel Down’s top tips for drinks businesses considering Bevica as their new ERP solution
- Plan thoroughly from the start
Invest time upfront to define what you want to achieve. Collaborate closely with TVT’s consultants to map out a clear path – unlike generic ERP providers, TVT understands the unique needs of drinks businesses.
- Be open to change
Don’t approach the implementation with a rigid mindset. Bevica’s processes may differ from your current ones, but embracing these changes can lead to more efficient operations rather than trying to retrofit old methods.
- Allocate the right resources
Ensure you have experienced team members dedicated to the implementation. If resourcing is a challenge, TVT can provide expert consultants who are adept at solving complex problems.
- Prioritise core needs for go-live
Bevica is modular and scalable. Focus on your essential business functions for the initial launch and plan to introduce additional features in later phases. Even the core functionality will likely be a significant upgrade if you’re moving from an older ERP.
