Welcome to Bika Wine
Bika Wine demonstration installation. Open Source LIMS for Wineries and Wine labs
Request Access ᐧ Dashboard ᐧ BrochureBika Open Source LIMS, established in 2002, is a feature-rich, mature, web-based LIMS, 'better than any boxed product'. Through the benefits of Open Source, Bika presents a feasible alternative to expensive proprietary systems.
Bika's flexible configuration enables its winery capabilities, adding Vintage and Cultivar attributes, otherwise chemistry and microbiology to ISO 17025 standard. Most labs only interface their instruments and set the rest up for a good fit.
It is not expensive, there are no license fees, only services as implementation costs: Installation, Configuration, Training, Start-up Assistance, Go Live.
Complex setup data and Instrument interface customisation add to it, but a standard Implementation can be completed for less than $15k for medium-sized laboratories. Less, depending on urgency and staff making use of online content and assistance, albeit at a slower pace. Pages 6 - 8 in our brochure discuss how to navigate Open Source projects most affordably.
Please let us know if you have questions or are interested in access to our online demo or a live demonstration.
