About us

Our Story

Our journey began in Porto—the heart of Portugal’s wine country, where centuries of tradition and craftsmanship have shaped some of the world’s most celebrated wines. Inspired by this legacy of creation, we imagined a new way forward.

In 2017, we launched b_create – the first collaborative platform built for the wine and beverage industry. Designed to replace outdated processes, it delivers a smarter, faster, and more reliable way to bring products to market.

By working hand in hand with Portugal’s leading wine companies, we gained invaluable insights and crafted a solution that removes bottlenecks, reduces costs, and ensures accuracy at every stage.

Rooted in agility, b_create quickly became synonymous with authenticity and reliability. 

Today, that vision goes far beyond borders. From Porto to the world, b_create empowers global brands to simplify product development, accelerate launches, and unlock seamless collaboration across teams and regions.

Important Things You Should Know

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

How does b_create differenciate from an ERP?

b_create is a product lifecycle management software designed to guide your product from its initial requirements through revisions and into the market. It complements your existing tools by focusing on design and development, while systems like ERPs handle production resources, financials, and commercial transactions.

While b_create gathers and organizes product data during development, your ERP uses the finalized data for manufacturing and transactional purposes. Integration ensures smooth data exchange, enabling both systems to perform at their best.

General project management tools are designed to plan, track, and manage tasks, timelines, and resources across a wide range of industries and projects. While they are versatile, they lack the specialized capabilities needed for managing the complexities of product development.
Unlike general PM solutions, b_create is built around the product lifecycle. It tracks every detail, from initial requirements through revisions to final release. It handles critical product-specific elements like materials, labels, and packaging artwork, which are beyond the scope of generic project management tools.

b_create is tailored specifically for the wine and beverage industry. Unlike general PLM systems, it incorporates built-in best practices designed to address industry-specific challenges like harvest variations, regulatory compliance, and supply chain complexity.

Developed in collaboration with global partners and clients, b_create evolves with industry trends and needs, offering specialized features. With ready-to-use solutions and minimal setup, it delivers faster, more relevant results than traditional PLM tools.

The implementation timeline for b_create depends on the size of your organization, the complexity of your workflows, and the level of customization and integration  required.

However, most companies can expect:

  • Basic Onboarding – Small teams can start using b_create within 3-4 weeks with minimal setup.
  • Standard Implementation – Mid-sized companies with existing data and workflows typically take 8 to 12 weeks to fully integrate b_create into their processes.
  • Enterprise Implementation – Larger organizations with complex product portfolios and stage-gates, and multiple team integrations may require 16 to 20 weeks for a complete rollout.

To speed up adoption, we provide:
✅ Guided onboarding & training to ensure teams get up to speed quickly.
✅ Custom workflow setup to align the platform with your existing processes.
✅ Integration support to connect with your ERP or other business systems.

What level of customization is possible within b_create?

b_create offers a high level of customization to meet the specific needs of wine and beverage companies. Users can tailor workflows, data fields, and reporting to align with their unique processes. Additionally, integration points with existing systems such as ERP, cellar management, and supply chain tools can be configured to ensure seamless data flow. Our team also works closely with clients to implement features or adjustments that cater to specialized requirements, ensuring B_Create adapts to your business, not the other way around.

The platform allows users to update specifications in real-time, ensuring that all relevant stakeholders have immediate access to the latest information. Version control features keep a detailed history of changes, enabling teams to review past iterations and understand the evolution of the product. By centralizing product data and integrating with other systems, B_Create ensures that changes are reflected across all workflows, minimizing errors and keeping the development process on track.
