Why is Blended easier to use?

Software shouldn’t get in your way. When software doesn’t fit, you spend hours on workarounds, waste mental energy worrying about how you record activity in the system or give up entirely and go back to spreadsheets. At Blended, we’re on a mission to build software that’s smart. If Blended can learn how you operate, it can personalize your unique experience. This personalization empowers you and your team, making the software a seamless part of your workflow. While this is a journey, today, we leverage a feature called Adaptive Defaults to bring that personalization.

Adaptive Defaults

Adaptive Defaults are a memory of sorts. As you use Blended, it tracks how you operate. For example, Blended may notice that you like to sample Brix, pH, TA, and Seed Color in the vineyard. After it sees you take that grouping of measurements, it automatically creates a custom workflow for those measurements within the vineyard. The next time you sample grapes, you can easily select that grouping to record measurements across one or all of your blocks.

Another example might be when you are performing additions to your bulk wine. As you select the product, Blended will automatically suggest which batches the addition will come from based on your recent use.

Adaptive Defaults aren’t limited to Additions and Measurements. As you personalize your dashboards by editing columns or rearranging their order, Blended tracks your preferences and automatically configures itself the next time you look at that table or display. Bottling again? Blended remembers the formats you use rather than offering all possibilities. Finally, Blended remembers the data you like to track in the places you want to track it. We once had a client with a mix of rented and owned barrels. After telling Blended that a set of barrels was rented versus owned, Blended created a custom field and enabled that data to be captured by default on every subsequent barrel added to the system.

In isolation, these features are small. They’re not flashy or particularly visual. But you touch them every time you use Blended, and their impact is enormous over time. They are the little things that make life easier so that software can be a seamless addition to your process.
