How TeeChart is Integrated into Uncork’s Software
In The Uncorked Cellar® software, TeeChart is used to generate dynamic visual representations of a user’s wine collection. TeeChart powers detailed graphs and reports that show metrics like wine distribution by type, region, vintage, drinking windows and stock levels over time. These charts help users quickly analyse their cellar’s composition and trends, making wine management decisions easier and more informed. Thanks to TeeChart’s wide charting capabilities (bar charts, pie charts, time-series graphs, etc), Uncork delivers a visually intuitive and professional experience for both amateur and advanced collectors.
TeeChart and Uncork
Managing a wine cellar involves tracking vast and evolving datasets — vintage years, varietals, regions, purchase dates, consumption rates and valuations. Uncork needed a charting engine that was not only highly flexible and feature-rich but could also deliver fast, accurate and elegant graphical representations of cellar data.
TeeChart provides:
- Rich Data Visualizations: TeeChart’s extensive selection of chart types — from pie charts to histograms and advanced heatmaps — allows Uncork users to instantly grasp trends such as stock depletion, vintage popularity or investment appreciation.
- Seamless Integration: TeeChart’s modular architecture allowed Uncork’s development team to easily embed charting components directly into the Uncork desktop and web interfaces.
- Real-Time Updates: TeeChart enables dynamic visualization of changes in the wine collection, such as consumption trends or aging progress.
- Customization and Branding: TeeChart’s powerful styling options enable Uncork to present data in a way that aligns with user preferences and requirements, offering users beautiful, personalized dashboards.
Benefits for Uncork Users
Thanks to TeeChart’s integration, Uncork users enjoy a smarter, more engaging way to manage their collections:
- Instant Understanding: Whether it’s viewing a breakdown of varietals, identifying the best periods for tasting or analysing the cellar’s total market value over time, TeeChart makes complex datasets instantly understandable.
- Better Decision-Making: With clear consumption trends and aging profiles visualized through TeeChart graphs, collectors can make more informed decisions about when to drink, hold or sell wines.
- Enhanced User Experience: Beautiful, interactive charts bring life to data, elevating Uncork beyond a traditional inventory tool to an elegant, indispensable companion for wine connoisseurs.
