About
About Scout Today’s agricultural budgets are under stress and all segments want to be more efficient and gain more automation. They want data that improves forecasting, planning, operations, agronomic decisions, and health management. Scout is an AI-supported vineyard management platform that delivers vine-by-vine intelligence that helps vineyards operate more efficiently, grow more sustainably, and make confident decisions amid climate variability, labor challenges, and shifting market pressures. Scout provides that data and gives growers the confidence needed to reach their operational and financial goals. At Scout, our mission is to assist growers, wineries, and vineyard management companies in achieving their financial objectives, growing better quality fruit, and increasing their yields using data harvested during the growing season. We believe that blending traditional farming intuition with state-of-the-art data collection and AI-assisted insights enables sustainable, profitable, and high-quality farming for generations. We stay focused on helping customers make the best decisions across their planted sites while improving their bottom line. Scout began in the research labs at UC Davis. The founders combined academic research with hands-on vineyard operations and saw a clear and repeated challenge. Growers lacked reliable plant-level data to guide decisions that shape yield, quality, and cost. Scout formed to close this gap using AI, imaging, and field-proven methods to produce accurate data growers can trust. After four seasons in production, Scout is a proven solution used by some of the most prestigious and largest winegrowers in the United States. Our latest edition, Scout Gen 5, is the most advanced release of the platform, offering predictive analytics and mobile field notes. It captures ground-based, geo-referenced imagery across the vineyard and uses AI models to analyze each plant for performance and health. Scout Gen 5 automates inventory and vine mapping, measures plant and fruit performance, and maps virus risk while tracking health across vineyard blocks. Scout also sharpens block-level yield forecasts so growers know how much fruit they are producing throughout the season. These insights support accurate planning and more confident decision-making at every stage of the growing cycle. Scout Gen 5 also offers a powerful mobile feature set, including Scout VIA, our Viticulture Intelligent Assistant. Scout’s differentiators come from its scientific foundation, approach to hardware, and operational depth. Scout captures plant-level ground imagery without proprietary computers or custom cameras. The system uses an off-the-shelf smartphone paired with external cameras, lowering hardware investment and reducing friction during adoption. Models are trained on millions of labeled images collected in real vineyards and work across many trellis systems, canopy shapes, and phenological stages. Scout delivers consistent data year after year and builds a plant-level digital twin that supports trend analysis and long-term planning. Data capture, processing, interpretation, and delivery operate within one platform. Scout serves a wide range of customer profiles. Estate wineries use Scout to raise fruit quality, refine pick decisions, and guide replanting. Vineyard management companies use it to improve margins, deliver clear reports to clients, and expand into premium monitoring services. Large growers use Scout to standardize operations across ranches and align vineyard
