Love them or hate them, spreadsheets can be useful for recording many different types of data tracked by a distillery or warehouse. Financial planning, inventory management, recipe records, barrel locations, duty calculations, chances are you’ll find a spreadsheet at the heart of many of these important tasks in spirits operations. As producers and warehouses scale, the amount of data captured grows, so too the number of people using a shared spreadsheet and the demands put on it. The need for greater efficiency in production, coupled with the drive to introduce sustainability measures that stand up to close scrutiny, all further add to the vital importance of data that is held. As a result, many turn to technology to find a more streamlined and user-friendly solution to support the running of their day-to-day production, storage and operational tasks. The main drivers being the need for transparency and traceability across the entire supply chain, especially as a business grows and the number of assets produced increases. The need for a scalable solution becomes a priority, as does one that provides ultimate assurance that the data collected, and used to base important decisions on, is accurate and up-to-date. Data loss, or error, with something as simple as a mistakenly deleted row in Excel can mean game over. Or at best, a headache for a day or two whilst you wait to see if it can be recovered. A technology solution retains a full history and ensures all data is fully backed up and readily accessible. Here, we look at data challenges facing many distilleries and warehouses today and the tipping points that push organisations to seek solutions beyond spreadsheets.

We’ve long been a fan of The Spirits Business and all their efforts to champion innovation and progression in the spirits industry. Their articles regularly feature comments from our CEO Rob Hollands who’s often invited to give his take on the big issues affecting the sector. So, when the opportunity to get involved in their prestigious awards came about, we took it! Especially when it meant sponsoring an award category close to our hearts - Distiller of the Year. It was sealed furthermore when we found out that the brilliant Claudia Winkleman was to be the esteemed host.

Not just its significance for the spirits industry, but also to the fact we’re launching with a very special one-of-a-kind Linkwood Scotch whisky cask which pretty much anyone, anywhere, now has the opportunity to own a part of.
