From tracking their own maturing inventory to managing third-party owned casks, the platform provides comprehensive oversight and control over their multi-ownership warehouse facility. Kingsbarns Distillery/Wemyss Malts began production in 2014 as part of the Wemyss family's expansion into whisky production. As distillery manager Peter Holroyd oversees both the distillery operations and warehouse management, including both their own maturing inventory and casks owned by third parties, precise inventory management became crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Vapour's platform provided the digital infrastructure needed to manage their complex multi-ownership warehouse operations. The Maturation Module enables Peter and his team to track every aspect of their cask inventory lifecycle, including both distillery-owned and third-party owned casks. From initial filling through regauging, sampling, and movement operations, the system maintains detailed records of each cask's journey through the warehouse while clearly identifying ownership. This comprehensive tracking is essential for managing the complex requirements of multiple cask owners and maintaining accurate customer records. Vapour's warehouse management capabilities have streamlined daily operations, allowing warehouse staff to efficiently locate, move, and monitor casks using mobile scanning technology. The platform's automated reporting provides Peter with real-time insights into inventory levels, ownership tracking, and operational efficiency, enabling data-driven decisions about warehouse management and customer service. ## How they've used Vapour #### Modules Used ![Production Module](https://uptight-lapwing.files.svdcdn.com/production/icons/Production-WH.svg?dm=1741271086) Production ![Maturation Module](https://uptight-lapwing.files.svdcdn.com/production/icons/Maturation-WH.svg?dm=1741271095) Maturation ![Bottling Add-on](https://uptight-lapwing.files.svdcdn.com/production/icons/Bottling-WH.svg?dm=1741271087) Bottling Kingsbarns Distillery/Wemyss Malts has leveraged Vapour's Maturation Module to create a comprehensive warehouse management system that handles both their own inventory and third-party owned casks.
