Automatic calculation of duty payments due on samples and movement of stock out of bonded areas
Flexible inventory reporting by warehouse location, zone, cask type, customer
Exportable to many formats, including PDF and Excel, you can even check historic inventory to interrogate stock movements!
Vapour's unique data model allows every cask movement to be recorded and displayed as part of the cask record, allowing greater insights on loss management, vacuity planning and operations
Vapour's in-built intelligence means key issues are flagged automatically, such as drops in LPA or bulk liquid. You can also define your own issue types
Your team are enabled to report issues by merely scanning a cask and flagging issues for investigation
Vapour's philosophy from day one has been to follow the cask. Every cask in Vapour is treated as an asset, and liquid is added and moved between casks as part of the operations undertaken on the platform
A rich picture of both the spirit and cask history is built up, allowing value to be added to downstream operations such as blending and bottling
Want to add a bit more detail to your cask record or add something not in the standard cask record? Our highly flexible cask tag is both highly functional and descriptive
Use it to describe the wood, details of the supplier, which forest it came from, or allocate it to a grouping for blending and filling later. The possibilities are endlessly flexible
Intelligently add tags to your spirit as you produce it for retrieval later in your spirit's life. Add details of the field your barley came from or comment on the weather.
The tags you add will live along the way as your spirit makes its journey to a warehouse or a bottle. You're a simple search or click away from finding this and any similar records with the same tag
WiFi or mobile data coverage can sometimes prove challenging in the depths of a traditional dunnage warehouse, or any other facility for that matter! To tackle this, we've created offline scanning functionality to be able to scan cask movements without the need for a constant Internet connection
Vapour runs on any modern Internet-connected device with a web browser
Out-of-the-box connectivity with leading finance platforms such as Xero, Intuit QuickBooks, Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, Sage, plus many, many more
