One Version of the Truth

Operational data every team can act on

Vapour Insights brings your reporting together in one place. It turns operational data into something you can act on: spotting trends, flagging risks, and tracking performance before problems compound.

Every team gets the data that matters to them, without IT building custom reports. Self-service access means distillers, warehouse operators, supply chain managers, and finance teams all work from the same source of truth.

What is Vapour Insights?
Why Insights Exists

Vapour Insights is your reporting and intelligence layer. It wraps dashboards from Power BI, Looker, QlikView, Tableau, and other tools into a single, controlled environment, with the access controls and permissions your teams need.

Insights doesn’t replace your existing BI tools. It brings them into one place, so every team is working from the same operational data, with self-service access and no manual exports.

Most distilleries already have operational data. The problem is that it lives across too many tools, in too many formats, for too many teams to access without waiting on someone else to pull a report. That creates delays, inconsistencies, and decisions made on yesterday’s picture.

Insights changes that. Every team gets live access to the data that matters to their work, without the overhead of custom builds or manual updates. That requires:

  • A single environment where all your reporting tools connect
  • Live dashboards that update as operations happen
  • Role-based access so each team sees exactly what’s relevant to them

That’s where Vapour Insights comes in.

Three Connected Capabilities

Insights

Dashboards

Unify your reporting tools into one controlled environment. Power BI, Looker, QlikView, Tableau, and more all feed into a single access point, with custom user groups, role-based permissions, and Single Sign-On for secure authentication. Every team gets the view they need, without IT managing access separately for each tool.

Live operational dashboards across production, maturation, and bottling, with no manual reporting to build or maintain.

How KPI tracking is configured across teams, and how each role gets the metrics that matter to their work.

How role-based permissions control what each team member can access, so no one is working from the wrong picture.

How Insights brings your existing BI tools, whether that’s Power BI, Looker, QlikView, or Tableau, into one controlled environment.

Trend detection and benchmarking in action, and how they flag performance shifts before they become problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Insights is built for operations, finance, and leadership teams who need reliable data without building or maintaining reports manually. Here are the questions we hear most.

No. Insights wraps your existing tools into a single, controlled environment. If you’re already using Power BI, Looker, QlikView, or Tableau, those stay in place. Insights brings them under one access point with consistent permissions and a unified experience for every team.

Access is controlled through custom user groups and role-based permissions. Each team member sees only what’s relevant to their role. IT retains full oversight through a single permissions model, rather than managing access separately for each tool.

Not for the live operational dashboards. These update automatically from your Vapour data, and self-service access means teams can find what they need without raising a request. If you want something built to a specific specification, our Custom Insights Services team handles that from discovery to delivery.

Insights reads directly from the operational data captured across your Vapour modules: production, maturation, and bottling. If the data changes in Vapour, it changes in Insights. No manual exports, no separate data pipeline to manage.

Yes. Vapour’s Custom Insights Services team works with you from discovery to delivery: data source mapping, third-party integration, KPI definition, and white-labelled dashboard builds with full SSO access control. Self-hosted options are also available on Google, AWS, and Azure tenants.

Insights is most useful when it has a full operational dataset to draw from. But you don’t need everything in place on day one. We’ll help you identify which data sources matter most for the questions your teams are already asking, and build from there.

Insights runs within the Vapour platform, so your data stays in the same secure environment as your operational modules. Access controls follow the same permissions model across the platform. Role-based access means each user sees only what they have permission to view. Data is held securely in our global data centres, with rigorous backups in place.

That depends on the problem you’re trying to solve. Operations teams want to see live dashboards and KPI tracking. Finance teams want to understand how reporting integrates with their ERP. IT teams want to see the permissions model and how existing tools connect. Bring whoever owns the data challenge you want to address, and we’ll build the demo around what matters to you.
