How Vapour can help you

The Vapour Bottling Add-On is an essential tool for spirits businesses looking to streamline their bottling processes and ensure the highest level of operational efficiency and compliance. Integrated with Vapour’s core production and maturation modules, this add-on provides complete traceability and control from the moment the spirit enters the bottling line to when it reaches the consumer.

The bottling module enables seamless tracking of finished goods, linking them directly to their corresponding casks or spirit inventory. This ensures that every bottle produced is accurately accounted for, with detailed data on batch numbers, quantities, and production dates. The First In, First Out (FIFO) stock assignment functionality ensures that older stock is used first, maintaining product freshness and minimising waste.

Vapour’s automatic Bills of Materials (BOMs) functionality simplifies the bottling process by automatically generating the required materials for each bottling work order. This feature helps Bottling Managers avoid errors, streamline workflows, and improve overall efficiency.

Additionally, the bottling add-on maintains real-time updates on dry goods inventory and provides compliance reporting for bonded warehouses. With easy-to-use interfaces and real-time data, Vapour’s Bottling Add-On empowers spirits businesses to deliver consistent, high-quality products while simplifying inventory management and reporting.
