Vapour's heritage is in malt whisky, and we have built our workflows around the processes and methods used in whisky production and maturation.  We have also created the platform to be incredibly flexible so, depending on your processes, Vapour's Production Module can handle spirit production across:

• Malt Whisky
• Grain Whisky
• Bourbon
• Irish Whiskey
• Tequila
• Rum
• Gin
• Vodka

Yes, the platform itself does not require any hardware to be installed on your premises.

In order to use functions such as data entry and task management for floor workers, you can use a standard mobile device (iOS or Android). In ATEX zones, ATEX-compliant devices and intrinsically safe cases are available to allow you to safely use these devices in these environments.

We recommend Honeywell ATEX-rated Android handheld computers and can offer remote provisioning services to get you up and running in a matter of minutes.

Contact us, and we can provide you with some assistance with choosing your mobile hardware, or contact some of our partners.

For the most part, yes, you will be required to have a constant Internet connection on your mobile device when using most task and activity features of Vapour. We do offer "offline scanning mode" in our Maturation Module to allow you to scan casks into locations where you have no or limited connectivity.

Tablets and PCs performing process data entry in the Production Module, or records management in the Bottling Add-On also require you to be Internet-connected.

If you have issues with wireless coverage in your facilities, contact us, and we can put you in touch with specialist partners who can advise on Internet connectivity, even in remote locations with little or no traditional Internet coverage.

Yes, we have already created API-powered integration with leading OT hardware from providers such as Clyde Associated Engineers, specifically their CASKLOG™ solution.  

We can offer third-party integrations to allow you to pull data from your industrial equipment right into your Vapour environment and vice-versa, providing data from Vapour into other systems.  

The interfaces of devices differ widely from SCADA to web services and APIs.  Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Yes, Vapour has a set of specific reports to allow you to submit your production and bonded warehouse inventory reports to your customs and excise authorities.

The format of these reports aligns directly with the UK's HMRC W21 and W1 report formats. We can also generate reports in custom formats to suit your regional requirements.

Contact us if you have any specific questions related to your compliance reporting requirements.

Vapour connects to SCADA and control systems with both native in-built integrations and via our API integration Portal, allowing you to capturing key data such as filling levels, disgorging amounts, alcohol strength, etc.

Yes, Vapour tracks key efficiency metrics, such as yield per batch, comparing grain or malt, and predicted spirit yield versus actuals, helping distillery managers optimise production.

Yes, Vapour Production Module supports whisky, gin, rum, vodka, and other spirits production, tracking every step from raw material intake to distillation. In fact, Vapour is so flexible that it allows you to run multiple production processes simultaneously in the same facility.

Yes, Vapour allows for customised reporting, and additional analytics can be created through Vapour’s Insights & Analytics service.

Vapour’s API Integration Portal enables seamless connections with third-party enterprise software, allowing for data exchange and process automation.

Yes, Vapour records raw material usage and links it to specific production runs, ensuring full traceability from input to output.
