How Vapour can help you
For Finance Managers in the spirits industry, managing the complexities of inventory, cost tracking, and billing can be a time-consuming and error-prone task. Vapour is a cloud-based SaaS solution that offers a comprehensive approach to spirit production, maturation, and bottling, optimising inventory tracking, cask management, and billing while ensuring accurate financial oversight at every stage.
With Vapour, Finance Managers gain access to high-quality, real-time inventory data, providing a complete picture of stock levels, cask movements, and spirit maturation. The platform tracks all inventory movements, from raw materials to finished product, allowing for more accurate cost allocation and stock valuation. This ensures precise financial reporting, enabling better decision-making and improved cost control.
Vapour simplifies the billing process for cask management customers by automating storage and service charges, reducing administrative burden and risk of human error. Finance Managers can easily create invoices for third-party customers storing casks in your warehousing, while the system keeps track of cask movements, storage duration, and additional services provided (such as sampling or regauging). This transparency not only streamlines cash flow management but also strengthens customer relationships.
Automated invoice generation is available for leading finance applications including Xero, Opera 3, Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, Zoho, and other platforms, ensuring seamless integration with your existing accounting systems. Additionally, Vapour supports API integrations for inventory tracking, and other operations, allowing the system to integrate with other business applications to keep all financial and operational data aligned.
