Who it is for

  • Distilleries making whisky, gin, rum or vodka

    Tracks batches from raw materials through distilling, cask filling, maturation and bottling in one system.

  • Independent bottlers and cask owners

    Records cask ownership and sale status, allocates casks to planned bottlings and keeps liquid provenance through vatting.

  • UK distillers with HMRC reporting duties

    Includes HMRC W1, W5 and duty-related reports and an optional EMCS movements integration.

What it does

  • Production and distillation tracking

    Records malt, yeast, sugars, botanicals and grains per batch, with expected versus actual yield and configurable production metrics.

  • Day-one costing

    Calculates cost per LPA and per bulk litre including raw materials, bulk liquid, staff and energy costs.

  • Cask asset management

    Keeps each cask's filling history and tracks liquid from fill to bottling or sale.

  • Re-gauging and re-racking

    Records angel's share and operational losses, and re-racking with traceability.

  • HMRC reporting

    Provides an HMRC W1 event log and pivot report, a customisable stock holding report, and W5 data captured during bottling.

  • Vatting and blending

    Creates vattings from casks, containers or other vattings, supports dilution and keeps liquid provenance.

  • Bottling with costed finished goods

    Connects to Odoo's Manufacturing app so bottlings combine wet and dry goods into fully costed products, and calculates UK duty.

  • Cask sales and allocation

    Allocates casks to planned bottlings and manages owner and sale status for commercial and private cask sales.

  • Grain-to-glass traceability

    Follows each step from raw materials to shipment so a bottle can be traced back to the barley and cask history.

  • Sales, CRM and multiple price lists

    Manages sales orders, contacts and price lists for retail, trade and wholesale through Odoo's apps.

  • Purchasing, inventory and manufacturing

    Handles supplier RfQs and orders, goods in and out, stock takes, multiple warehouses and reorder rules through Odoo's apps.

  • Accounting and reporting exports

    Odoo accounting, with data exportable to BI tools such as Google Looker Studio and PowerBI.
