Introducing Proof 8: New Name, Same Spirit. Today is a big milestone for us. After deliberating over whether this change was a “glow up,” an “evolution,” or simply a “step change,” we’ve landed on an upshift - Proofworks is now Proof 8. Not just in the name; we’re reinforcing our commitment to simplifying the complexities of distillery and warehouse management. Our team remains as dedicated as ever to making your supply chain as efficient and transparent as possible. As we move forward as Proof 8, our focus is clear: empower the spirits industry with digital solutions that blend the best of technology with the craft and tradition of our customers.

Love them or hate them, spreadsheets can be useful for recording many different types of data tracked by a distillery or warehouse. Financial planning, inventory management, recipe records, barrel locations, duty calculations, chances are you’ll find a spreadsheet at the heart of many of these important tasks in spirits operations. As producers and warehouses scale, the amount of data captured grows, so too the number of people using a shared spreadsheet and the demands put on it. The need for greater efficiency in production, coupled with the drive to introduce sustainability measures that stand up to close scrutiny, all further add to the vital importance of data that is held. As a result, many turn to technology to find a more streamlined and user-friendly solution to support the running of their day-to-day production, storage and operational tasks. The main drivers being the need for transparency and traceability across the entire supply chain, especially as a business grows and the number of assets produced increases. The need for a scalable solution becomes a priority, as does one that provides ultimate assurance that the data collected, and used to base important decisions on, is accurate and up-to-date. Data loss, or error, with something as simple as a mistakenly deleted row in Excel can mean game over. Or at best, a headache for a day or two whilst you wait to see if it can be recovered. A technology solution retains a full history and ensures all data is fully backed up and readily accessible. Here, we look at data challenges facing many distilleries and warehouses today and the tipping points that push organisations to seek solutions beyond spreadsheets.
