About Us

The DRAMS product, originally developed by Grampian Software and latterly Trapeze (part of the Volaris Group), has been around since the early 1970s. DRAMS has been specifically developed to cater for maturing stocks, and over the last 50 years the system has constantly evolved to meet the changing operational, legislative and commercial needs of the Whisky industry, whilst exploiting the expanded technical potential of the evolving IT market.  The effectiveness of the DRAMS solution, together with the quality of its dedicated and experienced support team, has made DRAMS the market leader in its field.

DRAMS is a great inventory management system. It allows me to quickly analyse the stocks we have and what we can use it for; and allows us to easily allocate to future blends.

Ron Welsh
You need to know exactly what you have and when it becomes of age to put into bottle. For this you require granularity of month by month data.

For any warehouse, any floor, rick and level, I can see what stock is there and how much space I have at the push of a button.
