DRAMS Features

DRAMS offers solutions for streamlining the various processes associated with the management of bulk stocks.

Reporting

Supplied with an extensive range of dashboards and reports, DRAMS empowers users to gain visibility into operational performance; accurately manage the spirit inventory; and provide key stakeholders with the insights required to improve business performance.

The comprehensive inventory insights can also be used to produce key reports and audit trails which are required by various statutory regulations, ensuring regulatory compliance.

Inventory & Blend Recipe Management

DRAMS records key information about all inventory items, including spirit age, type, volume, location and value.

In addition to handling existing inventory information, DRAMS has been designed to enable blend teams to manage and amend blend recipe information from within the system.

Using this information, DRAMS can generate blend allocations and create picking lists for disgorging and vat blending operations.

Bulk Stocks & Warehousing

DRAMS holds a full transaction history for every barrel and every drop of spirit, providing complete traceability from initial receipt of the spirit (from the still or from a road tanker) all the way through to a bottling operation.

When the spirit is in storage, warehouse vacuity reports ensure warehousing capacity is used effectively while the accurate barrel location data ensures inventory can be immediately identified and retrieved.

Bottling

DRAMS Dry and Cased Goods modules provide control of overall dry ingredients and cased stock.

The system allows users to handle everything from the ordering of the materials through to their allocation in the bottling process.

While the Cased Goods module provides control over all cased stock, tracking all stock movements and providing the information required to produce a number of key HMRC reports.

DRAMS ERP Integration

DRAMS has a proven track record of working with ERP solutions, such as SAP, IFS Applications, and JD Edwards, to ensure a seamless integration.

Through a custom interface between DRAMS and an existing ERP system, users can ensure that a high-level view of spirit inventory is maintained within the ERP  while the additional details required to complete operational tasks are recorded in DRAMS.

This integration provides multiple layers of visibility, meaning that the wider business functions still retain access to crucial information but that the ongoing management of daily distillery operations is delivered within a system which is designed around the unique processes involved.

DRAMS is 100% focused on bulk stocks and distillery management. We understand that the movement and maturation of spirit is a unique process that demands a truly dedicated software solution. That’s why we first created DRAMS over 50 years ago – and we’ve been improving and expanding it ever since.

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.
