Datapac has today announced the implementation of a customised ERP solution for Walsh Whiskey Distillery.
The new system unifies Walsh Whiskey Distillery’s different departments, providing increased oversight and streamlining the company’s production and sales processes.
Located on the 18th century Royal Oak estate in a €25m distillery in Co. Carlow, Walsh Whiskey Distillery is one of the leading independent whiskey distilleries in Ireland and the only independent distillery in the world to produce all three types of Irish whiskey - pot still, malt and grain –in one still house.
The distillery has the capacity to produce eight million bottles of its Writers’ Tears and The Irishman whiskeys annually, for export to over 40 countries globally.
Having experienced significant growth in recent years and with further major growth planned, the company was looking for a scalable ERP solution that could unify these different departments and manage everything from ordering ingredients to bottling and stock taking.
Irish technology solutions and services provider, Datapac won the competitive tender process to install and manage a customised ERP solution, based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Datapac’s solution integrates completely with Walsh Whiskey operations and archiving all of the data from the various stages of the production process. Advanced security and access management functionality makes this data easily accessible to anyone who needs it, while ensuring that it can only be accessed by those with the correct credentials.
Head of business solutions division at Datapac, Richard Murphy said, "Walsh Whiskey Distillery has undergone significant expansion over the past year, and their old processes were no longer sustainable. They needed a modern ERP solution that would unify their systems and streamline their work practices."
He added, "Having assessed Walsh Whiskey Distillery’s needs we knew that Microsoft Dynamics NAV was the perfect fit. We’re delighted that they are already seeing the benefits of the new platform, and we look forward to continuing to work with them to help them drive their business forward."
