Headquartered and founded on the Scottish remote Isle of Islay in the Inner Hebrides in 1881, Bruichladdich is a globally renowned whisky distillery that mainly produces craft Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Bruichladdich is the only major distiller to distil, mature and bottle all its whisky on Islay. The company is committed to producing the finest, truly artisanal, most thought-provoking single malt whisky, of flawless provenance and utmost integrity. To meet the company's plans for growth and ensure operational visibility and traceability to track every liter of whisky throughout maturation from bottling to dispatching, while complying with regulatory requirements from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), Bruichladdich leveraged the Epicor Tropos Process Manufacturing Solution.
Since going live on Epicor Tropos, Bruichladdich has grown its business exponentially. Originally distributing to around 20 countries, the business now distributes to more than 60, and the company forecasts it will distribute 320,000 cases around the world this year―a colossal increase from the 5,000 cases distributed in 2001.
"We are incredibly excited to see Simon and Bruichladdich recognized as a SuperNova Award finalist," said Celia Fleischaker, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Epicor Software. "The Bruichladdich story is incredibly inspiring. While front-line artisanal craftsman focus on whisky making, the company's back-office operations are now scalable and efficient. Keeping its roots in crafting spirits with integrity, authenticity and character, Bruichladdich has not shied away from innovation. This is exemplified both by its pioneering new breed of thought-provoking young whiskys and adoption of new technology to forge growth and global expansion."
"Leading transformation projects is not easy. It requires foresight, leadership, and persistence," said R "Ray" Wang, chairman and founder of Constellation Research. "Finalists selected for the 2017 SuperNova Awards demonstrate not only prescience in recognizing a shift in the business environment, they possess the leadership skills and competence to introduce radical business models and emerging technologies that will enable their organizations to succeed in this tumultuous business environment. Keep an eye on these rising stars."
