Proof 8 is a distillery and warehouse management platform built specifically for the spirits industry. It connects every stage of the supply chain, from production and maturation through to bottling, cask ownership, and customer engagement, giving producers full visibility and control over their operation in real time.
Proof 8 is built for distilleries, bonded warehouses, and craft spirits producers of all sizes. Whether you produce whisky, rum, gin, or other spirits, the platform is designed to fit around your workflows and scale with your business.
Proof 8 covers three core areas: production management (recipes, scheduling, batch tracking, yield reporting), maturation management (cask inventory, warehouse location, Digital Deeds, ownership records), and customer engagement (cask owner portals, QR code scanning, provenance data). Everything is connected in one system.
A Digital Deed is a unique digital record assigned to each cask the moment it is filled. It captures the full history of that cask, including what is in it, when it was filled, where it is stored, and who owns it. The record is stored on a private blockchain, making it tamper-proof and permanently verifiable.
Proof 8 maintains a complete, real-time audit trail for every cask and batch. Reports for HMRC can be generated at the click of a button, removing the need for manual preparation. The platform is designed to meet the requirements of WOWGR and other regulatory frameworks relevant to UK spirits producers and warehouses.
No. Proof 8 is designed to be intuitive for everyday use by distillery and warehouse teams. Operators access it via tablet or desktop, and it follows familiar workflows rather than requiring any technical background. Onboarding and training are included as part of the setup process.
Yes. The platform is designed to work in environments where connectivity may be limited, such as warehouse floors and still houses. Data entered offline is synced automatically when a connection is restored.
Setup timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your operation, but most customers are up and running within a few weeks. The Proof 8 team works with you through onboarding to configure the platform to your specific workflows, cask inventory, and reporting requirements.
Yes. Cask owners are given access to a secure portal where they can view their Digital Deed, see the location of their cask in the warehouse, check what is inside it, and in many cases view a photo of their cask. This level of transparency is increasingly expected by private cask investors and brokers.
Proof 8 is built to connect with the wider supply chain. It integrates with partner systems such as Cockayne Systems for precision cask filling, and is designed to exchange data with distilleries and warehouses that are also on the platform. The team can discuss specific integration requirements during the sales process.
