  • Overview


    £4.3 million turnover, 13 percent annual revenue growth and a planned increase in production of 700 percent - all with just twelve full-time employees. It sounds impossible but that’s the reality at Plymouth Gin, a company which has a history going back 200 years before the Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Plymouth harbour.

    The Challenge:

    With the anticipated increase in demand driving output from 60,000 nine litre cases a year to 500,000 by 2010, the distillery had to upgrade its accounting, production and stock control systems. Prior to V&S acquiring an interest in the company, Plymouth Gin was using Sage line 50 for accounts, while stocks were managed on an Excel spread sheet, with dispatches and invoices created in Word; goods received and stock replenishment were managed manually. After an eight month evaluation process, the distillery implemented a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) and accounting system from Access Supply Chain.
