We’re proud to see Cockayne Systems, part of DPS Group, collaborating with Proof 8 to bring physical cask filling and digital inventory management together in one seamless workflow.
This partnership ensures cask filling data is captured at source and instantly integrated into secure digital records – improving traceability, reducing manual processes, and supporting simpler, more reliable compliance reporting.
For CSL and our clients, this collaboration delivers real value: greater confidence in data accuracy, improved visibility across the supply chain, and more connected distillery operations.
By combining Cockayne’s expertise in physical systems with Proof 8’s digital platform, we’re supporting distilleries in becoming more efficient, transparent, and future-ready.
Murray Blyth, DPS Group, client relationship director, said of the partnership, “By aligning our precision fill systems with Proof 8’s platform, we’re helping distilleries remove the duplication that’s often involved in recording key production data at the time of filling.
The benefits are clear for our customers. They’ll save time, reduce the risk of human error, and ultimately ensure that all fill data is accurately recorded. Crucially, they will have to fill data digitally available to them in real time, right where and when they need it on the Proof 8 platform.”
Stuart Maxwell, Chief Operations Officer at Proof 8, echoed the positive sentiment “This partnership represents a new operational framework for distilleries where the moment of cask filling becomes part of a real-time digital record. It not only simplifies compliance reporting further down the line but also improves traceability across the whole supply chain, now connecting every stage of production. Our two systems together provide one connected workflow, connecting the physical aspects of distilling with the digital, to form one tamper-proof, accurate source of truth about a cask.”
