Rémy Piron Distillery: Simplifying cellar management
A context of innovation
For over 70 years, the Rémy Piron Distillery has embodied a balance between excellence and modernity. Located in Angeac-Champagne, it relies on recognized expertise and strong commitments to quality and sustainability. With its High Environmental Value certified vineyards, it stands as a key player in the Cognac industry.
Faced with sustained growth and increasingly strict regulatory requirements, Vanessa Tiffon, Sales and Administrative Manager, undertook to modernize the distillery's internal processes. Her goal: to gain efficiency, ensure impeccable traceability and reduce time-consuming tasks. To achieve this, she turned to Labox Applications to deploy an alcohol inventory automation solution.
Feedback from Vanessa Tiffon
Significant time savings and error-free management
Labox Inventory has brought undeniable time savings while reducing errors. By avoiding re-entries, sources of error are limited, which greatly simplifies the daily work of cellar staff. They no longer need to walk around with inventory notebooks, which also prevents reading errors. Digitank brings similar benefits in terms of time savings and efficiency. Additionally, each operator can access the tools directly from their phone, making their use even more convenient.
An intuitive and smooth user experience
Daily use of the software is simple and smooth, with quick response times. This helps make tasks more enjoyable. Moreover, it prevents reading errors. Labox Inventory is well-adapted to the team's way of working. Some small changes were made to working methods, which helped increase efficiency.
Concrete and measurable results
For inventory, the total time spent on preparation, editing, counting, data entry, and analysis has been reduced by about two weeks. These gains are felt in the workload, both for cellar staff and myself. After an initial adaptation phase, Labox Inventory was quickly mastered. As for Digitank, it stands out for its speed of use, saving a few minutes with each gauging operation, which is particularly appreciated during distillation periods when these operations are very frequent.
Human and responsive support
What I like most about the Labox team's support is their availability and attentiveness. At all levels, it's possible to discuss developments and talk about what can or cannot be done. Our issues and specifications are always taken into account. The team demonstrates unwavering responsiveness, always present in case of difficulty. Unlike other developers, Labox has perfectly understood our specific bulk alcohol management issues. Labox Inventory is well-adapted to our way of working, and even though we made some small adjustments, it has allowed us to increase our efficiency. What I particularly appreciate is that they speak in clear and accessible language. I don't need to express myself with unfamiliar IT jargon, and that makes all the difference.
