About:
Catalyst’s Bottle ERP provides an end-to-end solution designed exclusively for the spirits industry, unifying every facet of distillery operations from raw material procurement to bottling and distribution. This specialist platform replaces disjointed manual processes with real-time tracking for spirit production, cask maturation, and ABV fluctuations, ensuring total production transparency. By integrating visual production planning with embedded quality control, the system maintains product consistency while optimising manufacturing workflows. Crucially, it automates complex regulatory compliance, including HMRC reporting and Litres of Pure Alcohol calculations. This consolidation enables distilleries to eliminate operational inefficiencies, track costs, and make informed, data-driven decisions that support sustainable growth.

About:
Generations of drinks industry solutions Rankin Brothers & Sons is a leading manufacturer and supplier of bottle closures to the drinks industry. Our story started in 1891, when William Rankin Jr. ventured to Portugal to locate the best cork growing area in the world. There, he planted the seed that would grow into the family business we have here today.
Six generations later we’ve changed a bit, but our core mission remains the same: to provide world-leading drinks industry solutions, made to the highest and most ethical standards.
William’s passion, determination and knowledge is instilled in each of us and has kept the business truly dynamic, responding to shifts in trends and lifestyles and maintaining our position as trusted partner for the renowned brands we work with. Rankin Brothers & Sons prides itself on the long-term relationships it builds with clients, helping to grow their own businesses by providing them with the necessary materials to make their products stand out as they should.
