Experience: James started his career in the brewing industry as a developer working with Hardys & Hansons in 2003. Spending so much time on-site meant that James quickly learnt the strange and wonderful language of the brewing world. 18 years on and James’ industry knowledge is second-to-none; he is now a senior consultant and there are few challenges he has not seen before meaning that his customers rest safe in the knowledge that whatever the problem James will have the answer!
Customers: Frederic Robinsons, Everards, Hall & Woodhouse, Westons, Thatchers, Brains, Wadworths, J.W. Lees, Fullers, Punch Taverns, Liberation Group

Drink-IT is a fantastic beverage management solution (which is why we decided to specialise in it of course!) but it was primarily designed with the Continental Europe market in mind – think the likes of Heineken and Carlsberg. So to make sure that our Irish and UK customers got a solution which fitted all of their needs, we decided to modify Drink-IT to work specifically in the British Isles!
We identified all of the things that made the Irish and UK beverages market unique – things like the need for duty reports, property & tenant management functionality, and the ability to produce and manage small batches of product and we tinkered and tweaked the Drink-IT solution until it met all these needs.
The end result is a powerful end-to-end beverage management solution which works perfectly for the Irish market – from out-the-box duty reports to tenant management – you name it, Drink-IT can do it!
