Case Study: Heaven Hill Distilleries achieves greater efficiency, agility and profitability with IFS

Heaven Hill Distilleries builds business success with an ERP backbone running IFS

Heaven Hill Distilleries, founded in 1934 and the largest independent, family‑owned spirits producer in the USA, sells brands like Evan Williams in 60+ countries and manages over one million barrels of aging bourbon. The company needed to manage rapid market and product changes, reduce inventory and customer lead times, and move the organization toward data‑driven decision making across sales, production and supply chain functions.

To address this, Heaven Hill deployed IFS as a single integrated ERP backbone, giving real‑time, company‑wide data for finance, MRP, demand planning, manufacturing and maintenance. The result has been measurable: dramatic reductions in finished‑goods inventory and lead times, cost savings through waste identification, improved machine and maintenance efficiency, and greater agility to make faster pricing and product decisions.
