We believe that being smart in choosing what data you collect and, perhaps more importantly, how you action it is the key to operational success. Using data wisely and not getting lost in it, was a hot topic at this year’s Pub Show, alongside other ways in which we can future-proof our pubs.

We work with multi-site organisations to help them push clear, actionable information down to their entire estate — at the right time, to the right sites, teams, and even individuals. Checking off this information as digested or completed, sends information back up the chain without the need for countless email threads or messy spreadsheets. Managers can see all of their sites’ progress from one, simple dashboard.

Our app is being used by pioneering Scottish craft brewer and punks, BrewDog; as well as cocktail masters The Alchemist, both of which have recently joined the Trail. The calibre of these high quality brands, along with the host of other pub and bar operators we work with, proves that sometimes keeping things simple can be what really makes a difference.

“Our experience with Trail has been great. Trail is a fast and convenient way of controlling our compliance and we’ll be rolling it out across our estate shortly.

We have exciting expansion plans for the future and see Trail helping us on that growth journey as it’s so intuitive to use.”

Mark Burville, Operations Director at The Alchemist

Challenging times are ahead for Britain’s pubs. Business rates, wages and food costs are all going up and an increasing number of health and safety regulations are coming in — it’s not pretty! In the face of this, it’s imperative that the pub industry looks internally and understands how it can do more with less. That’s our speciality.

“At BrewDog we are always on the hunt for innovative technology that is going to keep us ahead of the pack and make the lives of our busy team members easier, giving them more time to focus on serving kick-ass beer and delivering an awesome experience for our customers and 70,000 equity punks worldwide.

There’s no point introducing tech for the sake of it, we fundamentally know the rollout of Trail enables us to work smarter, enhance our daily operations and drive efficiency at all levels of our business.”

James Brown, Operations Director at BrewDog
