Pirate Life Brewing

The resource that Skytrust has provided has taken away the need for us to have an extra person here and it's meant that we can divert that human capital in places that are pushing our business in a more creative and productive way.

Issues Faced

Prior to Skytrust, we were using a form-based system and it was quite cumbersome requiring filing and an administration process. The biggest problem we have with our safety system before Skytrust was that it was difficult to have our staff quickly access the system so they had to sit at a computer, fill in a word document template of an Incident report, print it, sign it and it would land on my desk and it was up to me to close out the process. It was a slow and laggy process.

Brewing is an inherently dangerous process, historically there have been a lot of terrible accidents and incidents in breweries around the world. On the brewery side of things, you got heat and super-heated steam, lots of high-pressure equipment, lots of moving parts, lots of conveying belts and more.

How Skytrust Helped

With the Skytrust App, the crew can just do their Incident Report instantly, I see it straight away and we can start making the changes that we need to or follow up however we see fit. As we are based across two sites, having Skytrust available to our entire production crew and hospitality crew enabled us to make sure that hazards were closed immediately and incidents were addressed immediately.

The resource that Skytrust has provided us with has taken away the need for us to have an extra person here and it’s meant that we can divert that human capital in places that are pushing our business in a more creative and productive way.

The number one thing that Pirate Life prides itself on is creativity and innovation, especially in our products. The definite positive of Skytrust is that you don’t need to spend all the time working on the back-end of the data systems so you can spend more time thinking about how you can make improvements.

From our brewer’s perspective, I love that they can get an incident report in quickly and that frees them up to think about making good quality beer.

 

When we introduced Skytrust, it really put the safety in our brewers and production's team hand and enabled them in real-time to report those safety incidents and hazards as they happened.
