Success Story: Catoctin Creek

The Organization

Catoctin Creek was founded in 2009 as the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition. Best known for producing Virginia’s most awarded whisky, the family-owned organic distillery also creates gin and brandy in the heart of Loudoun Valley, Virginia.

Background 

Catoctin Creek needed a tool to handle three-tier compliance as they grew into a nationally sold brand. Sovos ShipCompliant’s Market Ready and 3-Tier Reporting with AutoFile solutions help Catoctin Creek save time with reporting and ensure they are always up to date with the latest state regulations and requirements.

Top Challenges

  • Before partnering with Sovos ShipCompliant, Catoctin Creek spent eight hours a month working through a large compliance checklist.

  • Manually keeping track of each state’s changing requirements was difficult to keep up with. Catoctin Creek needed a solution that stored and tracked compliance data.

 Solution 

  • Catoctin Creek partnered with Sovos ShipCompliant for Market Ready and 3-Tier Reporting with AutoFile solutions to simplify their compliance.

  • State requirements are in a centralized location, making compliance easier.

  • Filling out returns and submitting reports no longer takes up a substantial part of the day.
