Challenges Craft Brewers & Distillers Know Too Well

Managing recipes, production schedules, and regulatory compliance with generic tools creates problems that impact quality, consistency, and growth.

Recipe Consistency Struggles

Recreating successful batches requires precise recipes. Spreadsheet-based recipe management leads to variation, and that one great batch becomes impossible to replicate.

TTB Compliance Burden

Federal reporting requirements for alcohol production are complex. Tracking production, transfers, and losses manually creates compliance headaches and audit anxiety.

Ingredient Traceability Gaps

When malt, hops, or grain has an issue, tracing which batches and packages are affected takes too long. Consistency requires knowing exactly what went into each batch.

Raw Materials Management

Managing grain, hops, yeast, barrels, bottles, and packaging across multiple suppliers and lot numbers without proper systems leads to shortages and waste.

Fermentation & Aging Tracking

Knowing what is in each tank, when fermentation started, and when batches will be ready requires constant manual tracking that is easy to get wrong.

No Production Visibility

Without connected systems, you cannot see true inventory levels, tank status, or production capacity. Planning is guesswork based on outdated information.
