Overview

Managing production in a distillery, brewery, or winery involves more than just recipes. You need visibility into raw materials, containers, batch runs, yields, losses, and compliance requirements — all while ensuring production aligns with demand.

Beverage360’s manufacturing solution provides a centralized platform to manage the entire production lifecycle. From planning batches to recording yields, our tools ensure your operations run smoothly, cost-effectively, and in compliance with regulations.


Key Features

Batch Management

  • Create and manage production batches for any product type.

  • Record inputs (raw and packaging materials) and outputs (semi-finished or finished goods).

  • Track yields, losses, and adjustments for each batch.

Semi-Finished Goods Tracking

  • Manage bulk alcohol stored in barrels, totes, and tanks.

  • Record alcohol profile details (ABV, proof, type) and tie them to containers.

  • Monitor aging and condition of semi-finished goods for future blending or packaging.

Finished Goods Production

  • Convert semi-finished goods into bottled, canned, or kegged finished products.

  • Track packaged sizes, counts, and storage locations.

  • Ensure accurate COGS calculations with integrated material usage tracking.

Alcohol Profile Integration

  • Assign and track alcohol profiles to semi-finished and finished goods.

  • Maintain compliance with TTB and other reporting requirements.

  • Ensure accurate reporting of proof, volume, and type for all production runs.

Planning & Forecasting

  • Use demand insights to plan production schedules.

  • Align raw material availability with upcoming batch needs.

  • Prevent bottlenecks with forward-looking production planning.

Compliance-Friendly

  • Generate accurate batch and production records for regulatory agencies.

  • Maintain detailed transaction histories for audit purposes.

  • Support for Transfer in Bond (TiB) processes when moving goods in and out of production.


Benefits for Your Business

  • Full Production Visibility: Track every stage of manufacturing from grain to glass.

  • Cost Control: Monitor true material usage and calculate accurate costs of goods sold (COGS).

  • Improved Planning: Align production with inventory and sales demand.

  • Regulatory Confidence: Built-in tools for government reporting and compliance.

  • Scalable Workflows: From small batch runs to large-scale production, Beverage360 adapts to your operation.


Why It Matters

Without a dedicated manufacturing system, producers risk:

  • Losing track of bulk alcohol aging in barrels or totes.

  • Struggling to calculate costs and profitability.

  • Facing compliance risks due to incomplete production records.

  • Over- or under-producing relative to demand.

Beverage360 eliminates these challenges by providing a purpose-built manufacturing solution tailored for craft beverage operations.
