Help articles, tutorials and free screen share train-
ings are available for those who need assistance in
setting up and using ShiftNote. A major software
update slated for 2020 will offer new and enhanced
features.

Whiskey Systems Online

Whiskey Systems Online is a complete production
tracking and TTB reporting system tailored to the
unique needs of American craft distillers. Launched
in 2014, this software offers complete distillery
operations tracking, from raw materials to cases
shipped out. Features include invento-ry and barrel
management, cost of goods sold, manufacturing
cost accounting, forecasting and planning, batch
tracing, auto-generated TTB monthly reporting and
federal excise tax returns, QuickBooks integration,
employee task management, TTB audit prepara-
tion, success metrics dashboards and much more.

Whiskey Systems’ propriety hardware interface
allows distillers to track the temperature and
humidity of their warehouse during a barrel’s entire
aging lifecycle. By tying the aging history to their
Whiskey Systems barrel inventory, the software
can both optimize aging conditions and eliminate
manual data entry from a third-party monitoring
system.

In 2020, the company plans on launching a brand
new interface to improve the user experience
and navigation. The update will include more
production planning and forecasting tools and
more success metrics and dashboards. As Whiskey
Systems is a “subscription as a service,” there are
no required downloads, and eve-rything is available
via a browser. Users just activate their subscription
online for immediate ac-cess. Whiskey Systems has
extensive online resources such as training videos
and help pages, as well as one-on-one support and
set up for no additional charge.

Daruma Tech

Since 2015, Daruma Tech has been developing
mobile loyalty applications for beer guilds. For the
more significant guilds and associations, it has a
customizable solution that can be tailored to suit
their marketing needs. For smaller guilds, the “lite”
version can help them get started with their digital
loyalty program.
