End-to-End Production Management for Every Stage of Your Process
From the moment raw ingredients arrive at your door to the moment the finished product leaves your shelves, Liquor Logic tracks every step, every batch, every litre — with full traceability, compliance automation, and real-time visibility.
Every Production Stage — One Platform
Whether you're running a craft micro-brewery, a large-scale distillery, a boutique winery, or a cidery, Liquor Logic covers your full production lifecycle without compromise.
Build, Scale & Version Every Recipe
Your recipes are the foundation of your business. Liquor Logic's Smart Recipe Builder gives your team a single, structured place to develop, refine, and document every recipe — from a 20-litre pilot batch to a 20,000-litre commercial run.
Add raw material requirements with quantities, record your process steps with detailed notes, add quality benchmarks. When it's time to scale, the system calculates every raw material quantity automatically based on your target batch volume. No more spreadsheet gymnastics, no more miscalculated grain bills.
What You Can Do:
- Scalable recipes — calculate ingredients for any target volume instantly
- Landed costing — add raw material costs to understand batch cost per litre before you produce
- Process notes — attach step-by-step instructions, temperatures, timings, and equipment specs
- Multi-product support — manage recipes for beer, spirits, wine, cider, and non-alcoholic products in one system
Track Lab Tests & Product Approvals
Depending on your country's requirements, recipes and finished products may need external laboratory testing before they can legally be sold. Liquor Logic's lab testing module gives you a centralised register for every product sent for testing — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Log which recipes and batches have been sent, to which laboratory, on which date, and what the outcome was. Once an approval is received, mark the recipe as cleared for production and attach the certificate directly. Your compliance team and production team are always on the same page.
For internal quality control, record in-house readings at any production stage — gravity, pH, alcohol percentage, colour, turbidity, microbial counts — against target parameters. Automated alerts flag any deviation so you can intervene before a batch is compromised.
External Lab Tracking
Record every submission to external labs with date, sample reference, lab name, and outcome. Attach certificates and approvals.
In-House QC Readings
Log gravity, pH, ABV, colour, and microbial data at every stage. Set acceptable ranges and receive alerts for out-of-spec results.
Recipe Approval Status
At a glance, see which recipes are pending approval, approved for production, or flagged for re-testing.
Full Test History
Every test result is permanently stored against the relevant batch for full audit traceability.
Complete Batch Tracking From Start to Finish
Every batch you produce is a story — from which raw materials were used, to which tank it fermented in, to who signed off the final quality check. Liquor Logic records every chapter.
Raw Material Intake
Log every raw material receipt against a supplier purchase order. Record lot numbers, quantities, and quality checks on arrival. Materials are immediately available for production allocation and stock movement tracking.
Fermentation Tracking
Assign batches to specific fermentation vessels, record yeast pitch rates, initial gravity, fermentation temperature, and daily readings. Connect Tilt, RAPT, and Plaato devices to capture readings automatically without manual data entry.
Distillation Runs
Record every distillation run with cut points, foreshots, heads, hearts, and tails volumes. Log ABV at each cut, still temperatures, and operator sign-offs. Anton Paar integration pushes ABV readings directly into your run records.
Maturation & Barrel Management
Assign spirit or wine to specific barrels or tanks for maturation. Track barrel fill dates, expected age statements, topping schedules, and angel's share losses. Move product between barrels with full volume and ABV audit trail.
Blending & Filtration
Combine multiple batches or barrels into a blend and record the exact proportions used. Track filtration runs, filter media used, and any losses at this stage. Every source batch is traceable through to the final blend.
Bottling & Packaging
Record bottling runs with fill volumes, bottle format, label version, cap/closure type, and packaging quantities. Finished goods are immediately available in your inventory with full batch traceability back to every input.
Full Visibility Across All Active & Planned Production
Running multiple batches simultaneously across different production stages is complex. The Liquor Logic production schedule gives your team a single view of everything in motion — what's planned, what's active, what's waiting for a vessel, and what's completed.
Filter by product type, production stage, date range, or assigned staff member. See resource conflicts before they become problems — if two batches are competing for the same tank on the same day, the system flags it so you can reschedule without disruption.
The Production Summary gives regulators, managers, and auditors exactly what they need: volumes in, volumes out, losses at each stage, and a clear production audit trail for any period. If your country's excise authority asks questions, you'll have answers in seconds.
- View planned, active, and completed production in one schedule view
- Monitor the last 30 days and plan up to 60 days ahead
- Track volumes IN and OUT at every production stage
- Identify resource conflicts and reschedule before they cause downtime
- Raw material availability checks before committing to a production run
- Staff allocation and task assignment per production stage
- Yield efficiency reporting — target vs actual output per batch
Manage Bonded Warehouse Stock with Confidence
Many countries require producers to keep alcoholic product in a bonded (excise-suspended) warehouse until it is released for consumption — meaning you only pay excise duties at the point of release, not at the point of production. This can represent significant cash flow savings, but it also requires meticulous record-keeping.
Liquor Logic's bonded storage module gives you complete visibility and control over all product held under bond. Move stock in and out of bonded status with a full audit trail attached to every movement. Release stock in full or partial quantities, generate the correct excise liability at the point of release, and maintain permanent historical records of every bonded movement.
When your customs department or excise authority requests documentation, generate a complete bonded stock report in seconds — every movement, every release date, every quantity, all fully traceable.
Stock Under Bond
Hold any finished product or bulk spirit in bonded status. Full quantity and product visibility at all times.
Controlled Release
Release stock in full or partial quantities with automatic excise liability calculation at the time of release.
Permanent Audit Trail
All bonded movements are permanently recorded — nothing is deleted. Historical records are always available for inspection.
Compliance Reports
Generate detailed bonded storage reports for customs and excise authorities at any time with one click.
Manage Contract Brewing & Distilling Operations
Many established producers earn significant revenue by producing products on behalf of other brands — brands that have a recipe and a market but don't have a facility, equipment, or licensed premises. This is contract production, and it requires careful management to remain profitable and on-schedule.
Liquor Logic's contract production module lets you track every contract as a discrete project — including the client's recipe requirements, agreed volumes, packaging specifications, due dates, and pricing. As you produce against a contract, actual production is tracked against the contracted volume so you always know where you stand.
When a production run is completed, the invoice for that contract is automatically generated based on the agreed pricing structure and reflected immediately in your orders module — no manual invoicing, no missed billing.
- Track all active and completed contracts in one register
- Define production requirements, volumes, specs, and deadlines per contract
- Monitor actual production vs contracted quantity in real time
- Automatic invoice generation on completion of a production run
- Invoices flow directly into the orders module — no duplicate work
- Profitability tracking per contract — know which clients are worth the capacity
Automated Excise Reports — Country by Country
Excise reporting is one of the most time-consuming compliance obligations for alcoholic beverage producers. Monthly or annual returns must be accurate, complete, and submitted on time — with serious penalties for errors or late filing. Liquor Logic automates this process so your finance team isn't spending days reconciling production records manually.
If your country's specific excise report format is integrated into Liquor Logic, you can generate a fully pre-populated, ready-to-submit report directly from the system with a single click. All production data — volumes produced, alcohol strengths, quantities released, bonded movements — flows automatically into the correct fields.
For countries where a custom integration isn't yet available, the general excise report provides all the production detail your authority requires in a clear, structured format that you can use as the basis for your own filing.
