Everything You Need to Know About Cask Management Functions in NetSuite Bottle ERP

Cask management functionality is a vital part of any software for the drinks industry, so making sure your ERP can handle the complexities that cask management requires is important. Your ERP should have cask management functions for it to work for your business, so you need to know what is included in this functionality and how it can benefit you.

This guide will discuss everything you need to know about cask management functions, especially in the NetSuite Bottle ERP.

What Should Cask Management Include?

Cask Management is an important function in your ERP software. At a minimum, it should include:

• Inventory tracking- Inventory tracking is the ability to track each cask individually, including the type of cask, number of fills, and spirits aged in it.

• Ageing process management- This function allows to to manage the ageing process, including making sure you can manage the different spirits that need specific ageing conditions to achieve their distinct flavours.

• Wood management- Wood management allows you to monitor the usage and location of all your casks, both filled and empty.

• Regular alcohol monitoring- The regular alcohol monitoring allows you to keep track of the development of the alcohol stored in the casks, including colour, alcohol strength and flavour profile.

• Cask filling and disgorging- This allows you to manage the filling and disgorging of either single or palletised casks, and the transfer of spirits into their specialist casks

• Reporting and analytics- The reporting and analytics function gives you insights into the ageing process, inventory levels, and production timelines, as well as cask performance and other reporting information.

Ensuring you choose the right ERP software with full cask management functionality is important for the smooth running of your business, as it will help you get all the information you need to be able to function on a day-to-day basis.
