NetSuite for Brewers, Distillers & Beverage Producers

Recipes, fermentation batches, kegs and deposits, excise, and three-tier distribution on one ERP.

A Batch Takes Weeks. The Books Close Monthly.

Beverage producers run recipes through tanks for days or weeks, package one batch into kegs, cans, and bottles, ship through distributors under three-tier rules, and report excise to the TTB. Kegs go out on deposit and come back. Barrels age for years. A generic ERP sees a finished item; the business sees a batch that is still in the tank at month end. NetSuite with Consule’s ProShop tracks the recipe, the batch in process, the yield at packaging, the kegs in the field, and the excise owed.

What a Brewery, Distillery, or Beverage Plant Runs On

How Consule Extends NetSuite for Beverage

Recipes scaled to the tank. ProShop’s BatchWizard holds grain bills and formulas, scales them to the batch, and records actual additions, so each brew or distillation is documented as it ran.

Batches that live in WIP. Fermentation, conditioning, and aging tracked as work in process by tank or barrel, with the value on the balance sheet until packaging.

Packaging yield per run. YieldCraft reconciles batch volume to kegs, cans, and bottles produced, so packaging loss is costed and visible.

Kegs as assets on deposit. Keg movements tracked by customer, deposits and returns reconciled, and float reports that show where the fleet is.

Tanks and lines scheduled. FactorySync plans brews and packaging runs against tank availability and line capacity.

What Changes When It Is Done Right

Month-end with WIP that is real

Batches in tank valued correctly, so the close does not wait for the packaging run.

Cost per keg, can, and bottle

Recipe cost, batch yield, and packaging loss give a true cost per package.

Kegs that come back

A deposit and return process that finds the fleet and stops giving it away.

Excise reported from the system

Volumes and lots that feed TTB and state reports without a spreadsheet.

Built for producers who ferment, age, and package

Consule’s ProShop is a native NetSuite product developed for formula and batch manufacturers. If you brew, distill, or produce beverages and your batches, kegs, and excise live in separate tools, we will walk through one product and one packaging run with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can NetSuite track a batch that is still fermenting at month end?

Yes. With ProShop, batches in fermentation, conditioning, or aging are work in process with a value, by tank or barrel, until packaging completes them.

How are kegs and deposits handled?

Kegs are tracked as returnable assets by customer and distributor. Deposits are invoiced with the shipment and credited on return, and float reports show the fleet by location.

Does NetSuite support TTB and excise reporting?

Volumes, lots, and removals are recorded in the system, which supports TTB operations reports and state excise filings. Consule configures the reports to your license type.

Can we run distributors, a taproom, and direct sales on one system?

Yes. Distributor orders, taproom POS through a connected system, and direct sales where permitted all allocate from one inventory and post to one set of books.

Consule delivers this as a NetSuite implementation, a NetSuite optimization of a system you already run, or an integration project, with ongoing support under the CARE program.
