TTB-compliant production tracking with proof gallon calculations, processing records, and automated monthly report generation that satisfies federal excise tax filing requirements.. AI assistants and agents that help small businesses automate work across CRM, invoicing, scheduling, support, and more.
If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most spirits production businesses deal with these every day.
TTB reporting requirements where federal excise tax calculations depend on proof gallons, and production, storage, and processing records must be meticulously maintained for compliance audits.
Barrel inventory management where spirits age for years across warehouse locations, and tracking each barrel's fill date, proof, location, and projected readiness requires systems most small distilleries lack.
Three-tier distribution system navigation where distilleries must work through distributors in most states, and managing distributor relationships, pricing tiers, and depletion allowances is complex.
Tasting room and direct-sales compliance where on-site consumption, bottle sales, and cocktail service each have different licensing requirements that vary by state and municipality.
Small-batch production scheduling where grain milling, mashing, fermenting, distilling, and barrel filling must be sequenced precisely because equipment is shared across product lines.
Every pain point above has a matching solution built into Deelo — no extra plugins, no extra cost.
