Do not lose money and time over empty kegs, pallets, and other logistic goods!
As a brewer, you know the importance of storing your product in the right way. Using the right keg to support your flavors and to ensure the quality of your product and it will not get lost when transported. Whether it is transported in kegs, bottles, crates, or pallets – you will want to know where these valuable empty goods are and trace them from production to end-client.
A big expense
In the old times, the brewer could easily keep track of his wooden barrels. Since they just went to local bars and pubs but in the 21st century where the world is getting smaller and smaller – your kegs might go around the globe, to many wholesalers and bars. It is easy to lose your valuable kegs! Did you know a malfunctioning tracing system of your kegs can lose you a lot of money? The Brewers Association concluded that in 2019 (the most recent report available), US breweries lost between $12 million and $35 million from lost kegs! Make sure you are not one of them.
