Ekos Expands into Distilling Industry with New Features Tailored to Craft Spirits Producers

Ekos, the industry leader in business management software for craft beverage producers, is proud to announce its expansion into the distilling industry. Building on its strong foundation in the craft beer, wine, and cider markets, Ekos now offers a comprehensive set of features specifically designed for distilleries. These new tools will help distillers streamline their operations, enhance profitability, and simplify regulatory compliance.

This expansion was driven by Ekos’ commitment to providing an all-in-one solution and meeting the growing demands of its customers—particularly breweries venturing into ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails and craft spirits. As Ekos adapted to these evolving needs, it became clear that the software could also serve full-scale distilleries. By incorporating a few additional features based on customer feedback, Ekos ensured that producers across the entire spirits market could manage their businesses seamlessly within one platform.

Key Innovations for Distilleries

One of the most significant new features is Ekos’ full TTB compliance functionality. Distilleries can now easily generate the necessary reports for the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), reducing the burden on producers and allowing them to focus more on their craft. “Ekos provides fast, accurate, and simple creation of the required monthly reports for Production Operations, Storage, and Processing,” said Kaitlyn Jones, Senior Product Manager at Ekos. “It’s a huge value add, freeing up distillers from complex paperwork so they can concentrate on creating great products.”

Other powerful new features include:

• Enhanced proof tracking and proof gallons functionality
• Simplified transfer and management of volumes from production to storage
• Support for purchasing spirits in bulk
• Robust cost-of-goods-sold tracking for greater profitability insights

In addition to these tools, Ekos allows distilleries to easily manage multiple locations—something that can be difficult with other software solutions. Whether producers are scaling operations across different facilities or expanding into new markets, Ekos ensures seamless management across all sites within one centralized platform.

Setting Ekos Apart in the Market

With these new capabilities, Ekos can now claim to offer the most comprehensive craft spirits management system on the market. While the new features bring Ekos to parity with competitors in terms of distilling-specific needs, the software’s additional benefits, such as the Ekos Order Hub, create an all-in-one solution that helps distillers manage every aspect of their business.

“Ekos is already known as the leading craft beverage software solution, and now we bring that same level of innovation and support to distilleries,” says Kent Rowe, CEO of Ekos. “Our customers not only gain access to excellent products, but also benefit from our best-in-class support and services team.”

A Positive Impact on the Distilling Industry

The expansion into the distilling market allows craft spirit producers to diversify their product offerings and pivot as needed to keep pace with changing market trends and consumer habits. With Ekos now supporting every type of craft alcohol, producers can confidently adapt, knowing they have the tools to succeed. Ekos now supports breweries, wineries, cideries, and more, so our customers can grow and diversify with the assurance that Ekos has them covered.
