Built by RFID veterans. Made for barrel warehouses.
Why we built Barrel Scout.
The spirits industry runs on tradition — and too often, on spreadsheets. Warehouses managing thousands of barrels still rely on manual counts, paper logs, and disconnected systems to track some of their most valuable assets.
The team behind Barrel Scout has spent decades designing and deploying RFID solutions across industries — from manufacturing to logistics to defense. When we saw how the spirits industry was managing barrel inventory, we knew we could build something better.
Barrel Scout was purpose-built for this industry. We didn't adapt a generic warehouse tool — we designed every feature around how distilleries, NDPs, and barrel warehouses actually operate. Our RFID tags were engineered specifically for barrel environments. Our software was built around the actual workflows of receiving, storing, shipping, and tracking barrels.
Today, Barrel Scout tracks over 150,000 barrels across operations nationwide, and we're just getting started.
