Everything your beverage operation needs, without the chaos
Your team gets real-time, lot-level visibility into every batch from raw ingredients to finished product so nothing slips when a customer or auditor comes calling.
Lot & Batch Tracking
Track every ingredient lot from receiving through production to finished case. Pull a mock recall on any SKU in minutes, not hours.
Formula & Recipe Management
Scale formulas up or down, manage ingredient substitutions, and protect your recipes with version control and per-batch margin visibility.
Audit-ready compliance
FSMA 204 reporting, TTB documentation, and COAs on every lot, always organized, never scrambled when an auditor or buyer asks.
Know exactly what went into every bottle, can, and keg
When a distributor flags a quality issue, you need answers fast, not a three-hour trace through spreadsheets. Wherefour's lot-level tracking gives you a complete ingredient-to-finished-product trail on every production run, so you can pinpoint any issue, pull a recall report, and respond in minutes.
Your formulas, protected and production-ready
Scale a batch by 10x, swap a supplier ingredient, and instantly see how it affects cost, yield, and margin without touching a spreadsheet. Wherefour keeps every version of every formula on record so your production team always works from the right spec, and you always know if you're making money on that SKU.
Flawless Inventory.
From hops, concentrates, packaging, and everything in between
Know exactly what's on hand at any moment, with expiration alerts before ingredients go bad and automatic reorder points before you run short. Wherefour's blended cost tracking shows the precise cost per lot so you're never guessing at your margins on each SKU.
Beverage Traceability & Compliance.
FSMA 204 ready. Audit ready. Always.
TTB reporting, FDA compliance documentation, COAs on every lot, and FSMA 204 traceability built in, not bolted on. When a retailer requests documentation or an auditor walks in, everything is already there, organized, and exportable in minutes. No scrambling.
Built for beverage manufacturers that
need more than basic software
Most tools handle orders and inventory. Far fewer handle full lot traceability, formula management, and
FSMA 204 compliance in one place without a six-month implementation or an enterprise price tag.
