Bond store and cask management, stock control, CRM and AI reporting for craft distilleries. On a phone or a laptop. Built and hosted entirely in Australia.
The spreadsheet was never built for casks. It cannot tell you what is in a cask today, only what someone typed the day it was filled. Quercus keeps a real register with an honest estimate, and every sample, regauge, leak and bottling dated and kept.

Who said what, at which bottle shop, and when?
It is in a notebook, or in someone's head. Quercus puts every visit, call and follow-up on the customer, nags you when one goes quiet, and asks you to confirm their details before they go stale.
3 of 5
A cask bottled today is stock tomorrow.
And an order line the day after, with nothing typed twice. Orders go from draft to fulfilled to invoiced, GST done properly, and the tax invoice emailed from the page.

Who is probably out of stock right now?
Every buyer's rhythm is worked out from their own orders, so the report says who is past their usual reorder date, with the phone number in the row. Ask it in plain English and it opens the right report.

What needs attention today?
The home page says it before you ask: orders to fulfil or invoice, overdue follow-ups, customers gone quiet, casks due a regauge. On a phone in a car park, or at the desk.
Part one
The bond store
A real cask register with an honest estimate of what is in every container, and every event that changes it dated and kept.
01
Casks and vessels
Number, capacity, tare, supplier, source distillery, cask type, oak and vintage, on the same location tree as bottled stock. Every move logged. Thousands of casks page and search cleanly.
02
Fills and estimates
Each fill records what went in, from where, at what strength and volume, typed or worked out from the scales. Litres, ABV and litres of pure alcohol now, with the maths beside it.
03
Samples, regauges, losses
Tasting samples with a score come straight off the estimate. Regauge by weight, dip or hydrometer, and the estimate projects from what you found. A leak flags the cask until it is measured.
04
Transfers and bottling
Decant some or all of a cask into a vessel, bottle from it into a batch with sizes and prices, and the rest stays in with its own estimate. Nothing is overwritten.
05
QR labels
Every container has a label. Scan it with a signed-in phone and a one-screen form takes the weight, strength, score and a note. Labels print as sheets or as PDFs for a label printer.
06
Calculators
Dilution, hydrometer correction, litres from weight or from a dip, and blending by mass balance with a density table. Built in, not in a spreadsheet on someone's laptop.
Part two
The trade, and the assistant
Customers, orders, invoices and stock, sharing one record with the bond store. A cask bottled today is stock tomorrow and an order line the day after, with nothing typed twice.
07
Customers and CRM
Venues, retailers, distributors and private buyers, each with contacts, addresses, territory tags and a default discount. Visits, calls and meetings logged, follow-ups that nag you, and a prompt to confirm details when a customer goes quiet.
08
Orders and invoices
Draft to fulfilled to invoiced, numbered your way. Three discounts stack, GST is shown and never stored. Invoices print or email with your legal name, ABN, logo and payment details.
09
Stock control
Stock by batch and location. Every change is a movement with a reason, nothing edits a figure directly, and available means sellable less what open orders have claimed. Stocktakes write the corrections.
10
Numbered bottles
Switch any batch to serialised for a limited release. Every bottle gets a number, and each order records exactly which numbers went where.
11
AI reporting
Ask a question in plain English and it opens the right report with the filters set, then writes a short reading of the rows. It reads your figures, never changes them and never invents one.
12
It learns your customers
Every buyer's rhythm is worked out from their own orders, so the home page says who is probably out of stock before they notice, with the phone number beside the name.

What it looks like
The register. Casks holding spirit, estimated litres and LALs across the store, anything flagged for regauge.One cask. Estimated volume, strength and LALs with the basis and assumptions stated, regauges, losses and samples below, QR label beside.An order. Snapshot lines with batch, size, ABV and price, GST shown, fulfilment counted line by line, the tax invoice emailed from the page.Home. What needs attention today: orders to fulfil or invoice, overdue follow-ups, customers gone quiet, casks due a regauge.

How a distillery starts
You do not type your world in.
Send the spreadsheets, the price list, the cask register and the customer list in whatever shape they are in. They are loaded, checked and shown back to you before anything goes live. Your own address, your own people with their own roles, your own invoice numbering and logo from day one.
Australian-hosted
Each distillery's data is separated from every other's at the database level, backed up, and exportable at any time. Hosted in Sydney.
Unlimited users and casks
Nobody rations logins. Every person on the floor, in the office or on the road has their own, with the role that fits.
A founding rate
The first distilleries on board get a founding rate, locked in, and a walkthrough with the team. Pricing on request.
