UNLOCK SMARTER BARREL STORAGE WITH DISTILL x 5 + BARREL SCOUT
At FIVE x 5, we believe the future of distillery operations isn’t built on siloed systems — it’s built on connected tools and trusted partnerships that solve real-world problems. That’s why we’re proud to team up with Barrel Scout, a barrel management solution designed specifically for barrel tracking and storage.
If you’re still relying on spreadsheets or manual tracking, you’re not alone — but there’s a better way.
THE PROBLEM: BARRELS GO MISSING. DATA GETS LOST. LABOR COSTS ADD UP.
Let’s face it – barrel management is a logistical headache. Between misplaced barrels, misshipped barrels, and rising labor costs, even small errors can snowball into expensive problems. And when one barrel is worth thousands on average, those costs can add up quickly.
BARREL SCOUT FIXES THAT.
Their RFID-powered system gives you real-time, barrel level visibility into your palletized warehouse or traditional rickhouse inventory — by stack, row, height, lot, owner, and more. Whether you’re managing just a few barrels or thousands across multiple locations, Barrel Scout helps you stack and rack faster, ship smarter, and scale with confidence.
HOW IT WORKS
→ Add a Barrel Scout RFID+Barcode combo tag to every barrel and row
→ Auto-record movements as you go using handheld and/or forklift scanners. Handheld scanners can also locate barrels instantly (even from 20+ feet away)
→ Cloud dashboard shows every barrel’s location and status in real time
Barrel Scout delivers clarity and control from day one. Start simple with handhelds and tags, then grow into forklift automation as you scale.
WHY THIS PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
This isn’t just about barrel tracking. It’s about building the future of distilling — one connected system at a time. FIVE x 5’s partners provide our customers with solutions that add real operational value and help you run a smarter, more scalable business.
