Sound Familiar?

If you're spending mornings firefighting expired inventory, tracking down premium bottles, or manually managing compliance reports instead of growing your distribution business—you're not alone.

📋

Spreadsheet Chaos

Managing hundreds of SKUs across whiskeys, wines, and craft beers with manual Excel tracking that's always one step behind.

Expiration Anxiety

Constantly worrying about lot tracking and expiration dates, especially for seasonal releases and limited batches.

🔍

Premium Product Hunts

Wasting time tracking down barrel picks, rare whiskeys, and specialty cigars when customers call asking for them.

"We've seen these challenges across family-owned distributors, specialty liquor operations, and craft beverage warehouses. The good news? There's a better way—and it doesn't require an enterprise budget or a six-month implementation."

— The Rocket Inventory Team

Predictable Operations, Exceptional Results

The most successful beverage distributors don't need cutting-edge AI or revolutionary technology. They need their warehouse to stop demanding so much attention—so they can focus on customers, relationships, and growth.

Lot & Expiration Tracking

Every bottle, every batch, every expiration date—tracked automatically. Color-coded alerts tell you what needs attention before it becomes a problem.

Multi-Location Visibility

See your entire operation at a glance—retail floor, warehouse, offsite storage. One system, complete clarity, no surprises.

Smart Reorder Alerts

Stop running out of bestsellers. Customizable thresholds trigger proactive alerts so you restock before customers notice.

Visual Audit

Photo documentation for every shipment. When disputes arise, you have the evidence. When audits come, you're ready.

ABC Cycle Counting

Focus counting efforts where they matter most. High-velocity items get more attention, premium bottles stay accounted for.

Forward Pick Optimization

Keep fast-moving products accessible. Separate high-turnover inventory from specialty selections for efficient picking.

Customer Story

Five Generations of Excellence, Powered by Modern Systems

How a 60-year family legacy embraced technology without losing what made them special.

The Challenge

For five generations, this family has been pioneering quality in Montana's beverage landscape—introducing the state's first barrel picks, curating rare whiskeys, and building a reputation for excellence that spans six decades.

But behind the scenes, managing an extensive inventory of spirits, wines, craft beers, and premium cigars had become a daily battle. Specialty selections required careful tracking. Seasonal demand created unpredictable surges. And the manual systems that worked for smaller operations couldn't keep pace with growth.

We needed a system that understood our business—tracking everything from vintage wines to limited-release whiskeys, without forcing us to become technology experts.

The Transformation

They didn't need a complicated enterprise system. They needed inventory management that worked quietly in the background—reliable, accurate, and simple enough for their small team to adopt without disruption.

Before Rocket
  • Manual tracking across hundreds of specialty SKUs
  • Constant uncertainty about premium product locations
  • Reactive ordering leading to stockouts and overstock
  • Seasonal surges overwhelming existing processes
  • Time spent on inventory instead of customer relationships
After Rocket
  • Every bottle tracked with lot numbers and locations
  • Instant lookup for any product in seconds
  • Proactive reorder alerts before running low
  • Seasonal patterns handled with confidence
  • More time for customers, less time in the warehouse

The Result

Today, their operation runs with the quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly where every product is, what needs attention, and when to reorder. The legacy their family built over 60 years is now supported by systems that let them focus on what they do best: curating exceptional products and serving their community.

We didn't need cutting-edge AI. We needed our warehouse to stop demanding so much attention. Now it runs smoothly in the background while we focus on our customers.
