Fleet control

Know your keg fleet, not just your keg count

Deposit lists show totals. Rotion shows where kegs sit, how they move, and where they disappear.

In one demo we map your keg loop and show you where kegs disappear.

Every keg carries its own history

Fill, delivery, return, and wash cycles logged per keg, including what was filled into it and when. Batch and freshness questions end with a lookup, and recalls trace to exact kegs.

Why drinks producers are rethinking keg management

Kegs leave with every delivery and come back on their own schedule. Deposit lists and spreadsheets lose track as volumes grow, and every lost keg is bought twice.

Deposit disputes end with a lookup, not a debate

No more annual keg census

Fleet sized on data, not gut feeling

What keg-level data reveals about draught operations

Venue dwell time drives fleet size

The biggest driver of keg fleet cost is not breakage but dwell: kegs standing full in cellars or empty behind bars. Per-venue dwell data shows which accounts turn kegs in days and which sit on them for weeks, so fleet sizing and delivery cadence follow facts.

Seasonality hides structural loss

Summer peaks and festival season mask kegs that quietly never return. When every keg has an identity, seasonal float and structural loss separate cleanly, and end-of-season recovery becomes a route plan instead of a guess.

Wholesale handovers are where history breaks

Most keg trails go cold at the wholesaler. Scanned handovers keep ownership continuous across tiers, so deposit balances survive the step that used to erase them.

How it works

Give assets an identity

QR, barcode, or RFID. Existing labels reused where possible.

Scan at handover

Drivers and partners scan in seconds, or in bulk with SSCC batching.

Do we need to replace our existing systems?

No. Rotion runs alongside your ERP or route planning and fills the gaps they do not cover: keg-level history, loss patterns, and per-customer balances.

Do venues and wholesalers need to install anything?

No. Partners can confirm handovers via web or mobile, and drivers can scan for them. Adoption does not depend on every venue cooperating.

Can we use our existing keg codes?

Yes. Rotion supports QR codes, barcodes, RFID, or combinations. Existing codes are reused where possible.

How fast can we start?

Codes on kegs, scanning at dispatch and return. Most teams start with one route or region and expand from there.

How does Rotion reduce keg loss?

Every keg has an owner and a location at all times. Venues that sit on kegs show up immediately, and recovery becomes routine instead of a write-off.
