The Intelligence Layer That Makes Every Tag Worth Having
RFID walk-through scanning, 3D warehouse visualisation, AI-native intelligence, 20-year maturation forecasting, and a complete owner portal — all synced in real-time, all built for million-cask scale.
RFID Walk-Through Warehouse Scanning
Walk a warehouse. Know every cask.
Walk through your warehouse with a handheld RFID scanner and every cask in range is instantly identified — no barcodes, no clipboards, no manual lookups. The scanner syncs in real-time with the admin dashboard via WebSocket, so office staff see casks appearing live as they're scanned on the warehouse floor.
Walk-Through Scanning
Every cask in range identified instantly as you walk — no individual scanning required
Real-Time Live Sync
WebSocket connection between handheld scanner and admin dashboard — see scans appear in real-time
Batch Operations
Perform condition checks, seal verification, and environmental readings on entire scanned sets at once
Scanner Workflow Modes
Specialised modes for different operations: Stillman's Log for fills, Vatman's Log for vatting — triggered directly from the admin dashboard
Missing Cask Detection
Expected cask not scanned? Flagged instantly as potentially missing, moved, or tag-broken
Cross-Device Presence
See who's scanning where in real-time — multiple operators, multiple warehouses, one live view
3D Warehouse Visualisation
10 highlight modes. One intuitive view.
An interactive 3D model of your entire warehouse estate, built with React Three Fiber. Switch between 10 highlight modes to see your inventory from every angle — from spirit type and age to alert status and pick lists. Scanned casks light up in real-time as operators walk the warehouse floor.
10 Highlight Modes
Status, Spirit Type, Age, Condition, Alerts, Scanned, ABV, Bulk Volume, LOA, and Picking — each with its own colour mapping
Live RFID Overlay
Casks light up as they're scanned — use the transparency slider to "see through" already-scanned casks and find missed ones in stacked dunnage
Alert & Condition Modes
Instantly see damaged, leaking, or overdue casks. Condition scoring overlays show warehouse health at a glance
Dunnage, Racked & Palletised
Supports all warehouse configurations with accurate visual representation
"Ask Your Cask" — AI Intelligence
Conversational AI built into every layer.
SmartCask is AI-native, not AI-bolted. Our full AI stack — built on the SmartLinks SL.ai SDK — gives you conversational intelligence across the platform: ask questions in natural language, get voice responses, and let the AI advisor surface insights you'd never find in a spreadsheet.
Ask Your Cask
Ask questions about any cask, fill, or warehouse in natural language — "What's the oldest bourbon cask in Warehouse 3?"
RAG Knowledge Base
AI trained on your operation's data and documents — understands your specific context, compliance requirements, and operational history
Voice & Text-to-Speech
Speak your questions, hear the answers. Hands-free AI interaction for warehouse operators on the floor
AI Advisor
Proactive insights surfaced on your dashboard — anomalies, trends, and recommendations powered by your data
Maturation Analytics & Forecasting
See 20 years into the future.
Model your entire inventory's maturation journey with 20-year runway forecasting. Understand angel's share losses with exponential decay modelling, plan release readiness across your portfolio, and value your cask estate with age-multiplied LOA calculations — all rendered instantly with cache-first analytics built for million-cask estates.
20-Year Runway Forecasting
Project volume, ABV, and value across your entire estate for the next two decades
Angel's Share Modelling
Exponential decay modelling for accurate loss projections — not linear assumptions
Cohort Analysis
Analyse by year, spirit type, wood type, or warehouse — identify patterns and optimise your maturation strategy
Release Readiness
Know exactly when each cohort hits target maturity — plan bottling and sales campaigns with confidence
Owner & Customer Portal
Proof-as-Ownership. The fill is the asset.
A fundamentally different approach to cask ownership: the fill is the owned asset, not the barrel. When spirit is re-racked, ownership follows the liquid — not the wood. Owners get a rich self-service portal with real-time valuations, portfolio export, provenance certificates, service requests, and granular notification preferences.
Proof-as-Ownership
Ownership is tied to the fill, not the cask. Re-racking, vatting, and blending operations automatically update ownership records
Valuations & Portfolio Export
Real-time portfolio valuation with age-weighted LOA calculations. Export for reporting, insurance, or resale
Provenance Certificates
NFC-verified, downloadable provenance certificates — a digital and physical proof of authenticity
Service Requests & Notifications
Owners submit requests, choose notification preferences, and receive automated updates on fills, movements, and status changes
Vatting, Blending & Anomaly Detection
Master Blender tools. Automated alerts.
Full vatting session management with Master Blender tools for recipe creation and execution. An automated cases and alerts system detects anomalies at scale — unexpected losses, overdue regauges, condition deterioration — so nothing slips through the cracks across your entire estate.
Vatting Sessions
Plan, execute, and record vatting operations with full traceability — every source cask, every proportion, every outcome
Master Blender
Recipe management tools designed for blenders — build, refine, and repeat blending recipes with precision
Cases & Alerts
Automated anomaly detection across your estate: unexpected losses, overdue operations, condition flags — surfaced before they become problems
Automated Notifications
SL.comms with Liquid templates — configurable, automated communications triggered by any event in the system
Embeddable & Extensible

Cache-First Analytics
Instant dashboard rendering built for 1M+ cask estates — no waiting, no timeouts, no pagination
Multi-Tenant & Multi-Collection
Manage multiple distillery clients, each with their own cask collections, owners, and configurations
From Tag to Intelligence
Screw an RFID tag onto every cask. Walk your warehouse and know exactly what's there. Track every fill, movement, and regauge in real-time. Then carry the provenance all the way to the bottle with NFC — grain to glass, fully traced.
The software makes the tag worth having. The tag makes the data real.
