2. Place Tags can benefit your brewery

Here are some ways that Place Tags can benefit your brewery:

2.1 Support Customer Service with Real-time Tracking

Our IoT keg tracking solution is not just about knowing your kegs’ locations. It is also about how brewery owners can have valuable insights about customers for better customer service. With KegLink’s Place Tags, you can easily identify and group high-priority customers or specific shipping locations.

For example, if you have a customer who requires extra attention to ensure freshness, you can tag them as “High Maintenance” and create alerts for all incoming and outgoing shipments. This ensures that you never miss a beat when it comes to delivering quality beer at the right time.

2.2 Benefit Your Sales Team

If you have a growing sales team, you can use Place Tags to allocate each member’s specific locations. Salespeople can receive alerts specifically for their assigned locations, and open the map page to filter by their tag to view their customer’s status quickly. This allows your sales team to be more focused, to respond to customers’ demands more quickly and accurately.

2.3 Assist in Decision Making

Let’s say you are the owner of a craft brewery that uses real-time IoT keg tracking technology to monitor your supply chain. You distribute your beer to different bars and restaurants in the area. After that, you’re considering expanding your distribution to a new region.

By using Place Tags, you can identify the physical locations where your beer is sold and track their performance in real time. You can analyse data on each location’s sales, customer traffic, and inventory levels, as well as the temperature and pressure of the kegs.

Meanwhile, you might discover one of your beers is selling particularly well in a certain type of bar or restaurant. This information can help you identify trends and make decisions about which beers to promote in the new region.

You might also find out if the keg temperature is consistent across all locations. Accordingly, you know if you should optimise your supply chain and logistics to ensure that your beer arrives at its destination in the best possible condition.

Additionally, Place Tags is useful if you want to track the success of specific promotions or marketing campaigns at different locations. The data from your IoT keg tracking system can also be used to measure the impact on sales and customer engagement.

Conclusion

In sum, Place Tags is a powerful tool for brewery growth. They can support customer service, benefit your sales team, and assist decision-making.
