About The Customer

Husk Distillers is a family-owned distillery based in Tumbulgum, Northern NSW, Australia. They are the makers of Australia’s only Agricole rum, produced entirely on their family farm. With a mission to create innovative spirits that challenge traditional distilling conventions, Husk Distillers aims to introduce a new rum culture in Australia. In addition to their unique rum, they are also the creators of the internationally renowned Ink Gin. Their commitment to innovation and quality has led to rapid growth and the need for robust systems to manage their operations.

The Challenge

Husk Distillers, a family-owned distillery in Northern NSW, Australia, was facing significant challenges in managing their stock. As the creators of Australia’s only Agricole rum and the internationally renowned Ink Gin, the company was experiencing rapid growth. However, their existing systems, which relied heavily on spreadsheets and their accounting system, were proving inadequate for their needs. The lack of usability and accuracy in their stock management was a major issue, potentially hindering their growth and brand development. They needed a solution that could not only address these issues but also support their business at every stage of growth.
