Whether you’re making gin, vodka, rum or whisky, the same bottle might end up with a bottle shop on a trade price, a major retailer, an online customer or a cellar-door visitor. Qdos connects the operational and commercial records behind those sales, so your team has a consistent view of stock, customers, costs and fulfilment without relying on one person’s spreadsheet.
Recipes, materials, batches, costs
Bonded and duty-paid, side by side
Trade pricing and retailer EDI
Your premises, warehouse or 3PL
Cellar door and Shopify
Sales, stock and margins
One set of products, stock and customers — from the still to the sale.
Run production in Qdos — raw materials and packaging, recipes and bills of materials, finished-goods production, material usage, costing and batch traceability. Or keep the production and maturation process you already use and bring finished goods into Qdos.
Bonded and non-bonded stock are managed side by side, across one location or several, with stock movements and transfers recorded as they happen. Excise is determined when stock is released from bond — not when a batch is finished.
Receipts, production, bonded stock movements, stocktakes and dispatches sit in one system, so the records your excise returns and remission claims rely on are consistent and easy to find when your adviser or the ATO asks. Lodging returns and eligibility decisions stay with you and your adviser. Read: Excise records and audit readiness for Australian distillers
Set customer-specific pricing for bottle shops, bars and restaurants, with bottle, case and mixed-case pricing and orders entered by your team or reps. If you move into major-retailer supply, Qdos supports EDI trading with major Australian liquor groups including Coles Liquor Group, Endeavour Group and ALM, so their orders run through the same stock and invoicing as everything else.
Ship from the distillery, your own warehouse, a 3PL, or a mix, with one stock picture across all of them. Qdos warehouse management covers receiving, picking, packing and dispatch where you run your own.
Qdos point of sale runs the cellar door, and Qdos integrates with Shopify, so tasting-room sales and online orders come out of the same stock as your trade business and customers are recognised wherever they buy.
Access operational and commercial reporting from the same system used to manage your day-to-day business. Qdos provides bonded stock, production and dispatch records to support excise returns and remission claims, alongside product recall and traceability information, inventory reporting and commercial invoices for export. Qdos also integrates with Xero, so your accounts reflect the same sales and costs.
Choose the functionality you need today, with the flexibility to add more as you grow.

Qdos suits distilleries where things have started to connect: bonded stock and excise, trade customers, a cellar door, Shopify, a 3PL or major-retailer supply. That can happen with a team of five as easily as fifty. If you mainly need a simple till for a tasting room, a lighter POS may suit you better — and we’ll say so.
Qdos also runs wineries, importers and distributors across Australia. See Qdos for wine, liquor and spirits
Yes. Distilleries can manage raw materials and packaging, recipes, production, costing and batch traceability in Qdos, alongside bonded and non-bonded stock, excise on release from bond, wholesale, cellar door, Shopify and fulfilment.

Not necessarily. Qdos suits distilleries where complexity is growing — bonded stock and excise, trade customers, a cellar door, Shopify, a 3PL or major-retailer supply — and that can happen with a small team. If you only need a simple till, a lighter POS may suit you better.
