Practical Software Solutions Launches Distillery-Specific ERP Powered by Sage X3

Built with Lofted Spirits, the custom distillery management solution unifies operations, simplifies compliance, and empowers growth for the distilling industry 

Concord, NC (October 28, 2025)  — Practical Software Solutions, a leading Sage ERP implementation partner, has announced the launch of a distillery-specific management solution, developed in partnership with Lofted Spirits and powered by Sage X3. This new system, designed with the nuances of the distilling industry in mind, replaces outdated, disconnected systems with a single, unified source of truth for inventory, compliance, reporting, and growth.

Lofted Spirits, parent company of Bardstown Bourbon Company and Green River Distilling, has been in a constant state of growth and expansion since its inception in 2016. The industry leader for custom contract distilling, Lofted Spirits’ rapid growth and the acquisition of Green River in 2022, left the organization with six separate systems across distilleries, warehouses, logistics and compliance. These siloed tools resulted in duplicate entries, reporting errors, and challenges in tracking barrel inventory and transactions. As production scaled, the need for a modern, integrated ERP became essential.

Many distilleries across the industry face similar challenges: manual workflows, disconnected systems, and the increasing complexity of compliance reporting. The new system means not just Lofted Spirits, but other distilleries can streamline operations, reduce manual work, and gain confidence in scaling production.

“This partnership, and the system that we refined together, allows us an unprecedented eye into every corner of our business,” said Aaron Butler, Senior Project Manager at Lofted Spirits. “Collaboration and transparency are at the core of what we do, so building something that will benefit not just us but our whole industry is a great benefit.”

The new proprietary management system is powered by Sage X3, a robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform designed for midsize to enterprise organizations. It provides advanced capabilities for finance, supply chain, inventory, and production management, and can be customized to meet the specific needs of specializedindustries like distilling.

The all-in-one distilling solution consolidates multiple workstreams and excel-based processes into a single source of truth for transactions, data, and barrel inventory. By automating key processes from grain receiving through distillation, it provides visibility across operations while reducing manual entry and errors. Built-in traceability, automated Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and Federal Excise Tax (FET) reporting, and digital gauge records ensure full regulatory compliance and audit readiness. Real-time analytics through Sage Enterprise Intelligence (SEI) transforms multi-day month-end reporting into instant dashboards and live performance insights.

“Our goal was to not only solve Lofted Spirits’ immediate challenges, but to build a flexible solution that addresses the needs of the entire distilling industry for the long term,” said Dylan Fulk, Director of Sales at Practical Software Solutions. “We’ve already witnessed the transformative power this data system has created for Lofted Spirits, and we are excited to use this technology to bring distillers to a place where they have power over their organizations data.”
