All 10 Documented Cases
एल्यूमिनियम कैन आपूर्ति अवरोध से बिक्री हानि
₹1,200-1,300 crore annual revenue loss (state government); 12-13 crore cans annual deficit (20% of industry demand)Beer breweries in India face critical capacity loss due to aluminum can shortage. With only three domestic can plants operating at full capacity and international imports blocked by BIS certification delays, breweries experience lost sales opportunities. UBL reported cans represent 22% of their business but supply cannot meet demand.
Keg Chori aur Inventory Shrinkage (केग चोरी और इन्वेंटरी श्रिंकेज)
Estimated ₹5-15 lakhs annually per mid-size brewery (50-100 keg fleet) based on typical keg replacement cost (₹8,000-12,000 per keg) and 5-10% annual loss rates in manual-tracking environments.Breweries without IoT/RFID keg tracking experience unquantified but material keg loss due to theft, misplacement, and inventory discrepancies. Manual verification processes ('shake or weigh a keg') introduce human error and create unmonitored handoff points.
Unclaimed/Unrecovered Keg Deposits aur Billing Errors (अदावा जमानत और बिलिंग त्रुटि)
Estimated ₹50-120 lakhs annually per large brewery network (500+ active customer accounts) based on: 10-15% deposit non-recovery rate × average deposit ₹7,500/keg × average 15-20 kegs per account × 500 accounts = ₹56-112 lakhs unrecovered.Without integrated keg tracking and POS systems, deposit reconciliation is manual. Breweries lose visibility on: (a) which account owes which deposit, (b) returned vs. unreturned kegs, (c) deposit claims vs. keg inventory. Results in revenue leakage and bad debt write-offs.
Beverage Wastage aur Poor Pour Tracking (पेय बर्बादी और खराब पोरिंग ट्रैकिंग)
Estimated ₹30-80 lakhs annually for mid-large brewery (₹10 crore+ annual revenue): 2-5% waste rate × ₹50-60 per liter COGS × 50,000-100,000 liters/year distributed = ₹25-75 lakhs in untracked cost of goods sold.Manual keg tracking provides no data on: (a) actual pour volumes per venue, (b) line cleanliness and temperature integrity, (c) cost per pour vs. billing accuracy. Breweries cannot audit customer beverage costs or detect dispense tampering.
