The AI Operating Layer for Beverage Manufacturing

One Platform for Your Facility.
One Portal for Your Brands.

Potion5 connects your production, inventory, orders, costs, and compliance in a single system — and gives your brand partners a real-time portal to see it all.

AI that generates compliant SOPs

Built for breweries, distilleries, wineries, juice producers, co-packers, and brand owners.

See Everything. Control Everything.

Eliminate up to 75% of your compliance and administrative paperwork. From the moment ingredients arrive to the moment product ships — every step runs through Potion5.

Generate Compliant SOPs

Upload a formulation and get a complete, HACCP-compliant SOP in minutes — with critical control points identified by the Codex Alimentarius decision tree, FDA and TTB regulations applied automatically, and procedures written for your exact equipment. What used to cost $15,000 and take six weeks now takes one click.

Your Facility Runs on Too Many Systems

Spreadsheets for inventory. A consultant for SOPs. Manual entries for TTB. Email chains with brand partners. Potion5 replaces all of it.

Brand Coordination Is Chaos

Your brand customers call daily asking "where's my order?" You have no system to point them to — just spreadsheets you email back. They can't see run status, shipment tracking, or quality results.

SOPs Cost a Fortune

Consultants charge $5K–$50K per SOP and take weeks to deliver. You pay again every time an ingredient or equipment changes.

Compliance Paperwork Never Ends

TTB daily records, FSMA 204 traceability, CIP documentation — your best people spend more time on paperwork than on production.

Audits Shouldn’t Be Scary

Documentation gaps are the #1 HACCP audit finding. Keeping every product line current is a full-time job nobody has bandwidth for.

Replace Four Disconnected Systems

Most co-packers run production on a stack of tools that don't talk to each other. Potion5 replaces them — and adds a brand portal no one else has.

Up and Running in an Afternoon

1

Configure Your Facility

Add your equipment — vessels, pasteurizers, fillers, pumps, lab instruments. Set up your storage zones, team members, and supplier list. Potion5 learns your floor so everything it generates is specific to your operation.

2

Upload Your Formulations

Drop in ingredient lists as Excel, CSV, or PDF. Potion5 parses them automatically — flagging allergens, identifying interactions, surfacing regulatory requirements, and mapping your process flow. Upload one formulation or a hundred.

3

Let the Platform Work

Generate SOPs. Schedule batch runs. Receive inventory with barcode scans. Ship product. Potion5 auto-generates your TTB daily records, maintains lot-level traceability, and keeps compliance documentation current — every day, without manual effort.

Built on Rules, Not Just AI

Other tools generate text and hope it's right. Potion5 uses a rule-based compliance engine backed by a beverage industry knowledge base. The rules write the compliance. The AI writes the prose.

Auditable by Design

Critical control point identification follows the Codex Alimentarius decision tree — the global standard used by every food safety auditor. Regulatory routing is also rule-based: your ingredients and beverage category determine which FDA and TTB requirements apply, automatically and repeatably. When an auditor asks "how did you identify this CCP?" you have a deterministic answer — not "the AI decided."

Compliance Infrastructure, Not a Compliance Project

Every action that touches a regulated record — signing a TTB daily record, releasing a QC batch, transferring a lot between DSP accounts — captures an electronic signature meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and TTB Part 19 requirements. Every entity has a full audit trail with before/after history. Record retention runs on configurable policies. Audits are no longer a project you scramble to prepare for — they're a query you run.

Built for Your Floor

Generic templates waste your time because they don't know your equipment. Potion5 generates procedures that reference the actual tanks, fillers, and pasteurizers on your floor — by tag, by capacity, by capability. Swap a piece of equipment and regenerate. The SOP updates to match. TTB records pull from your actual production data. Traceability follows your actual lots. Nothing is generic.
