The problem

Ullage tracking is broken
for most businesses

The drinks industry loses millions every year to untracked, mismanaged, and disputed ullage returns. Most businesses are still running on paper forms, email chains, and spreadsheets.

Paper forms get lost

Returns forms disappear between drivers, offices, and warehouses. By the time they surface, the information is incomplete or unreadable.

No visibility of status

Customers don't know if their return has been received. Your team spends hours chasing updates via phone and email instead of resolving issues.

Disputed claims cost you

Without photos, batch numbers, or a timestamped audit trail, disputed ullage claims are nearly impossible to resolve — and you absorb the loss.

Features

Everything you need to
manage returns properly

From the moment a customer logs a return to the second it's scanned into your warehouse — Ullage has it covered.

Shareable Return Links

Send customers a unique, pre-filled link via email or WhatsApp. No login required. Their details are auto-populated so they just fill in the product information and hit submit.

QR Code Scanning

Warehouse and driver staff scan QR labels on a phone or tablet — no specialist hardware needed. The system automatically detects whether you're at collection or receipt stage.

Photo & Video Evidence

Customers attach photos and videos of damaged or faulty products at submission. Build an irrefutable evidence trail that removes ambiguity from every disputed claim.

Real-Time Status Tracking

Every return moves through clear stages — Pending, Collected, Received — with timestamps and item-level detail. Your team knows exactly where every ullage stands at all times.

Account Manager Tracking

Assign returns to specific account managers. Office staff can pick the responsible rep when raising a return, so every ullage is accountable — no more falling through the cracks.

Batch & Gyle Numbers

Capture batch or gyle numbers per product line on every return. Critical for identifying production faults, tracing quality issues, and supporting brewery QC investigations.

Custom Form Builder

Build the exact return form your business needs — text fields, dropdowns, dates, and auto-filled system data like customer ID and account manager email. No coding required.

Email Notifications

Send branded confirmation emails to customers the moment they submit a return. Configure your own SMTP so emails come from your domain — not a generic no-reply address.

Role-Based Access

Give your team the right level of access. Admins control everything, office staff raise and manage returns, account managers see their own portfolio, and warehouse staff use the scanner.

How it works

From logged to received
in three simple steps

1

Customer submits return

Your team shares a link via email or WhatsApp. The customer opens it in any browser, selects their products, adds batch numbers and photos of the fault, and hits submit. No account needed.

2

Driver scans on collection

Your driver opens the Ullage scanner on their phone. One scan of the QR label on the printed return note marks the item as collected — with a timestamp. No paperwork to carry back.

3

Warehouse confirms receipt

When goods arrive at your warehouse, staff scan again. The return is marked received, the record is complete, and your team can process the credit or replacement immediately.
