Every Barrel Protected. Every Inspection Documented.

The Compliance Stack
Distilleries Are One of the Most Inspected Industries in America
Flammable spirits, high-pressure equipment, confined fermentation spaces, public tasting rooms, and a fleet of delivery vehicles — every area carries its own regulatory body and inspection schedule.
🔥
Fire Suppression & Protection
Still rooms, barrel warehouses, and bottling lines require dedicated fire suppression systems. Spirits are Class I flammable liquids — the stakes couldn’t be higher.
NFPA 30 · NFPA 96 · NFPA 25
⚙️
Boiler & Pressure Vessel
Continuous stills, pot stills, steam boilers, and pressure cookers all require state-mandated annual inspections by licensed inspectors. Missed = shut down.
ASME Section I & VIII · NBIC · KRS 236
🛢️
Confined Space (Fermenters)
Fermentation tanks, grain silos, and mash tanks are permit-required confined spaces. CO₂ buildup and oxygen deficiency kill quickly. Entry permits are legally required every time.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146
🍺
Tasting Room & Food Service
Your tasting room and kitchen are subject to full health department oversight — food temps, handwashing, sanitation, and more. The health inspector doesn’t care how good your bourbon is.
FDA Food Code · KY State Health Dept
⚡
Electrical & Hazardous Locations
Bottling halls and still rooms are classified hazardous locations. All electrical equipment must be rated for Class I Div 1 or 2. Annual thermographic scans protect you from catastrophic arc flash.
NFPA 70 · NFPA 70B · NFPA 70E · API 505
🚛
DOT Fleet & Hazmat
Delivery vehicles carrying finished spirits are transporting hazardous materials under DOT regulations. Annual CMV inspections, driver qualification files, and HazMat documentation are required.
49 CFR 396 · 49 CFR 172 · FMCSA

The FirstNet Parallel
FirstNet didn't sell radios — it sold mission-critical connectivity that made every person in the public safety ecosystem more accountable. Guspora is the same model for distilleries. When a still operator logs a pressure anomaly, it automatically creates a deficiency, assigns it to maintenance, notifies the safety officer, and if it's a boiler-class vessel, flags it for the licensed inspector — all without a phone call. One system. Every role. Every log. One compliance record.
The Blue Ocean
Every Competitor Owns One Lane. Guspora Owns All Six.
Ekos tracks what you made. SafetyCulture tracks if you're safe. Inspect Point tracks your fire systems. No platform connects all three — until now.
