SIBA members are reminded to use Spa Trak

10 December 2008 at 17:15
Spa Trak is an internet based system provided by Kegwatch to record the stocks of foreign empties held at a yard, allowing container owners to identify the location of their assetts. 

The British Beer & Pub Association Container Management Best Practice document recommends the use of Spa Trak to notify cask owners of the location of their errant casks. The document further recommends that containers should be uplifted (or arrangements made to uplift) within 28 days of being entered on Spa Trak. If they are not collected within this time frame they may be passed on to Kegwatch as unclaimed casks.

Please find attached Noddy’s Guide to using Spa Trak

New features include;
1. The ability for messages to be posted on My Yard/My Containers pages.
2. A facility for users to schedule periodic My Yard/My Containers
activity email reports.
3. The My Containers page has been changed so that only yard owners can
update their current containers.

Training has been given this week to persons from both Kuehne & Nagel and Inbev for using the system and they are going to be cascading that to their depots. Coors, Brains and Greene King are already using the system. All major, regional and family brewers have comitted to using it by the end of the year.

The success of Spa Trak in this venture will depend on the participation of as many brewers as possible.
If yards find that they are entering information and it is being ignored than they will stop using the system.
This is a huge opportunity for the brewing industry to work together and make this succeed.
