Has anyone had experience with KegID app by Anotherround App. It looks great and is reasonably priced and should save a lot of time managing a growing keg inventory. I am evaluating it and thought I should see if anyone has any opinions. I am using an Android phone and I am concerned that is has been designed for an iphone.

We use it to manage about 100 kegs. It's missing some tracking intelligence here & there, but works pretty well. The staff at anotherround apps is helpful and responsive. I would love a formal API. Works just fine on android, but the barcode scanner periodically stops working & needs to be reinstalled.--Dean Brundage

I've been considering this but I'm struggling with the price - I am not seeing the ROI. To manage 2000 kegs would cost about $250 per month - or $3000 a year. I can buy over 30 kegs for that - I'm not losing track of that many -
It could help me know who's got what and how long they've had it which could help the sales team - but at 40% margin on a $140 keg - its got to help me move at least 53 more kegs a year. Is that a reasonable expectation of this app? Anyone using it? Is that a realistic expectation?

Keg Tracking Utility if using a Distributor?
Hey guys -
I fight a continual battle trying to get kegs back from our distributor in a reasonable time, I'm sure this is a common refrain. (Incidentally, I'd be curious what the current rule-of-thumb is on # of kegs required per tap handle...)
Anyway, I'm curious how much utility something like this has given that my distributor will surely *not* be using it. The only "ammo" it provides me is asking why a particular keg(s) has been out for 10 weeks, but beyond that I have no visibility to where in the distribution chain the keg is stalled.
I did do the Excel tracking sheet for many months and finally it just overwhelmed us. Maybe I was trying to capture too much data. With that said, it was nice to be able to know if a keg had been in the wind for many weeks.
I guess I'm wondering if I can justify another $50/month to rebuild my ability to accurately hound the distributor for my kegs.
