Why partner with TUW

What it does for your dairy

Four reasons dairies choose to distribute through The Udder Way — and stay.

01

Brand Visibility

Your dairy’s brand is front and centre at the point of pour — displayed on TUW’s
digital screens on café counters across every venue we supply. No private-label erasure,
no anonymity. Your identity travels with your milk.

02

Sustainability Proof

Real numbers, not greenwashing. Every delivery generates ESG data — plastic eliminated,
CO₂ avoided, reuse cycles logged. Share it with your own buyers and B-corp reporting.

03

Venue Relationships

We manage the logistics. You get the outcome: your milk in premium hospitality venues
that choose on quality and provenance — and keep coming back.

04

Commercial Intelligence

Access to pour data, venue performance, and keg cycle analytics through the TUW platform.
Know exactly where your product is and how it’s moving.

Clean

Filled at your dairy.

Your team fills the keg and records the batch via the TUW app — fill data, product specs, and use-by date logged to the keg’s digital identity instantly.

Cleaned and certified.

Every returned keg is cleaned and sanitised before the next fill. The clean record is logged against the keg’s digital identity — full hygiene traceability, every cycle.

Delivered to venue.

TUW drivers collect filled kegs and deliver them to cafés and venues on your network. Every stop is logged — departure, arrival, and proof of delivery, all in real time.

Poured and tracked.

Venues scan the keg QR code to confirm receipt and tap status. Your milk’s provenance and dairy name are displayed on TUW’s digital screens at the café counter.

Cleaned and back again.

Empty kegs are collected, returned to your dairy, cleaned, and certified ready for the next fill. 100% closed loop — zero single-use packaging, every cycle tracked.
