the story of Ekos
Ekos was founded in 2014 based on a love of craft beverages and software development. Our founders discovered that craft producers were using manual methods like spreadsheets and clipboards to manage their processes and knew there must be a better way.
The only options available were expensive and complicated ERP systems, so they set out to create Ekos, a business management system that was affordable, easy to use, and carefully crafted for craft manufacturers. Ekos is now the industry-leading software for beer, wine, and cider producers, with features and integrations to automate manual tasks like no other tool can.
