Growing brewery relies on Ekos for visibility across the business
LEWISTON, MAINE (Sept. 24, 2021) – One of Maine’s most beloved breweries, Baxter Brewing, is now utilizing Ekos to manage all brewery operations. Ekos, a business management platform for craft makers, powers operations for one in five U.S. breweries.
Baxter Brewing is leveraging the capabilities of Ekos to help in all areas of the business, including:
- Inventory management: Ability to see available inventory in real-time and understand costs
- Production planning: Tracking batches through the entire production process and forecasting for future batches
- Reporting: Utilizing out-of-the-box and custom reporting features to analyze data for better decision making
- Traceability: More in-depth traceability of ingredients and products throughout the brewing process
“Planning production is made simpler and easier with Ekos. I really love the floorplan view feature. It makes it easy to see where and what is in process at all times. You can easily click into any one of the brews to see all details you want to know,” said Sharon Hartford, controller at Baxter Brewing. “We use Ekos for everything, from bringing in raw materials, to building and processing recipes, to packaging the goods, to selling the finished goods product.”
Ekos is an all-in-one business management platform that helps craft businesses power growth, drive efficiencies, streamline communication and improve visibility. Breweries who use Ekos grow on average seven times faster than breweries who rely on other software solutions or manual methods like spreadsheets.
“Our overall goal is to improve company efficiency while maintaining a high-quality product, which Ekos can help us with,” said Paul Marichal, brewery operations manager at Baxter Brewing. “Ekos has a clear plan to make us successful and will help the company continue to scale.”
“We are thrilled to support Baxter Brewing as they work to scale their business,” said Josh McKinney, CEO of Ekos. “Ekos is designed to provide craft producers with the tools and data necessary to grow. There is nothing more rewarding than being a part of our customers’ success and seeing them achieve their goals.”
