why choose Ekos over OrchestratedBEER
Your business deserves brewery management software that is flexible, scalable, and doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket.
the Ekos advantage
“OrchestratedBEER is time-consuming, overly complicated and difficult to use. The people using the software were spending 30-50% of their workday trying to do the most basic tasks… Ekos is miles ahead of OrchestratedBEER in terms of usability on a day-to-day basis.”
– Craig Melton, COO, TrimTabBrewing

Instead of rejiggering a big, complicated ERP platform to fit the unique needs of the brewing industry, we built Ekos specifically for brewers and made it flexible enough for scaling companies and regular software updates.We know that a brewery management system is more effective when your entire team can use it, which is why we don’t charge you for extra logins and you can access Ekos from anywhere on any device. Plus, you can continue using QuickBooks or Xero and have all your financial information in Ekos sync over to your accounting platform. It’s as easy as that.
