the Ekos brewery software difference
better than spreadsheets
If you want to run your brewery more efficiently and profitably, spreadsheets are not the answer. They’re disconnected, prone to errors, and require a ton of manual data analysis that isn’t based on real-time data. When you can track every aspect of your business in a single, connected, cloud-based brewery operations software (ahem, Ekos), you can:
- Get real-time visibility into your brewery’s operations & forecast future needs
- Improve communication between your people
- Access your business information from anywhere
better than just production software
Granular tracking of every batch of beer is vital, but it’s not enough. Choose a system that gives you everything you need to plan, execute, and analyze production, plus so much more. When it comes to range and quality of features, no other brewery management system on the market comes close.
- Track raw materials, recipes, batches, and packaging in an automated system
- Manage finished goods inventory & sales activities
- Streamline sales orders from distributors & retailers with Ekos Order Hub
better than disconnected systems
You might be tempted to piecemeal systems for different parts of the brewery, but it’s nearly impossible to connect the dots and see the big picture, which leads to inefficiencies and risk. Ekos gives you a holistic view of your business with micro-level drill-down into every data point, all without duplicating entries.
- Document batches from grain to glass through any sales channel
- Avoid hours (or days) of frustration with pre-populated TTB reports
- Integrate Ekos with your POS, ecommerce & accounting systems for maximum transparency and time-savings
