  • Brewery Management Software - What are you looking for?

    Hi, this is my first post but I've been a viewer of the boards for quite a while and have learned an incredible amount, for that I thank everyone.

    I'm working on a cloud-based brewery management solution and I hope to find some specific things that pro brewers are looking for in brewery management software. I've learned a lot about the current market with Ekos and OrchestratedBeer and my goal is to build a high-quality, low cost alternative to get brewers off of spreadsheets and into a well integrated management system. To be clear, I'm NOT here to solicit sales for a product, I just want to put together a functional wish list that I can use as a starting point for building the solution.

    Some things I know we will include:
    1. Sales management - forecasting, opportunity pipelines, sales, distributors, etc.
    2. Raw ingredient inventory management
    3. Production management - raw inventory usage/tracking over a production timeline
    3. Finished product inventory management
    4. Keg tracking
    5. Customer list management/segmentation (for possible integration with email marketing like MailChimp or ConstantContact)
    6. TTB reports

    Some things I don't know if we'll include:
    1. Quality Control - tracking batch quality, reporting, analytics
    2. Accounting, chart of accounts, general ledger, etc. (thinking maybe all that can just live in Quick Books or something similar).
    3. Taproom/POS integration?

    If you have an opinion on any of these things I would love to hear it, thanks very much!

    Curious if this ever panned out. We're looking for lower-cost alternatives for a small brewery with very little distribution, so the price tags of Ekos and Obeer are out of our price range. Let me know if you ended up building this.
