real success stories

“Price is always a concern, but breweries need to consider the various software subscriptions Ekos replaces and the time it saves. Ekos keeps you on top of things so nothing slips through the cracks, and that organization is invaluable.”

“With Ekos, we know exactly what we have on hand and what we need to buy. This is invaluable because we want our ingredients to be fresh and minimize how much working capital is tied up in inventory.”

“A lot of breweries are in crisis, and even small breweries like ours must base business decisions on reliable data only visible with a comprehensive brewery management system that pulls it all together.”

“We have all worked for other breweries, so we have a pretty good sense of an effective way to communicate with each other. Ekos gives us the foundation to build our conversations on and gives us the ability to draw on data to make better decisions.”

“There’s no question that our use of Ekos has helped us in handling our growth.”

“Ekos Order Hub takes the pressure off of me and ensures I don’t have to take the time to manually create invoices — I just approve orders.”

“Ekos is our backbone, really. We have a saying around the brewery: ‘Ekos is the Bible.’ When it really comes down to it, all of our business funnels down into Ekos… it’s our lifeblood, it’s what helps us succeed. Ekos is what helps us get beer out the door every single day.”

“I don’t know that I could do my job without Ekos. I’m in it every day. Having purchase orders, inventory, sales, and accounting flowing through one system makes Ekos like the middle hub in a big wheel — keeping everything together — as our business grows.”

“With Ekos, we have more time to do what we need to do instead of what we have to do. We can deal with customers more instead of sitting in the back room with tablets and notebooks trying to figure stuff out. We can be where we need to be, and that’s with the customer, making that sale, making the business a success.”

“Now that our information is centralized all in one intuitive platform [Ekos], if someone wants to look at an inventory item or generate a report, they go to Ekos and can easily access the required information. That’s a lot better than them sifting through a spreadsheet — there’s no doubt in my mind our efficiency is way up with Ekos.”

“I remember 75-hour work weeks, and not because the beer had to get made, but because I had to pay taxes, or I had to handwrite invoices. All of these tasks pull you away from the brewhouse. Of course it’s an important part of the job — we have to get paid to keep doing this — but I’m a brewer. The number one thing I want to do is make sure that my beer is as good as it can be and comes out on time, and the more time I have to do that, the better. That’s what Ekos lets me do.”

“I’m the one that pushed for us to get Ekos because it’s allowing me to focus on selling beer and growing the business and not worry about extra steps that are necessary but tedious.”

“We looked for a solution for almost a year and found that Ekos was the perfect system to help us control our dry goods inventory, our wine production, our bottling, and our shipment activity.”

“I don’t think that I could ever live without this level of granular reporting. The fact that Ekos interfaces directly with our accounting system — it’s the only way to do it.”

“The Ekos integrations with Arryved and QuickBooks are improving my day-to-day life exponentially. Now, some of the things that took me a few hours, I can get done in 15 minutes.”

“Without Ekos, there would be a heck of a lot of data entry and a lot of disconnect. It’s how we ensure invoices are paid. Having QuickBooks sync means that our off-site bookkeeper can work less and get more because our numbers are automatically organized.”

“It would be quite easy for us to get forgotten on the other side of the world, but Ekos’s focus on customer service has been excellent.”

“I have never seen a support team for a software that is as good as Ekos. The Ekos support reps are very knowledgeable and we can shoot off an email and get our questions and issues resolved right away.”

”You need something that operates the way Ekos operates and answers all of your questions. From inventory to sales to production, Ekos answers all of those questions for us.”

“Ekos Order Hub gives our brewery a centralized, flexible spot for communicating with customers and providing the best ordering process possible. We can’t wait to expand with this system.”

“Ekos made its software with a human-based understanding instead of purely numbers. I really like how living and breathing the program has been because it’s given us a lot of ability to breathe, communicate, and streamline the brewing process from start to finish.”

“I was going to have to hire a full-time accountant just to deal with inventory. When Ekos came along, it allowed me to focus on the big picture of growing the brewery instead of looking at brew sheets.”

“I can’t imagine life without Ekos for us now. Having these functions all in one system, when the interface and the intuitive nature of it is designed around a beverage production facility… I think it’s clearly the best solution.”

“With Ekos, we’re leveraging the data that’s available to us to help us manage our business more closely. Ekos has helped us elevate the business to where we are today — as we continue to grow.”

“We rely on Ekos heavily to run the business. As far as value goes, it’s really high. The more we’ve grown, the use and value of Ekos has gone up.”

“Ekos has been instrumental in our recordkeeping in helping us evaluate and track what we have at our two locations.”

“Ekos has really helped us keep track of inventory coming in, understand how that goes into the wine, and how that subtracts from inventory. It’s doing everything we need for production.”

“It’s really seamless to brew seltzer with Ekos.”

“Every part of the business sees the benefits of using Ekos. I couldn’t imagine doing anything without it.”

“For every brewer, we know that an empty tank costs us more than just a day of fermentation time. With Ekos, we know that every tank has a plan and that we have the resources on site ready to fill it”

“Ekos provides peace of mind that everything has been documented and you didn’t skip a step — so when you need that information, you know it’s there.”

“There’s no way you could actually replace [Ekos] with human effort. It’s a pretty easy cost benefit.”

“We were selling some beers at a much lower margin than intended in some cases, driving us to adjust some brands by as much as 10%. Having the batch history in Ekos helped us realize it.”

“Previously, I spent so much time trying to make three things – inventory, POS and accounting – talk to each other and it was a nightmare. We are very, very happy with the Ekos and Arryved and QuickBooks integrations.”

“We value Ekos because it saves us time and takes steps out of the process so we can put our focus back on making and selling great beer.”

“Understanding our costs and profit margins has always been difficult to manage. With Ekos, we have a better understanding of our entire operation which will hopefully lead us to become a more profitable business.”

“I couldn’t run my business without Ekos. Like any good tool, everyone [at Bike Dog] is using it, and we’re not looking to use anything else.”

“On the distributor side, we generate 50-60 invoices each day that have to be synced with QuickBooks. Without the Ekos sync, it would be horrible.”

“Ekos allows us to track from raw ingredients all the way through production and provides valuable management information and tax reporting that has improved our record keeping from previous paper methods and spreadsheets.”

“Through POS integrations, excise tax calculation, and TTB reporting tools, our team not only saves time but provides the peace of mind knowing that we have reliable record keeping.”

With Ekos, Bull City has access to an easy-to-use system with a hands-on, responsive support team. The cidery was able to cut down on time and resources for batch creation, inventory management and invoicing.

“Every night as I prepared logistics for orders, I had to reproduce every order in two places. Ekos makes all your invoices for you and syncs with QuickBooks. I’m easily saving 5-10 hours per week.”
