the Ekos brewery software difference
Better than spreadsheets
If you’re looking to run your brewery more efficiently and profitably, you need a solution beyond spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are disconnected, prone to errors, and require extensive manual data entry and analysis- not to mentions the lack of real-time insights. Instead, Ekos offers a single, connected, cloud-based brewery operations software that enables you to:
- Gain real-time visibility into every aspect of your brewery’s operations, metrics, and future needs.
- Optimize communication and collaboration across your team with centralized tools.
- Access critical business information from anywhere with our cloud-based system.
With Ekos, you can leave the inefficiency of spreadsheets behind and unlock smarter, more connected brewery management.
Better than just production software
While tracking every batch of beer is essential, its not enough to sustain growth and efficiency. Ekos is a comprehensive brewery management system that goes beyond production to provide the tools you need to plan, execute, and monitor every aspect of your operations.
- Track raw materials, recipes, batches, and packaging in an automated and scalable system
- Manage finished goods inventory, sales activities, and distributor orders seamlessly.
- Streamline sales orders from distributors and retailers using the Ekos Order Hub
When it comes to features and functionality, no other brewery management software comes close to Ekos. We provide the tools to take your brewery operations to the next level.
Better than disconnected systems
Piecing together disconnected systems for difference parts of your brewery might seem like a solution, but it often leads to inefficiencies, errors, and a lack of visibility into the bigger picture. Ekos gives you a holistic, integrated view of your business with powerful analytics and reporting tools that save time and reduce risk.
- Track every batch from grain to glass across all sales channels with comprehensive documentation.
- Save hours of manual work with pre-populated, automated TTB reports.
- Integrate seamlessly with your POS, eCommerce, and accounting systems to create a unified, transparent workflow.
With Ekos, you’ll benefit from an integrated, data-driven approach that eliminates inefficiencies and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
