Do you find your brewery is constantly running out of certain SKU's, leaving customers frustrated and sending your sales managers scrambling into service recovery mode? You try to ramp up production, only to find that materials or ingredients are out of stock and can't be replaced for days or weeks?

​

Or maybe you have the opposite problem: excessive product sitting in warehouses and distribution centers, slowly aging, getting oxidized, and tying up your valuable cash, only to be a mere tasteless shadow of the fantastic beer you brewed once it finally gets in the hands of a consumer six months later?

​

Or it might be that you're solving your immediate product availability requirements, but don't know what you'll need for the next few weeks or months. You'd like to run features and specials with large retailers, but aren't sure if you can properly execute them. You'd rather not run the same SKU every few days, optimizing your packaging line time, ingredients and materials in order to maximize your cashflow.

​

It is a common problem in the craft beer industry. Often, production planning is done without all the necessary information, basing very important decision on what to brew and when on guesswork and assumptions. Let's face it - operations staff simply does not have time to sift through all that sales and inventory data to create an optimal plan!
