Having an effective production software can help you save money, time, and decrease errors. Brew Ninja serves as a centralized hub for production and other business functions.


Manual Inventory and Brewing Spreadsheet Systems take more time than you realize

For Wolf Brewing Company, the main challenge they were facing pre-Brew Ninja had to do with the fact that their systems were highly manual, using a series of connected excel spreadsheets along with handwritten logs. According to Rob Regner, Co-Owner at Wolf, this inefficient way of doing things lead to significantly more hours required to run their business. It also introduced the opportunity for errors and limited their ability to evaluate and monitor their business performance.


As well, Rob found that these issues were leading to increased costs and time delays, and made it difficult to identify and respond to needed changes within their business. For Wolf Brewing, they knew that these issues and inefficiencies were only going to get worse and more prominent as they continued to grow, and they needed a solution that could help them with this. This is when Rob and the team came across Brew Ninja.

 

Pick the right Brewery Management Software

For Rob and Wolf Brewing as a whole, 

"Brew Ninja has been a fantastic addition to our business, providing a centralized hub for all of our business functions from the raw material requisition and production/packaging activities to inventory, sales and reporting management". 

 

Wolf Brewing also benefited directly from integration with their already existing accounting system and found that integration has been relatively seamless, and Wolf has been able to benefit directly from said integration. 

 

"In addition to time savings generated, we now have real-time online access to our entire inventory, location tracking for all of our assets, an effective traceability system, and reporting capabilities that provide line of sight on key business functions enabling improved and faster decision making" stated Rob.

 

In short, Wolf Brewing is no longer reliant on a single excel spreadsheet or clipboard for keeping track of their business, and that is due in large part to adopting Brew Ninja.
