We're excited to announce that the new Finished Goods Traceability Module is here! This innovative update to Beer30 software transforms inventory management, quality assurance, and customer satisfaction for breweries. Enhancing the existing "Sales Traceability Module," this upgrade introduces comprehensive tracking capabilities. Now, you're empowered to closely monitor cases and kegs of finished beer on a per-batch basis. With each batch brewed, you'll gain deeper insights into traceability, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), and detailed batch histories, enabling even greater control over your production process.
The new Finished Goods Traceability Module in Beer30 brewery software helps breweries to:
Here’s what’s new in the latest update to Beer30's brewery software.
As a brewer, you know that the fresher the beer, the better. Breweries almost always try to follow First In, First Out (FIFO) for packaged goods. In theory, this works great, but in practice, tracking it accurately can be difficult. As new products get stacked in front of older products, and “First In” products end up hidden away in the back of the coldbox, keeping track can become difficult.
With Beer30’s new Finished Goods Traceability module, First In, First Out is easy! Breweries can implement FIFO logic for batch codes in their brewery software system and ensure beers are aged appropriately and delivered to customers at their freshest.
With the new update, First In First Out methodology will automatically be applied as you enter in products. No more manual data entry and tedious logging!
Beer30's new proprietary batch trace functionality goes beyond traditional brewery software tracking systems. It incorporates the overall output of beer blending, transfers, filters, and packaging losses into an accurate Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) value for each brand AND batch number. This new update gives breweries precise insights into the true cost of their beer products on a per-item and per-batch basis.
The Finished Goods Traceability Module provides the exact COGS value for all of your finished goods. This update displays the exact COGS value for all of your packaged products in real-time, enabling you to use Beer30's brewery software to make data-driven decisions to optimize profitability.
Without the right data, setting goals can feel like guesswork. Unrealistic targets can demotivate your brewing team, while setting goals too low can lead to missed profit opportunities. Beer30's Finished Goods Traceability Module allows you to set achievable COGS targets for each brand. By comparing actual COGS against these targets, your brew team can identify areas for improvement and streamline processes to meet profitability goals.
Picture this: you’ve established relationships with distributors all throughout the region, sales are up, and everything is looking good. Just then, you get a call from your keg manufacturer – the latest batch of kegs has a defect. You know the one you just distributed 50 BBLs of your IPA in? Yep, that one.
While product recalls will always be a bummer, the new Traceability Module makes dealing with recalls simple. With detailed batch tracing capabilities, breweries can quickly identify the exact locations and recipients of products in the event of a recall, enabling swift and effective response measures.
This new update gives you even greater peace of mind than before, with the power to track batch numbers. This makes it simple to find products in the case of a recall and set things right with your distributors.
Tax compliance and financial reporting are critical for brewery operations, but managing these tasks can be time-consuming. With Beer30's brewery software, integration with accounting software like QuickBooks Online and Xero makes compliance easy. The new module automatically syncs COGS values with your General Ledger, ensuring accurate financial reporting and hassle-free tax compliance, giving you more time to focus on brewing.
