You don’t know us, at yeast not yet. However, we know you!

If your company is a brewery or microbrewery, we know your business processes. We understand your challenges. We know how a modern ERP software system can help your company survive and thrive. We know you because we have clients just like you. We’ve spent decades serving the software needs of breweries and microbreweries, learning the industry, and accumulating industry knowledge. That’s why we can safely say that.

Industry Knowledge Wins the Day for Our Brewery and Microbrewery ERP Clients

We understand the brewing and bottling processes, labeling, and packaging requirements that challenge you daily. We also know that alcohol is a highly and strictly regulated industry. Furthermore, we understand that beer has a relatively short shelf life compared to other alcoholic beverages. And we understand that the recipe for each type of beer you brew requires the highest possible level of exactitude because every bottle or keg needs to be precisely the same.

But most of all, we understand the importance of:

Brewery and Microbrewery Regulatory Compliance

All alcoholic beverages, as mentioned above, are highly and strictly regulated at the federal, state, and local levels. Beer is no exception.

There is a three-tier system with producers at the top, wholesalers in the middle, and retailers at the bottom. The three-tier system ensures product safety, tax collection, and the prevention of market domination by restricting any one tier from having a financial interest in another.

And if that wasn’t already difficult enough, there are also two regulatory systems: The control and the license models.

And if that wasn’t complex enough, there are not one but several federal agencies that oversee alcohol:

• The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
• The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
• The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
• The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
• The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE), better known as the ATF

If your company is a brewery or microbrewery, you already know the complexities of regulation and compliance. So why are we telling you? It goes back to what I said at the very beginning of this article.

You don’t know us, at least not yet. However, we know you!  

We want to show you how well-versed we are in various aspects of your business. Compliance is not the only issue you deal with every day. There’s also Inventory Management (IM), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Logistics Management.

In the current environment, where freight and drayage costs are rising many folds, you need all the help you can get to maximize efficiency. You need to find ways to increase productivity, stay on top of compliance, and streamline processes and operations so that every penny you save can go straight to the bottom line. And that help comes from a fully integrated, modern, powerful ERP software system called Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
