Craft Breweries Flock to Cloud for Brewery Management Software Solution

Online, November 21, 2012 (Newswire.com) - OrchestratedBEER is making huge strides in the craft beer industry with its cloud-based brewery management software offering called OnDemand. What was once only affordable for the world's largest breweries is now available to craft breweries of all sizes.

OrchestratedBEER alleviates the pains associated with utilizing multiple software tools such as linked spreadsheets, whiteboards and book keeping software. With OnDemand, even start up breweries can afford cloud versions of the same enterprise systems used by the world's largest breweries.

The success of OrchestratedBEER's OnDemand offering is due to its affordability, accessibility, and the fact that many growing breweries are beginning to encounter the limitations of entry-level systems that were once deemed sufficient.

Built on the SAP Business One platform, OrchestratedBEER is designed to handle as many as 1,000 users or as few as one user, making it a perfect solution for any craft brewery. OrchestratedBEER has built up a solid customer base of 30 breweries since its launch three years ago, and plans to increase that number to 214 customers by the year 2014.

Four start up breweries signed up with OnDemand back in May when it first became available. Hilliard's Beer was not only the first brewery to go live on OnDemand, but also the first company ever in North America to go live with SAP's cloud version.

With more than 90% of current craft breweries in the industry producing less than 15,000 barrels a year, OnDemand brings the robust enterprise-level capabilities of SAP to small and midsized breweries, without the large investment in infrastructure.

OnDemand provides all of the same core features available in the Standard and Enterprise versions of the software such as: Automated Accounting, Inventory Tracking, Production Management and Planning, Quality Control, Supply Chain Management, TTB Reporting, Sales Management and CRM.

OnDemand has eliminated costly implementations with pre-configured templates, making it a turnkey solution with the same robust enterprise capabilities of a perpetual ERP system.

User training sessions are also streamlined and simplified in a workshop format held at OrchestratedBEER's headquarters in Portland, Oregon. The workshop style training allows attendees to fully understand how the software processes data being input to the system without the distractions of being in the brewery.

OrchestratedBEER is leading the way in providing affordable, brewery-specific ERP software solutions, and will continue to set the standard by which all others are compared.
