Who it is for

  • Craft breweries and cideries

    Production, inventory, keg tracking, sales and TTB reporting in one system, with Ekos citing Beer / Cider plans.

  • Wineries

    Adds bulk wine, work orders, additive tracking and harvest planning to the core platform.

  • Distilleries

    Distillery features are sold as an add-on on beer and cider plans and as a spirits plan.

  • Producers running several sites or tasting rooms

    Manages inventory per location plus transfers, split by tax ID for TTB reports.

Less suited to: Large manufacturers that want a heavyweight ERP. Ekos says it is not a complicated ERP like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or NetSuite.

What it does

  • Real-time inventory

    Inventory with reorder points and barcode scanner support across storage, warehouse and taproom areas.

  • Facility view

    Drag-and-drop digital layout of the facility for real-time tracking of stock and tanks.

  • Cost accounting and COGS

    Cost of goods reporting; the vendor claims better cost visibility can improve margins by 10 to 15 percent.

  • TTB reporting

    Pre-populated TTB Brewer's Report of Operations and excise tax reports; the vendor says it saves 10+ hours a month.

  • Keg tracking

    Tracks kegs by location and customer, with freshness by location, updated by staff and drivers.

  • Lot tracking and certifications

    Lot tracking and batch records for compliance and audits.

  • Ekos Order Hub

    Portal where distributors and customer accounts see available inventory and place orders with your quantity, date and price rules.

  • Sales dashboard

    Forecasts raw materials, work in process, components and finished goods for inventory, production and sales planning.

  • Multiple location management

    Inventory per location with transfers, split by tax ID and location.

  • Bulk wine and additive tracking

    Winery features for bulk wine production and purchasing, work orders and additive and dry goods tracking.

  • Custom reports
