BrewPlanner is a brewery management platform that lets craft breweries schedule every step of the brewing process, track inventory and raw materials, and keep the whole crew aligned on a single, cloud‑based dashboard.

Reasons to Love It

BrewPlanner has a strong position as the affordable, entry-level ERP for brewers. It’s an easy operational win over spreadsheets and lighter weight and more affordable than the heavier market incumbents.

Retention is strong and switching is infrequent since the system is deeply integrated with brewery operations.

Bear Case

The craft brewing industry itself has cooled off and new breweries are not popping up as often.

The app is also written in Java, which makes it more difficult to maintain especially since the rest of our portfolio is concentrated around JavaScript.

Future Plans

Integrations with POS and accounting systems, improving SEO, and marketing to adjacent verticals like distilleries and cider producers.
