It's been really great forecasting and planning tool, although our production is getting a little big and complicated for it. Price is amazing for what you get. We have not used the inventory or sales side. It's hard to find software that does this in the correct way for the Finnish authorities. We use another service for this so i have not really looked into it. Search function was not very good. even searching for brew dates or past lot numbers seemed difficult.

Pros

Visually, brewplanner has been excellent. We have run Monday morning staff meetings, focusing on brewplanner dashboard for 3 years now. It's easy to forecast and plan brews and packaging runs. We use the notes sections to assign tasks to staff.

Cons

Some bugs now and then. Some staff found that their updates (especially notes) would disappear.

Reasons for choosing BrewPlanner

Price, brewery focused. recommendation from another craft brewery

Overall, BrewPlanner has been a great option for us at this stage of our growth. We brew kombucha, not beer, and it has been easy to adapt for our products. I highly recommend BrewPlanner if you are looking to get a better handle on your production schedule and inventory planning.

Pros

BrewPlanner is easy to use, visually intuitive, and offers knowledgable & authentic support to its customers. Working with them has been a consistently positive experience, as they are always striving to improve and develop options to better serve their customers.

Cons

There isn't an app version, which has slowed adoption by production workers.

Reasons for choosing BrewPlanner

As a small producer, we didn't need all the bells and whistles that come with the expensive ERP systems and wanted something that was flexible, tailored to our needs, and affordable.

Overall good. We don't utilize nearly as much as is offered however what we use it for, we like it.

Pros

The ease of use, multiple teams can access and see it.

Cons

Moving beers around seems to get glitchy, when extending the residence times in tanks sometimes you have to scroll around a lot to find the point in which changing the tank time is allowable

Alternatives considered

[Ekos](https://www.capterra.com/p/151906/Ekos-Brewmaster/)

Reasons for choosing BrewPlanner

Cost was a big thing, Ekos had more features than we needed thus wasted money on the subscription.

Thank you for your review, Benjamin! One strategy that many breweries use when trying to make space for extending residence times is to create an additional column as a place holder for brews that are getting moved. Reach out to support@brewplanner.com if you'd like to discuss that option further. Cheers!

Pros

We love the timeline view rather than the Birds Eye tank view others implement. Brewing is never an exact schedule and being able to shift things around easily is very convenient and effective. We use it frequently in team meetings to forecast production and plan exact dates for product release. It’s amazing in that way!

Cons

We’ve had issue expressing our concerns with how the software functions and it being heard by the company. 3 years in and we’ve not seen any of our feedback implemented. We’ve also had many occurrences of batches disappearing or many edits not saved correctly. For the software team: we use icons A LOT and you’ve stated that it’s the corner stone of your UI and keeping it simple. To our point when we started using your system icons were easy in that when we extended or contracted the schedule the icons would adjust accordingly(mainly the packaging days at the end of brites or the transfer days at the end of fermentation), but an update was made a while back and now we find ourselves making A LOT of clicking to keep icons placed correctly. It has made things a lot less convenient. Also, PLEASE make the icon dropdowns alphabetical or customizable order. Thank you!

Response from Vendor

February 6, 2024

Hi Cody, Thank you so much for your review- we're happy to hear that it has facilitated your forecasting and visualization! We always appreciate feedback and requests from our customers. The icon behavior that you have mentioned was changed because it was resulting in other issues. We have added it back to our backlog to see if we can find a solution to bring it back since that was such a useful feature. Please reach out to us at support@brewplanner.com any time you experience an issue such as edits not saving correctly so we can get it resolved right away. We have also added the icon request to the backlog. In the meantime, we wanted to make sure you were aware that you can select exactly which icons appear in each section from the "Icons in Sections" page. This allows you to remove any icons that are not used in your brewery. Thank you again for your review and we will be in touch when we have an update! Cheers~

A good intro to basic brewery production planning with plenty of options for the small brewer but more complex and complicated brewhouse-ops requiring a higher level of "work-arounds" to accommodate planning.

Pros

With the free price tag this is tough to beat in regards to brewhouse production planning. Aesthetically pleasing and fairly intuitive layout. There is decent amount flexibility and expansion to adapt to most small-moderate size brewing operations. Once you get a hang of user interface workflow becomes increasingly easier.

Cons

Seems to still be in Beta phase. A few operation glitches (occasionally planned brewing cycles wont save). On the fly changes due to brewing snafus or irregularities seem cumbersome to accomodate. No integration with other management tools (that I can see)

Thank you for your review, Seth. We are continuing to develop our pro version that will include more features and eventually integration with other systems and tools. We always welcome any feedback or suggestions that will help inform the best way to implement these features. We can also schedule a video call any time to discuss a specific scenario you're finding cumbersome to accommodate. Please reach out to support@brewplanner.com anytime with questions or feedback.

This replaced Excel spreadsheets. Now, I make fewer mistakes and create the schedule faster.

Pros

Makes scheduling complicated fermentation and conditioning profiles easy. Makes it more difficult to make mistakes.

Cons

It doesn't print. You can only create one activity per day per beer.

Pros

Easy to understand. Communicates complex issues effectively and easily. Customer support receptive to suggested improvement and troubleshooting. It's free to use.

Cons

Sometimes restrictive, would like a great ability to customize to our needs (create new icons, better labelling solutions, more room for notes, better designation of brands beyond the color, etc) - Still seems unfinished and buggy - sometimes resulting in inability to use software.
