Efficiency-Enhancing Craft Beverage Software

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Ekos and GoTab Enter a Strategic Partnership

— September 24, 2024 — Business
Ekos and GoTab have announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing operational efficiency for craft beverage producers through a new integrated software solution. This collaboration is designed to address challenges such as inventory management and sales tracking, which often result from disconnections between Point of Sale systems and inventory management platforms.

The integration promises several advantages, including the ability to accurately map inventory items between Ekos and GoTab systems. This has implications for facilitating better data consistency. The software allows users to allocate inventory to specific storage areas within taprooms, thus improving management practices. Additionally, real-time inventory depletion based on sales data from various channels helps ensure up-to-date inventory levels, which is crucial for minimizing discrepancies. Another notable feature is the loss management capability, which allows users to track sales alongside keg usage.
