Crux Fermentation Project adds cloud-based management from GP Analytics

GP Analytics LLC, a cloud-based software solution for craft brewers, announced a new partnership agreement with Bend, Ore.-based Crux Fermentation Project.

“GP Analytics has proven themselves to be the perfect match for Crux at just the right time,” said Paul Evers, co-founder, Crux Fermentation Project. “Their willingness to listen, learn and customize their capabilities to our needs proved to be a strong differentiator for them. They really understand the craft space and apply a very high level of technical expertise to arrive at solutions that just make sense. They also genuinely love craft— we see them in our Tasting Room on a regular basis. Sharing a passion is always helpful in building strong working relationships.”

GP Analytics cloud-based software provides solutions for craft brewers with the primary focus being accurate forecasting, production management and supply chain logistics. The software is managed by a GP Analytics team member who works directly with the partner brewers to ensure they have the most up to date information at their fingertips.

GP Analytics designed the software to be the next generation of forecasting and supply-chain system management. The system utilizes a seasonal trend, forward-looking approach that helps breweries of all sizes better manage their production schedule, balance inventory (throughout the supply chain) and more efficiently ship beer to their wholesaler. The overall goal is to help brewers supply consumers with the freshest beer while continuing to grow at a sustainable rate.

GP Analytics’ ability to provide an accurate data driven forecast hopefully allows their partners to see short-term and long-term growth trends in their markets and beyond. With a forecasting accuracy rate of 97 percent or better, their partners can grow rapidly and sustainably. Additionally, the cloud-based portal gives their partners all the information they need for day to day production, packaging and shipping needs.

GP Analytics works with numerous breweries across the U.S., including 10 Barrel Brewing Co., and Hop Valley Brewing Co., Devil’s Backbone Brewing Co., Lewis & Clark Brewing Co., and Schlafly Brewing Co.
