Ekos, a business management software for breweries, wineries and cideries, is simplifying things. The company announced Ekos Order Hub, its digital sales order portal, is now a standard part of its all-in-one software platform that connects the craft supply chain.
Yes: Ekos customers with an Essentials, Plus, or Professional package will all have access to Ekos Order Hub. Ekos Order Hub has helped craft producers process more than $4.25 million in orders in 2022 to nearly 300 distributors and retailers.
“From the beginning, Ekos has been on a mission to empower craft makers to work more efficiently and save time, so they can focus on the things that matter most: running a successful business, building community, and making great products,” said Ekos CEO Josh McKinney. “Ekos is the platform that will connect the craft beverage industry, bringing greater visibility so business owners can better compete in today’s marketplace.”
In addition, Ekos has made significant updates over the past 12 months and is continuing to improve the platform in three key areas:
Strengthening the foundation of the software: Last year, Ekos retired its classic platform in favor of Ekos Boost, a modern interface that makes the software more intuitive and easier to use. The team is continuing to improve speed, usability, and the overall user experience with additional updates, including the upcoming launch of bulk inventory transfer functionality and a new workflow for inventory adjustments which saves users significant time on key tasks.
With the addition of Ekos Order Hub to the core platform, producers can drive more sales by seamlessly connecting with distributor and retailer accounts.
Connecting the craft supply chain: Ekos is rolling out new software integrations, partnerships, and product improvements across the supply chain to help businesses better manage the flow of raw materials and finished goods from production through multiple sales channels. Example: a new integration with Shopify. Each new connection point will help businesses get greater visibility into their available inventory and sales channels so they can better plan resources and production schedules to meet demand.
Increasing data visibility and actionable insights: Ekos is linking disparate parts of the supply chain together and helping businesses move beyond point solutions and spreadsheets. With a flow of information through a centralized business management platform, craft producers can have all of the data at their fingertips to propel their businesses forward.
