Why breweries switch from Ekos to BrewPlanner
BrewPlanner delivers a better experience at a lower cost — without sacrificing the features you depend on.
A Modern Experience Ekos Cannot Match
BrewPlanner was built from the ground up with a modern tech stack. The result is a faster, cleaner, and more intuitive experience compared to Ekos's aging interface.
- Responsive design that works on any device
- Fast, modern UI with no page reloads
- Intuitive navigation your team learns in minutes
Visual Scheduling That Actually Helps
Ekos offers basic scheduling, but BrewPlanner provides a visual drag-and-drop calendar with automatic conflict detection — so you spend less time managing the schedule and more time brewing.
- Drag-and-drop batch scheduling
- Automatic conflict detection across shared resources
- Multi-week and multi-vessel planning views
MRP Without the Upsell
Ekos charges extra for inventory and MRP features. BrewPlanner includes full raw material planning, purchase orders, and inventory management in the MRP plan — no surprise add-ons.
- Material requirements planning included in MRP plan
- Automated purchase order generation
- No hidden per-feature or per-module fees
