Why breweries switch from Ollie to BrewPlanner
BrewPlanner was built to address the gaps breweries experience with legacy tools like Ollie.
A Modern Interface You Will Actually Use
BrewPlanner is built with a clean, intuitive interface that your whole team can learn in minutes — not days. No clunky navigation or hidden features.
- Visual drag-and-drop scheduling
- Mobile-friendly design for the brewery floor
- Minimal training required for new team members
Built-In MRP That Ollie Lacks
BrewPlanner's MRP module calculates raw material requirements based on your production schedule and automatically generates purchase orders — a capability Ollie does not include.
- Automatic material requirement calculations
- Purchase order generation from production schedule
- Supplier management and cost tracking
Flexible Reporting Without Add-Ons
Get the reports you need — production metrics, inventory analysis, cost tracking — included in your plan, not sold as separate add-ons.
- Pre-built dashboards for key brewery KPIs
- Custom report builder with export options
- No additional charge for reporting features
