Still buzzing from this year’s Craft Brewers Conference, we are taking a moment to recap what we learned during our time at the event. In the initial hours, it became evident that our presence had garnered attention far beyond the status of newcomers. Our booth had steady activity as attendees from all over sought us out to dive into live product demos and chat about Ohanafy’s offerings. 

This remarkable experience served as an invaluable platform to unveil our software and gain insights into the preferences and feedback of our current and prospective customers. Now, let’s take a look at the highlights of what made Ohanafy an instant hit at the conference:

Here’s What Attendees Loved About Ohanafy: 

1. Robust Reporting

Current and prospective customers alike were captivated by Ohanafy’s reporting tools. These robust reporting tools make creating reports for production, inventory, sales, and marketing easy.

2. Margin Analysis

The second thing that attendees loved about Ohanafy was its margin analysis capabilities. With interconnected apps, you no longer have to utilize multiple spreadsheets to calculate your margins or use multiple software tools to achieve the results you are looking for.

3. Sales & Activity Tracking Made Easy

We learned that brewing beer is half the battle for many breweries, and the remainder is selling it. Ohanafy takes care of the battle for you and gives you visibility into sales and activities across the brewery. Sales reports and dashboards in Ohanafy outline:

• Revenue by quarter and by year

4. Effortless Search & Navigation

Customers loved Ohanafy’s effortless navigation, including its search bar tool, an often overlooked feature by most software companies.This valuable functionality helps breweries save time and learn the software faster.

5. Real-time inventory & locations tracking

One standout feature that garnered immense praise from attendees and customers alike is Ohanafy’s real-time inventory and location tracking capabilities. Whether transitioning from outdated brewery management software or starting from scratch without any software, numerous breweries encounter challenges when it comes to tracking inventory in real-time. With Ohanafy, such roadblocks are eliminated as it offers a comprehensive 360° inventory management system, providing precise insights into your inventory needs and ensuring you know exactly what you need and when you need it. 

6. The Power of Salesforce

What sets Ohanafy apart is its distinctive integration with Salesforce, driving our platform to adapt to your specific needs rather than requiring you to conform to predefined structures. By harnessing the capabilities of Salesforce, Ohanafy opens up a world of endless possibilities, empowering you to tailor the system according to your preferences and unleashing the full potential of your brewery operations. This customer-centric approach has made Ohanafy a beloved choice among competitors.

8. A Transparent Pricing Model

During the conference, a common sentiment expressed by breweries was their frustration with the pricing models employed by software companies. Many of these companies utilize user-based pricing, which often leads to additional charges for new users or access to Support Specialists. At Ohanafy, we take a different approach. We believe in transparency and fairness, so our pricing model is designed to provide clarity and value at one flat rate. With us, you don’t have to worry about unexpected fees for adding new users or accessing support when you need it most. We prioritize your satisfaction by offering a straightforward, inclusive pricing structure that puts your brewery’s needs first.

Your success is our priority, and we are dedicated to being your trusted partner throughout the implementation process and beyond.
