At Beanventory, we’re thrilled to announce the release of some exciting new features that will revolutionize the way coffee roasteries manage their inventory. We’ve been hard at work to bring you a set of tools that will streamline your operations, save you time, and give you more control than ever before. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the details of these updates and explain why accurate inventory tracking is vital for the success of any coffee roastery.
- Fine-Tuned Green Coffee Inventory Control: Roasting coffee begins with green beans, and we understand the importance of having a precise view of your stock. Our new update allows you to adjust your green coffee inventory in the roastery. Deal with unavoidable discrepancies such as bag-to-bag green coffee weight variability and maintain real-time inventory accuracy.
- Roasting Schedule Enhancements: We’ve expanded our inventory control capabilities beyond green coffee. Now, with Beanventory, you can effortlessly manage your roasted coffee inventory, or overage, within the roasting schedule. You can now quickly weigh out your overage and simply add the numbers into the inventory so that the production schedule stays super accurate. Adjusting the quantities of roasted, ground, and bagged coffee has never been easier. Keep track of your inventory levels and ensure you have just the right amount of each variant available at any given time.
The Importance of Accurate Inventory Tracking in a Coffee Roastery:
Accurate inventory tracking is the backbone of any successful coffee roastery production. But it is no easy task.
Every coffee roastery has discrepancies in their green and roasted inventories arising from:
- Green coffee bag-to-bag weight variability. A 60 kg green coffee bag almost never has 60000 grams of green coffee.
- Slight variation in coffee roasting weight loss between batches.
- Quality Control. Sample roasting or test roast to get your roasting profiles right as well as taking samples from your production for QC.
- Accidents, spillage etc.
- Gifting bags to friends and or using roasted coffee in the roastery
The discrepancies add up over time and grow larger. You need a method to keep on top of it, that doesn’t get in the way of working. There are two ways of doing it, one is to keep track of every little discrepancy as it happens, and the second is to do stock takes at set times, like weighing your overage at the end of the day rather than weighing every batch. With the new features, Beanventory now allows for both ways of working or a combination of the two.
More accurate inventories allow you to make informed decisions and ensure your production schedule for the day can fulfil customer orders promptly. By maintaining precise inventory records, you minimize the risk of overstocking or running out while fulfilling orders.
At Beanventory, we are committed to providing coffee roasteries with intuitive tools that simplify roastery management. Our latest features will help you organise your roastery and stay more accurate on the go. You’ll now be able to make more informed decisions, improve efficiency, and ensure customer satisfaction.
