Automated Accounting
OrchestratedBEER replaces generic bookkeeping software with an automated brewery-specific accounting solution. Execute day-to-day accounting activities while journal entries are automatically created behind the scenes as each process occurs.
OBeer takes brewery accounting to the next level by capturing variances throughout production allowing users to compare planned quantities to what actually happened. This information is then transformed into a variety of intuitive financial reports and forecasts that provide a 360-degree view of the brewery's financial standing.
OBeer's automated accounting reduces manual entry and eliminates the need to keep books after the fact.

Brewery-Specific Chart of Accounts
The OBeer chart of accounts was designed specifically for breweries by breweries based on the patterns and similarities gathered over time through countless implementations. This time-tested account design provides a tailored brewery accounting template, while maintaining the industry standard that hundreds of breweries rely on today.

Automated Journal Entries
Most generic bookkeeping software applications require the user to manually create journal entries for every transaction. With OBeer, Journal entries are automatically created behind the scenes as transactions occur. This automation is all possible because of OBeer's pre-defined G/L determinations.
OBeer Journal Entry
Dynamic Cost Accounting
OBeer utilises a moving average valuation method defined at the item level. This dynamic cost accounting enables you to track real-time costs of purchased and produced items as prices fluctuate or production variances occur.
Since the moving average costs fluctuate with any new purchase, it can only be used with a perpetual inventory tracking system; which keeps real-time records of inventory balances. The averaging method is considered the best option for yielding "safe and conservative" numbers for brewery financial reporting.
OBeer is currently the only brewery software solution capable of handling a moving average valuation method.
OBeer Moving Average Costing Method
Budget Management
OBeer allows you to create and manage budgets associated with specific G/L accounts to evaluate performance so you're always up to date with your financial standing. OBeer's P&L statement utilises a budget creation utility to help plan what you spend and what you receive, then measure against what actually happened.
Financial Statements & Reporting
OBeer includes a variety of financial reports and forecasting utilities that provide a complete 360-degree financial view of your brewery.
