Ekos and GoTab Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize Craft Beverage Management Industry-leading software solutions join forces to streamline operations for craft beverage producers

Ekos, the leading business management software for craft beverage producers, and GoTab, a leading POS platform, are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership that will bring a powerful new integration to the craft beverage industry. This collaboration will address critical pain points faced by craft producers, enabling them to drive operational efficiency and improve customer experiences through a seamless sync between the two platforms.

Addressing a Market Need
In today’s market, craft producers struggle to efficiently manage inventory, sales, and accounting due to the disconnection between their Point of Sale (POS) systems and inventory management tools. This gap often leads to manual data entry, inventory discrepancies, and inefficient operations, which can negatively impact profitability and customer satisfaction. The Ekos and GoTab integration is specifically designed to solve these challenges by providing craft producers with the tools they need to streamline their operations, maintain accurate inventory levels, and enhance the customer experience.

Key Benefits of the Ekos and GoTab Integration:

• • • Mapping of Items: Users can map Ekos inventory items with POS items to ensure consistency and accuracy, eliminating discrepancies and improving data integrity.

• • • Inventory Allocation: Enable allocation of inventory to specific taproom storage locations, allowing for better tracking and management.

• • • Automatic Inventory Depletion: Real-time inventory depletion based on all GoTab Platform sales, i.e., POS, QR, Pass RFID, Online, Third Party Delivery, etc., ensuring that inventory levels are accurate and up to date.

• • • Loss Management: Manage inventory loss by tracking sales and keg kicks, reducing waste, and improving profitability.

• • • Keg Shell Management: Track and manage keg shell inventory to ensure proper returns and reduce losses.

• • • Sales Syncing: Seamlessly sync taproom sales with accounting systems like QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and Xero Online, streamlining financial reporting and reducing manual entry errors.

This integration between Ekos and GoTab will enable craft beverage producers to operate more efficiently and profitably, ensuring that their inventory management, sales tracking, and financial reporting are all seamlessly connected.

“At Ekos, our mission is to empower craft producers with the tools they need to succeed. Our partnership with GoTab is a significant step in that direction.
