April 15, 2025 – The 5th Ingredient, creator of the popular brewery management software Beer30, is excited to announce the launch of their “Brewery Command Center”, a revolutionary new data and insights platform that allows managers and operators to see nearly every aspect of their business’s key operations at a glance. These new dashboards provide a visually stunning alternative to the difficult-to-decipher raw data sets that most software brands provide. This new, easy-to-use tool for real-time data visualization and actionable insights empowers users to make informed decisions for their business and saves them countless hours of searching through spreadsheets and tables for the information they need to be successful.

The Brewery Command Center is designed for breweries of any size or business model, and provides a comprehensive, easy-to-read view of your most important metrics for sales, costs, raw materials, production efficiency, and so much more. 

True Insights

At a time when there is so much uncertainty in the economy, understanding everything from your true COGS (costs of goods sold), to what brands and formats are the most impactful on your bottom line, to how efficiently your brewery is operating are all key to making the right strategic choices to succeed in an increasingly-competitive market. Powered by Beer30’s proprietary algorithms and tracking, users will have the most accurate view possible of what is actually happening in their business, eliminating guesswork, and costly assumptions.

With interactive, intuitive charts and visualizations, brewery owners can now monitor their business operations more easily and more accurately than ever before, letting them turn their attention back to the beer and people that matter most.

Key Features of the Operations Analysis Dashboards:

• Real-Time Insights: Access live data to monitor performance and costs as they happen, ensuring informed decision-making
• Data Made Easy: Dynamic, user-friendly Tableau charts provide a clear overview of sales trends, product margins, beer loss, tank utilization, ingredient usage, and more
• Comparison Over Times: Understand how each report is trending on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual basis
• Actionable Information: Identify areas for improvement, optimize your portfolio, and understand your costs to increase profitability
• Ease of Use: Designed for simplicity, the dashboards make complex data accessible to all users, regardless of technical expertise

“This is a big step forward for the craft brewing industry,” explained Pulkit K. Agrawal, Founder and CEO of The 5th Ingredient. “Owners and operators at breweries are creative and  passionate problem solvers by nature. For so long, they haven’t had the information they need to trust that they’re making the right decisions every time.  With our new Beer30 Command Center, we are pioneering a truly innovative solution that lets them have confidence in the choices they make for the future of their business and take strategic actions to help improve their overall operations.”

One of Beer30’s flagship customers – Kona Brewing Hawaii – has been working with the engineering team at The 5th Ingredient over the last 6-months, to really hone in on how they have utilized these new dashboards for their day-to-day.  

“As a data driven company, we knew we could be more efficient with our data analytics,” said Nathalie Carisey, Kona’s President. “Using the Command Center now gives us the ability to view data real time, identifying areas of needs. This enables us to quickly pivot and provide immediate responses to emerging issues.”

Beer30’s Brewery Command Center platform is now live and available to all users, putting more power than ever into their hands to take charge of their business as they navigate an ever-changing industry.
