The 5th Ingredient is proud to announce the launch of a new integration between Beer30, its industry-leading brewery management software, and NetSuite, the enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform trusted by growing and mature businesses across the world. This first-of-its-kind integration delivers a powerful, cost-effective way for breweries to combine deep, industry-specific tools for brewing and operations with best-in-class financials and CRM capabilities.

Breweries have long faced a unique challenge as they have scaled: no general ERP is designed to handle the realities of brewing and beverage production, while standalone brewery software often falls short with respect to the finance and resource management needs of larger companies. The Beer30 + NetSuite integration closes that gap, allowing breweries to manage production, inventory, quality, and demand planning with tools purpose-built for brewing—while leveraging NetSuite’s robust accounting, reporting, and sales management capabilities.

“We have been working with Kona Brewing Hawaii since their transition from Orchestrated Beer more than 4-years ago,” explained Pulkit K. Agrawal, Founder & CEO of The 5th Ingredient.  “Last year, they approached us to indicate that they had outgrown QuickBooks Online, and needed a more robust financial management system. The industry has long needed a better integration with NetSuite, and the results speak for themselves.  With our new Beer30 and NetSuite dual-sync integration, breweries in the industry will get the industry-leading power of Beer30 for production, quality, inventory usage, MRP, and demand planning, while having items like payroll, financial P&Ls, and cash flow planning live in NetSuite’s award-winning ERP software.” 

The integration enables seamless data flow between Beer30 and NetSuite, eliminating double handling and manual entry, improving data accuracy, and giving brewery leadership clearer visibility across operations and finance. From raw materials through finished goods, and from  production floor to financial close, teams can operate with confidence and speed in a way that no other software solution can offer.

While other brewing software overlays have long existed for NetSuite, they have always been limited by the infrastructure of NetSuite itself. Beer30’s status as the independent gold standard for production software lets it provide far more powerful functionality and features for brewers, at a fraction of the cost of competitors.

Jennifer Busch, the VP of Finance for Kona Brewing Hawaii said, “Because Beer30 is built around the brewing process, our brewers have embraced the software. We finally have real-time information-rich brewing data available in one place (and that place is not a clipboard). We are excited about continued process improvements and data analysis as we partner with Beer30 moving forward!”

The integration is available now, and comes with the same dedicated real-time support, executive dashboards, and unlimited users that Beer30 customers have come to expect.
