Beltway Brewing Company Melds Operations and Accounting with VicinityBrew Brewery Management Software

    ATLANTA, GA, January 07, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Vicinity Manufacturing is pleased to announce that Beltway Brewing Company has selected VicinityBrew craft brewery software to address the specific brewery management software needs of their company.

Beltway Brewing Company is headquartered in Sterling, Virginia. Beltway Brewing follows a slightly different business plan than the majority of startup breweries. Beltway Brewing Company has dedicated their efforts to contract brewing for other brands. Clients include breweries that have reached a max capacity and have an immediate need for further production. Breweries whose demand has exceeded their operational footprint are able to utilize Beltway Brewing's facility to extend their production scale without committing to costly and time consuming expansion projects.

Additionally, Beltway Brewing is a resource for startup breweries who do not have the capital investment to build their brewery. This allows them to begin production and brand development while generating demand at a significantly lower risk than building their business alone from the ground up.

Beltway Brewing's clients also include local restaurants. The brewery has partnered with a number of notable establishments to help them develop and produce their own private label brew.

VicinityBrew, the first brewery management software written specifically for Microsoft Dynamics. VicinityBrew with Microsoft Dynamics provides breweries with the essential tools to meet fluctuating demands of customer requirements for quality, delivery, and price. Key functionality includes centralized recipe management, quality control, lot traceability and recall, TTB reporting, inventory control, production planning, and scheduling.

Recently VicinityBrew sponsored and spoke at Brewbound's Winter Session in San Diego this past December. Topics were focused around business issues CEO Randy Smith shared his experience and knowledge on how implementing the right software solutions can increase production, growth, and profits. Consequently, easing the growing pains for breweries and help enable their future success.

"As a brewery dedicated to partner and contract brewing, we are required to manage a wide range and great quantity of data. We quickly felt a need to put a system in place to properly analyze that data and gain a greater insight into all of our business processes.

VicinityBrew offered a fully integrated system along production and finance that would provide us with the visibility needed to better understand each stage of our business and opportunities for greater controls as our brewery grows and evolves," explains Sten Sellier, Founder of Beltway Brewing Company.

Beltway's new craft brewing ERP software, VicinityBrew with Microsoft Dynamics, will be replacing QuickBooks and Excel tracking to a more unified and scalable software system that can grow with their rapidly growing business.
