Case Study: Iowa Brewing Company streamlines inventory, POS, and accounting with Ekos

Iowa Brewing - Customer Case Study

Iowa Brewing Company, a Cedar Rapids craft brewery, struggled to keep inventory, POS, and accounting data aligned as it grew. After starting with spreadsheets and QuickBooks, the team implemented Ekos in 2017 to better manage inventory, but still faced slow, manual reconciliation between its POS and accounting systems.

By integrating Ekos with Arryved POS and QuickBooks Online, Iowa Brewing Company created a connected workflow across sales, inventory, and finance. With Ekos, the brewery reduced reconciliation from several hours a month to about one hour, gained next-day visibility into sales, improved inventory accuracy, and supported a 2x increase in packaged beer sales.
