Case Study: Sleeman Breweries achieves real-time production visibility and increased margins with Flowmation Systems

Sleeman Breweries - Customer Case Study

Sleeman Breweries, now the third largest brewing company in Canada, faced mounting complexity after acquisitions left it managing multiple brands and plants with exponential data growth. Brewers lacked real-time visibility into liquid flow, inventory and tank capacity, relying on dozens of clipboards and hundreds of spreadsheets so problems only surfaced after week-end, risking production falling behind marketing and distribution; Flowmation Systems was engaged to solve this.

Flowmation Systems deployed its Brewery Information System to provide real-time electronic flow planning and scheduling for raw materials, production and packaging, enabling planned-vs-actual brew comparisons, capacity assessment for new demand, and synchronization of production, sales and marketing. The solution increased operational efficiency, reduced costs, freed staff from report writing to consolidate electronic operational data, helped capture new sales opportunities and delivered higher sustainable margins, improving Sleeman’s bottom line.
