Case Study: New Belgium Brewing achieves multi-plant scheduling visibility and reduced setup time with PlanetTogether

New Belgium Brewing Company - Customer Case Study

New Belgium Brewing, a fast-growing employee-owned brewery, struggled to manage increasingly complex multi-plant production with notebooks, dry-erase boards, and unstable Excel spreadsheets. As the company expanded from a single operation to multiple breweries and more than 100 brands, scheduling became time-consuming and error-prone, with limited visibility between locations.

PlanetTogether implemented its APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) system to integrate with Microsoft AX and provide real-time scheduling visibility across plants. The result was a 30% reduction in setup time and more than a 20% reduction in late jobs, while improving coordination, transparency, and production efficiency for New Belgium Brewing.
