Case Study: Coopers Brewery achieves 70% reduction in potential revenue loss and better beer quality with Tableau Software

Coopers Brewery brews better beer with Tableau

Coopers Brewery, Australia’s largest and only family‑owned brewery founded in 1862, faced operational challenges around beer wastage, inconsistent foam stability and complex supply‑chain visibility. Brewing and Supply Chain Manager Dr. Jon Meneses needed a way to move beyond gut feel and pages of numbers across 350+ SKUs to identify root causes and reduce risk.

By implementing Tableau dashboards and visual analytics, the team pinpointed loss points in production (saving an estimated 70% of potential revenue loss from wastage), uncovered a strong correlation between mash temperature and foam stability to improve product quality, and created a single source of truth for stock, sales and demand—enabling faster, data‑driven supply‑chain decisions and ongoing operational improvements.
