Case Study: Deschutes Brewery achieves ERP selection success with Ultra Consultants

Helping Deschutes Grow Their Business Through Value Added ERP Selection

Deschutes Brewery, the Oregon craft beer manufacturer, needed to replace a nearly 19-year-old ERP system that depended heavily on Excel spreadsheets and manual processes. As the company planned an East Coast expansion and a potential second brewery, its existing software could not support multi-plant operations, real-time inventory visibility, or process manufacturing requirements.

Ultra Consultants guided Deschutes Brewery through business process improvement and ERP selection, including current-state and future-state process mapping, vendor education, and structured on-site demos tailored to Deschutes’ needs. The result was the selection of a new ERP system and a trusted advisor relationship that helped Deschutes reduce manual work, improve inventory and supply chain accuracy, and move forward with its growth plans, including its announced East Coast plant in Roanoke, Virginia.
