## Why breweries switch from Ollie to BrewPlanner

BrewPlanner was built to address the gaps breweries experience with legacy tools like Ollie.

### A Modern Interface You Will Actually Use

BrewPlanner is built with a clean, intuitive interface that your whole team can learn in minutes — not days. No clunky navigation or hidden features.

- Visual drag-and-drop scheduling
- Mobile-friendly design for the brewery floor
- Minimal training required for new team members

### Built-In MRP That Ollie Lacks

BrewPlanner's MRP module calculates raw material requirements based on your production schedule and automatically generates purchase orders — a capability Ollie does not include.

- Automatic material requirement calculations
- Purchase order generation from production schedule
- Supplier management and cost tracking

### Flexible Reporting Without Add-Ons

Get the reports you need — production metrics, inventory analysis, cost tracking — included in your plan, not sold as separate add-ons.

- Pre-built dashboards for key brewery KPIs
- Custom report builder with export options
- No additional charge for reporting features

## The BrewPlanner advantage

### Lower Total Cost

BrewPlanner starts at $49/month with no per-user fees on MRP — significantly less than Ollie's pricing structure.

### Faster Setup

Most breweries are up and running on BrewPlanner within a day. No lengthy implementation or onboarding projects.

### Better Scheduling

Visual drag-and-drop scheduling with conflict detection — a more intuitive experience than Ollie's scheduling interface.

### Full MRP Included

Raw material planning, purchase orders, and inventory management are built into BrewPlanner — not available as separate add-ons.
