**UK:** The 5th Ingredient unveils its Brewery Command Center, a new dashboard platform providing breweries with real-time data insights on sales, costs, and efficiency, aiming to boost decision-making and operational control. Kona Brewing Hawaii tested the technology, praising its real-time data capabilities.
The 5th Ingredient, renowned for its brewery management software Beer30, has announced the launch of its latest innovation, the “Brewery Command Center.” This new data and insights platform aims to revolutionise how brewery managers and operators oversee their business operations by providing a comprehensive, visually engaging dashboard that consolidates key business metrics into an accessible format.
Unveiled on 15 April 2025, the Brewery Command Center is designed to cater to breweries of all sizes and business models. It offers a clear, easy-to-read overview of critical performance indicators such as sales data, costs, raw material usage, production efficiency, and more. By translating raw data into interactive, intuitive charts and visualisations, it allows brewery owners to monitor their operations with greater ease and accuracy, streamlining the decision-making process.
Speaking to All About Beer, Pulkit K. Agrawal, Founder and CEO of The 5th Ingredient, emphasised the significance of the platform: “This is a big step forward for the craft brewing industry. Owners and operators at breweries are creative and passionate problem solvers by nature. For so long, they haven’t had the information they need to trust that they’re making the right decisions every time. With our new Beer30 Command Center, we are pioneering a truly innovative solution that lets them have confidence in the choices they make for the future of their business and take strategic actions to help improve their overall operations.”
The Brewery Command Center draws on Beer30’s proprietary algorithms, providing users with real-time insights into their true costs of goods sold (COGS), brand and format performance impacts, and operational efficiency. This level of detail and accuracy aims to replace guesswork and reduce reliance on costly assumptions within brewery management.
Among the platform’s key features are live data monitoring, dynamic Tableau charts that display trends in sales, margins, beer loss, tank utilisation, and ingredient consumption, along with comparative reports that track progress across weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual periods. The user-friendly interfaces are designed for simplicity, ensuring accessibility even for users without extensive technical expertise.
Kona Brewing Hawaii, a well-known customer of Beer30, has been actively involved in testing and refining the Command Center over the past six months. Nathalie Carisey, President of Kona Brewing, shared her experience: “As a data driven company, we knew we could be more efficient with our data analytics. Using the Command Center now gives us the ability to view data real time, identifying areas of needs. This enables us to quickly pivot and provide immediate responses to emerging issues.”
The platform is now live and available to all Beer30 users, promising to empower breweries with enhanced control over their operations in a competitive and evolving industry landscape.
