Brewing Dollars and Simplicity: Unlocking Savings for Your Brewery

Running a successful brewery means mastering two very different worlds: the craft of brewing exceptional beer and the business of managing costs, inventory, and operations efficiently. Utility Management Services (UMS) and Ohanafy have formed a partnership specifically designed to help breweries excel at both.

Watch the video above to see how Tarboro Brewing, a mutual client of UMS and Ohanafy, benefited from both services working together.

What UMS Does for Breweries

Breweries are energy-intensive operations. Refrigeration, brewing kettles, HVAC systems, water and sewer usage, and lighting all contribute to significant monthly utility bills. Most brewery owners assume they’re already on the best available rate, but that’s rarely verified independently.

UMS performs a no-risk, off-site utility bill audit of your electric, gas, and water accounts. There’s no out-of-pocket cost and no operational changes required. UMS analysts use proprietary software to identify billing errors, overcharges, and more cost-effective rate structures — then handle all implementation directly with your utility provider.

If no savings are found, there’s no charge. Simple as that.

Clients like Triple C Brewing Co. in Charlotte, NC have saved over $9,000 annually through a UMS audit, money that goes straight back into the brewery.

What Ohanafy Does for Breweries

Ohanafy is a brewery management platform built to simplify the day-to-day business side of running a craft brewery. From inventory tracking and production management to sales and accounting integrations, Ohanafy eliminates the manual tasks that eat up time and create costly errors.

Better Together

By combining UMS’s utility cost reduction with Ohanafy’s operational efficiency platform, breweries can attack overhead from two angles simultaneously: reducing what they spend on utilities and streamlining how they manage their business.

The days of overpaying for electricity, gas, and water, and spending hours on manual inventory and accounting tasks are behind you. With UMS and Ohanafy, you can get back to what you got into this industry for: crafting the best beer in the country.
