Brewing, distilling, bottling, … that's passion. But running a business? That's where the complexity lies.

Many beverage producers face the same challenges: complex processes, unreliable inventory data, and accounting systems that can't keep up with your growth. 

The complexity of production, distribution, and compliance requires a sector-specific approach. Yet, many manufacturers still work with generic systems that were not built for this purpose.

With Aptean Beverage ERP Drink-IT, you choose an ERP solution that specifically addresses the needs of breweries, distilleries, and other beverage producers. 

Therefore, we would like to invite you to an exclusive and free event, specifically for professionals in the beverage industry.  

What can you expect?
Insights into the biggest ERP challenges within the beverage industry
Live demo of Drink-IT in a realistic context
Breakout sessions and production and inventory management use cases
Networking moment with industry peers
Exclusive brewery tour + tasting

Are you looking for a powerful, comprehensive business management system? Do you want a simple and efficient workflow? Or are you just in the mood for an inspiring session followed by a brewery tour and delicious tastingsEveryone is welcome!

Schedule & Break-out Sessions

12:30 PM – 1:00 PM: Reception

1:00 PM - 1:30 PM: Session ‘What is Aptean for Beverage ERP?’

1:30 PM – 2:30 PM: Start of break-out sessions regarding extensions and apps built on Aptean Beverage ERP

Session 1: Power BI in the Beverage Industry

Discover how to gain insights from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with Power BI, specifically for the beverage industry. We'll show you how to turn data into powerful dashboards for production, inventory, batch management, and margins—enabling you to make faster, better-informed decisions.

Session 2: Inspection status and quality control

Discover how to automate and strengthen your quality processes with Aptean Inspection Status and Quality Control in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. During this session, you'll see how lots are automatically blocked or released and how quality checks are triggered at the right moments in your process.

With concrete examples, we show you how to prevent errors, reduce manual work, and maintain full control over your goods flows—essential in the beverage industry.

Session 3: Tax Management & Customs Document

Would you like to stop treating excise duties & customs as an “obligation” to be handled afterwards, and instead integrate them seamlessly into your processes? In this session, we'll show you how Tax Management and Customs Document Management work together to reduce the compliance burden and increase operational speed—from production, receiving internal movements, storage, shipments, and returns.

Session 4: Production Scenarios & Scheduling

Discover how to make your production more flexible and efficient with Aptean Production Scenarios and Production Scheduling in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. During this session, we'll show you how to manage multiple production scenarios for a single product—with different BOMs, routings, locations, and raw materials—and easily switch between production variations.

Additionally, you'll see how to optimally utilize your production capacity with smart planning tools, prevent overload, and efficiently schedule production orders. Gain real-time insight into your workload and make better informed planning decisions—essential in a dynamic beverage environment.

Session 5: Advanced Sales Management

Beverage customers often order in patterns, so why would you manually do sales “over and over again”? In this breakout, you'll discover how Advanced Sales Management helps you take orders faster, sell more, and say ‘no’ less often through features like Recurring Sales, Exclusivity, Sales Alerts, Tele Sales, and Backorders—all from a fast, user-friendly order entry. From “taking an order” to “sending an order”: working with calling lists & call schedules for focus and rhythm.

Session 6: Shop Floor with Quality Management Integration

Discover how to gain more control on your production floor with Aptean Shop Floor Production in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. During this session, we will show you how to easily track production orders, manage statuses, and record time entries, with clear insight into progress and performance.

Additionally, you'll see how operators work with digital instructions, scan barcodes, perform quality checks, and print labels – all directly from the shop floor. This is how you increase efficiency, accuracy, and real-time visibility in your production process, which is essential in the beverage industry.

Session 7: Sales & Purchase Conditions & Empty Good Management

Discounts, promotions, and empty goods: if those aren't managed tightly, margin and time will leak away. In this session, you'll get inspiration on how Sales & Purchase Conditions and Empty Goods Management work together to ensure control over deals (promotions, accruals, periodic settlement) and control over deposits/packaging (deposit charges, tracking, split deposit invoice, returns, and statements)—without slowing down the process.
