What inventory management software should small drinks brands use for batch/serial numbers, stock tracking, and ingredient management?

Members recommend several options depending on budget and complexity. **Unleashed** is praised for accuracy, especially with multiple ingredients and component parts, and integrates with Xero and Sage, though it's expensive. **Breww** (£175/month average) is a popular cost-effective alternative—volume-based pricing, includes basic CRM, 1% trade store commission, integrates with Xero, has a deliveries system, and strong support. Members use it successfully beyond brewing (e.g., for syrup production) without needing additional staff. **Workhorse** and **Brewman** are also mentioned as cheaper options. For larger operations, **SAP B1** (cloud-based) and **Oracle NetSuite** integrate well with other systems. Members strongly advise against using Xero alone for stock control—it becomes painful beyond small production runs with few SKUs. The consensus is to commit to one system, as they take time to learn but become reliable once embedded.
