We’ve had a few requests previously for a ‘Rate of Sale’ report, but none have officially been logged on our feature request board. It would be great to hear what Breww users would like from a report like this, so please add your votes and comments!
Absolutely ! One feature I’d like to see is ROS by customer by product/container type (Queens Head - 2 casks per week over the last 2 months) and a report when someone drops below (last week didn’t take any) - this would give sales team members a list of accounts that need some extra care.
From an ops side, I’d like to see the ROS report (or rate of production, rate of consumption etc…) of all SKUs used to then calculate raw material consumption - ie ROS of current SKUs leads to demand of 10k bottles per month over all bottled SKU forecasts, forecast to increasing/decreasing at X% etc. This would help with longer term planning (ie bottle contracts for the year).
Similarly for leased Casks - ROS report would feed into an ordering schedule to Kegstar - 2 pallets a week, increasing to 3 etc.
Cheers

I’d like to be able to look at a product type, e.g. Blonde 9G Cask or Cascade 500ml bottle, and be able to look at the rate of sale per week over the last 8 weeks in order to work out an average per week and when I’d need to rebrew before stocks run out. Also to then do a similar process with historical data so look at the same period for a previous year to try predict peaks and troughs.

Thanks for voting for this request, @ben-pearson.
Regarding:
I just wanted to point out the feature - Beer stock availability forecasting 📊 tool now available - in case you hadn’t seen it, as this is pretty much exactly what this does. It doesn’t (yet) let you look at the same period in previous years for seasonality, however, but that would be a great addition and probably warrants it’s own feature request
