Brewery Management Software With a Voice AI Assistant
All-in-one software for craft breweries, wineries and distilleries; staff voice-log readings and ask "BrewBuddy" (built on Claude) about inventory.
In plain English
FermentIQ helps small breweries run their business, from brewing batches to stock and paperwork. Workers on the brewing floor can speak to an AI helper called BrewBuddy to record readings or ask what is in stock, instead of typing with wet hands. It can also draft the tax forms brewers must file. Breweries pay a monthly plan starting at $149.
