FermentAble Reviews in April 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

"Solid experience, with quick responses and a growing catalog of features"

What do you like best about Ollie? Ollie's interface is easy to work and and is continuing to develop. Option to upgrade to have the marketplace (not something we need since we sell mostly through distributors), and not being forced to have that option active. What do you dislike about Ollie? The credits to be allied to invoices and accounts is lacking. With keg deposits and keg tracking being something that impact a lot of brewery's day to day operations as well as money coming in and out ...

"Ollie is great but requires the time to get the value."

What do you like best about Ollie? Ollie helps keep inventory organized and account for every cost of the goods sold big and small. Keeping track of packaged good in house and into distribution is one of the main reasons we chose to use Ollie. Its nice to seamlessly chack package logs and tack that batch all the way to service over the bar. What do you dislike about Ollie? Of course this is circustantial per brewery operation, but Ollie requires more hours than i can dedicate to it to get ...

"Great product for raw material tracking at a small brewer."

What do you like best about Ollie? Ollie has been extremely helpful in tracking our raw material inventory and generating POs for upcoming scheduled brews. It is also a fantastic tool for tracking our COGs. What do you dislike about Ollie? The only feature I feel is missing is I would like to be able to pull up a certain grain or hop and see what recipes those particulars items are used in to determine if a reorder is needed soon. For example: I could pull up Cascade hops and it would show ...

"Easy to use, cost effective and feature rich"

What do you like best about Ollie? When we were shopping for software to manage brewery production we looked at nearly every available option. Some were obviously made with big breweries in mind and the price reflected that. Other, less expensive options didn't provide the features we wanted. Ollie Ops strikes a great balance. What do you dislike about Ollie? With recent updates, it took me awhile to get the hang out of creating products and packaging but I think I'm getting the hang of it. ...

"Brewer-centric brewery management software"

What do you like best about Ollie? I like how integrations into our daily operations are founded in common-sense from a brewers perspective. If i want to do something, I just click and choose the appropriate function and enter my data. If I need to re-work something, the process is easy and there isn't as much double backing like in other softwares I've used in the past. What do you dislike about Ollie? The initial setup is a large undertaking. There are times that what something is ...

"Helping us work smarter, not harder"

What do you like best about Ollie? Love having inventory for all warehouses available in real time. Preselling and allocating products to our accounts and distributors has helped us keep from overselling product and cut down our inventory mistakes. Also love the time we save on invoicing and routing each day. Helps to get our team out the door quicker and to make more deliveries throughout the day. Being able to mark deliveries that have occurred in real time helps keeps sales reps up to ...

"Great Brewery & Distribution Management System!"

What do you like best about Ollie? Great to manage inventory and costs for our brewery production facility with Ops. Then Order is organized for all of our sales staff to place orders and see real time supply/demand since we self-distribute. What do you dislike about Ollie? The time it can take to get the system online and correct is pretty cumbersome. Need buy-in from the whole team in order to make it run effectively and live by the system daily. What problems is Ollie solving and how is ...
