When a brewery is positioned to be acquired, it is critical that they have their housekeeping in order. &nbsp;If they are using various data systems this could be less appealing to a buyer who is aware of the time and resources needed for a multiple system data integration.  <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In conclusion <\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/treehousetechgroup.com\">Treehouse Technology Group <\/a>can help brewers capture and display data across multiple systems. &nbsp;With access to data analytics in real-time, brewers can better manage inventory and production to identify and resolve problems. &nbsp;With an entire brewery using the same system and accessing the same data, decisions can be made using accurate information in a collaborative manner. &nbsp;<br><br>For more information on how Treehouse Technology Group can help your brewery implement a data management system, <a href=\"http:\/\/offers.treehousetechgroup.com\/30-minute\">contact us today<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a time when Goliaths with massive market shares control almost every sector, there exists an extraordinary anomaly: craft breweries. &nbsp;In fact, between 2008 and 2016, the number of breweries expanded by a factor of six, and the number of brewery workers grew by 120 percent.
