Sustainability Software for Beverage Production
No longer a buzzword, sustainability is a critical focus for businesses across the board. In the alcoholic beverage industry, which is uniquely impacted by climate change, companies are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact. For many, sustainability software is proving to be a game changer. With consumers placing a higher value on eco-friendly products, companies that take corporate responsibility seriously are finding strategic and social benefits.
According to research by the IWSR, nearly half (48%) of U.S. alcohol drinkers say a company’s sustainability efforts influence their purchasing decisions. This shift in consumer behavior means that, for businesses, adopting sustainable practices isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good for the bottom line.
At Doozy Solutions, we’ve had countless conversations with clients in the beverage industry, from breweries to wineries, about their sustainability challenges. The key issue we hear? Measuring environmental impact is complex, and understanding the ROI of sustainability efforts can be even more challenging. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Sustainability Center, the first sustainability software for beverage producers designed to track and report on environmental and corporate responsibility metrics.
Introducing the Sustainability Center: The Leading Sustainability Software
Our Sustainability Center launched in 2023 as a powerful tool for beverage companies to take charge of their environmental impact. This sustainability software integrates seamlessly into NetSuite, enabling businesses to track everything from resource consumption to waste management. With this data in hand, companies can pinpoint opportunities for improvement, aggregate metrics for auditable reporting, and showcase progress on sustainability goals.
Jeremy King, co-founder and chief solution architect at Doozy Solutions, explains it best:
“Tracking resource usage and waste management metrics is key to understanding and managing your environmental impact. By embedding these metrics into your company’s NetSuite solution, the Sustainability Center gives organizations unparalleled clarity about resource costs and sustainability progress—all within the larger business context.”
With the Sustainability Center, alcoholic beverage companies can finally overcome two of their most significant hurdles: measuring their environmental impact and understanding the ROI of their sustainability efforts.
Key Features of the Sustainability Center
What sets our sustainability software apart is its ease of use and customizability. Designed to support businesses at any stage of their sustainability journey, the software helps companies identify key performance indicators (KPIs) related to winery sustainability, corporate responsibility and more. Whether you’re just starting out or have been managing green initiatives for years, the Sustainability Center can support your goals.
Here are just a few of the preset sustainability metrics that come built into the software:
- Electricity Usage
- Fuel Consumption
- CO2 Emissions
- Water Usage
- Wastewater Output
- Waste Disposal
- Recycling Rates
- Composting Practices
But that’s not all. If your company has more specific needs, the Sustainability Center can be customized to track virtually any data point across the supply chain. This means you can go beyond generic metrics and dive deep into areas that matter most to your business. From a brewery’s water consumption to a winery’s carbon footprint, our sustainability software provides the flexibility to measure, report and act on the data critical for your environmental impact.
Empowering Businesses to Meet Corporate Responsibility Goals
In today’s market, having robust corporate responsibility practices is essential for building trust with customers and stakeholders. Consumers, especially in the beverage industry, pay more attention to a company’s sustainability metrics when purchasing. In fact, studies show that consumers are willing to spend more on products from companies that demonstrate transparency and commitment to reducing their environmental impact.
The Sustainability Center not only helps businesses track their efforts but also serves as a valuable communication tool. Bev-alc businesses can use the data collected to create reports and share progress to promote their sustainability achievements internally and externally. This level of transparency helps build stronger relationships with customers, who are increasingly seeking brands that align with their values.
Easy Integration and Minimal Setup
Another significant advantage of our sustainability software is how easily it integrates into your existing system. The Sustainability Center was built as an expandable framework, which means it can be installed and configured in less than an hour. Once set up, you’ll have access to a comprehensive suite of sustainability metrics at your fingertips.
For businesses using Crafted ERP, the Sustainability Center is already included! This makes tracking sustainability efforts even more seamless, with all your data in one place, providing complete visibility into your operations. And the best part? Doozy offers the SuiteApp at no cost to nonprofit organizations already using NetSuite, reinforcing our commitment to supporting corporate responsibility on a broader scale.
The Path Forward: Driving Sustainability in the Beverage Industry
The launch of the Sustainability Center marks a significant step forward for the beverage industry. Whether you’re a winery focused on sustainability metrics or a brewery aiming to minimize its environmental impact, our software can help you reach and exceed your goals.
Leveraging technology to gather and analyze data allows bev-alc businesses to pinpoint opportunities to enhance sustainability practices while monitoring progress over time. Moreover, aligning these green initiatives with brand values and customer expectations helps foster customer loyalty and distinguish them from the competition.
Breweries, wineries and distillers can explore opportunities to integrate sustainability metrics into their marketing and customer engagement strategies to maximize the Sustainability Center’s benefits further. Businesses can strengthen connections with eco-conscious consumers by sharing progress on reducing environmental impact. This could include highlighting sustainability achievements on product packaging, social media or in-store displays.
These efforts boost a brand’s reputation and position it as a leader in the growing movement toward environmental stewardship.
