Coffee Roaster
CoffeeRoaster is a productivity application for specialty Coffee roasters who use QuickBooks to manage sales invoices. The application imports sales invoice data from QuickBooks, organizes and summarizies the coffees that need to be roasted for a Roaster and the coffees that need to be Bagged by a production operator. Data from all Sales Line Items imported from Quickbooks is stored in a local Coffee Roaster database along with separate production information for individual coffees.
CoffeeRoaster consists of three modules with a fourth in development. The main module, Production, connects to Quickbooks 2008 - 2012 and imports sales invoice line item data into a CoffeeRoaster Database. Once the data is in CoffeeRoaster, the application determines which coffees need to be built and roasted and provides detailed summaries to production and roaster operators. The image below shows coffees that have been imported from QuickBooks along with coffees that need to be built to stock shelves. The rows in blue are priority for the production operator as they represent immediate sales. The coffee rows with a white background are being built to stock shelves according to quantities determined by management. Data displayed for the production unit is in bags of coffee to package.
The Roaster has different needs from the coffee Bagger, thus the data displayed for the roaster is in lbs of coffee to roast by Coffee Group. Groups represent the base stock or blend that one or more finished coffees are derived from. The example below shows Coffee Roasts that need to be roasted to fill Sales Orders and reach the predetermined Shelf Goals.
As coffees are produced, Coffee Roaster stores the data for future reports as shown below. The Coffee form provides numerical summaries for lbs produced by month and by weekday for each coffee item. The graph can display production totals by month or by weekday for each coffee.
Additional information regarding Coffee Roaster is available in the Adobe Acrobat documents below. CoffeeRoaster G2 documentation is still in development and will be available at a later time.
