Each line must have a brand linked to it.
Each brand belongs to a brewery.
One of the first steps in setting up your company in Tap Trackers is to upload all the breweries and brands you will encounter in the field.
Hold on! Relax! We will upload about 200 of the biggest brands in your country for you when we onboard your company, and you can easily bulk upload your brands (in addition to adding them one at a time) to the Tap Trackers system.
Having a brand/brewery linked to each line does the following:
Helps your techs know which line to clean
Makes communication easier when you have a service call - “The Bud Light line is foamy”. Bar staff won’t call to tell you line 17 is foamy; they’ll tell you the brand.
When you look at your line cleaning status page (you’ll be checking it daily), you will easily see which lines are overdue and which are not.
Reporting/invoicing is much easier when you list the brands rather than just line numbers.
It helps identify potential competitive targets for your brewery/distributor clients so they can take that line over, which gives you more lines to clean (more $$).
