Our Container Deposit Schemes feature has just had a huge update to let you return CDS deposits to your customers. Find out more about how this works here. Schemes like this are not as common in the UK as they are in other parts of the world, but they're a great way to ensure that your casks/kegs don't get lost and certainly don't become tables, dog water dispensers or anything else!

Just like you can already do with Custom Report Builder reports, you can now get your Raw Data Explorer reports delivered to you by email every day/week/month. To get started, create a Raw Data Explorer report, save it and then scroll to the bottom of the page to schedule automatic delivery by email.

When managing your deliveries, you can assign specific stock (such as specific kegs) to a delivery. Sometimes, at the point of ordering, you will want to choose which batch of stock must be used to fulfil the delivery but don’t yet know which specific cask/keg numbers will be used. Breww now supports this workflow. For more, please see How to pre-assign a batch of stock to an order without choosing specific containers until later.

Over the last few weeks, we have been trialling our courier integrations with a number of customers, and we're delighted to announce that this test is complete, so this feature is now open for everyone to take advantage of. If you send parcels via a supported courier, you can now create shipping labels and track the parcel's delivery progress without leaving Breww. For more information on how this works, please see our courier integrations guide. Please also note that this is an addon feature with a small extra charge (pricing can be found here).

We're delighted to launch a long-awaited new feature! You can now prepare a bulk move of product stock and schedule this into a delivery run. This works much like a standard order delivery, but with the stock being moved between sites in Breww (rather than delivered to a customer). See our help guide here for more information.

Planning your batch schedule and vessel usage is now faster than ever before! You can define against each recipe in Breww which vessel types need to be used and for how long. Then, when planning a new batch, Breww will find suitable vessels for you and block them out on the batch schedule to save you from having to do this manually each time. For more information, see our Automatically planning vessel usage guide.

Stock valuations run from now on will always include a breakdown by site, which is included in the Excel export, allowing you to report on the value of your stock per site.

Thanks again to our fantastic community for the suggestion!

Following the recent addition of Custom vessel groupings, you now have the option for the batch schedule to use these groupings rather than the vessel types. Head to Settings -> Production settings, to enable the new option and take advantage of this improvement!

You can now split a single order into two orders, which allows for two separate deliveries. This can be especially useful on orders from external sales platforms (EeBria, Sellar, webshops, etc) where you were unable to add the order as two separate orders in the first place. Simply use the new "Split order" button in the "Order actions" menu at the top-right of the order page. Please note that this will still result in two separate invoices being generated.

To save time, you no longer need to set weights and HS/commodity codes on each product. You can now set them on the container types, and they'll be picked up by the products automatically. If you need fine-grain control, you can still put them on a product to take precedence over what the container type might be suggesting the weight/HS code should be. This was another brilliant suggestion from our community, so thank you to everyone who voted and helped make Breww better!
