Improved contract brew batch schedule calendar
The calendar has been updated to show the time that contract brews are in-progress for (by taking the time between the batch start date and the last planned packaging).

You can now set the required delivery vehicle attributes on a customer (to apply to all their orders) and on a delivery area (to apply to all deliveries in that area). This is in addition to the original application on a per-order basis. This is really handy for low-emission-zone style attributes or the requirement of a smaller vehicle due to a customer being on a small road, for example.
This was another great suggestion from our community! This feature requires our Advanced Deliveries addon to function.
You can now filter the items shown on the Stock availability forecast report. This great report can sometimes be cluttered by lots of products (such as one-offs), so filtering what is shown will make the results even more valuable (and save you time). This was another great suggestion from our wonderful customers - thank you!
We've launched the first version of our "Public API". This allows you to build your own integrations with Breww and other partners in the industry to integrate with us.
To get started:
We plan to build out more functionality in the future, but if you have any specific requests for the API, please open a feature request.
Another great suggestion on our feature requests community. You can now set the default allergens that you'd like on all newly created beers, which saves you time in typing them every time a new beer is added. Head to Settings > Product settings, to define them.
Sometimes you have more deliveries to do in one day than can be done with a single run in each of your vehicles. A common cause of this is the total weight being more than the combined weight capacity of your vehicles. Up to now, you've been able to schedule some deliveries for the morning, then later in the day, schedule another run for the rest. This has worked ok, but it may not have always led to the most efficient use of time/mileage. With today's update, you can check a box to let Breww schedule multiple runs for each vehicle and improve the overall efficiency of the day.
In your "Delivery Settings", you can now set a "Delivery vehicle loading time", which is used to ensure that the turn-around time (between the 1st and 2nd runs) is reasonable to ensure that the afternoon run's ETAs are also reliable.
We're delighted to announce this heavily requested new feature. For information on how to set this up, please see How to configure emails to be sent from your own domain name's email address. This is another great suggestion from our community; thank you to everyone who voted for this.
Creating and updating your recipes is now even faster, thanks to this great suggestion in our community feature requests area. In two clicks (one to confirm), you can now duplicate a recipe action to make a new action that's similar to an existing action.
We've added a brand new feature to allow you to see the day's deliveries on a timeline, showing you at a glance when each delivery will be, how long they are expected to take (drop duration) and the time between each one. Breaks and uplifts are also plotted. This can be viewed by clicking on the "Show timeline" button and requires a subscription to our Advanced deliveries addon (as without this, there are no ETAs for each delivery). See the video below for a quick example:
There's a new setting in Settings > Label settings that allows you to choose to show a full date as the best before date (e.g. 12/01/2024) or just the month and year (e.g. Jan 2023) on your printed labels. This option applies to both delivery labels and stock labels. The default is as has always been shown in Breww before (the exact date), but you can now switch the "Best before date display format" option if you'd like to just see the month and year.
This is another great suggestion from our community, see Best Before End rather than Best Before (Show month and year only).
